Ok, as I write this, I just finished viewing 'The Mist' and the backround music is still playing while the film credits are being shown. I've never felt so annoyed by a film in my entire life!! I mean, the film making was good, flawless, impeccable, and it got me SO glued...and I guess the writer and the director wanted to annoy the audience..so much that they achieved their purpose.

I Give This FIlm 5 Stars Out Of 5. But I don't feel good. It is impossible to feel good after watching this movie.

The movie was based on a novel by Stephen King, were a father and a son got trapped in a grocery store after a mysterious mist clouded the entire town. There are some deadly creatures hiding and lurking behind the mist. Each time someone from the grocery dares to come out and escape, they die..or at least some of their body parts manage to get back to the grocery store.

But the main character dares to escape, and brings along with him his young son, and a handful of other brave people...to get out of the grocery store and dare to make the long drive...to see where the mist ends. The film's climax happens when they finally get to the Landcruiser and starts the long drive..a story of bravery and human courage.

One lesson that I learned though, never give up! Never give up! Never be terrorized by fear. Never think that life is not worth living anymore, because maybe rescue is nearer than you think!!! That's the only lesson I learned from this film. You'll know what I mean when you watch 'The Mist'!!

P.S: I'm so annoyed. I don't know. I can't tell you the ending but you can watch the film for yourself. Remember, the rating is 5 stars out of 5. By the way, it has one of the most shocking movie endings ever. Peiod.

Ok, the most common idea that movie watchers have about SUSPENSE is this: They imagine the Blair Witch Project, or some horror film with phantoms and girls with disheveled hair, standing behind the door with a knife. Unfortunately, that's not my idea of suspense.

The movie 'Misery' is not a horror film either, but it's my kind of suspense. This came out in 1990 (I know, I know..lately we have been making reviews about recently released films..but I couldn't stand the temptation of writing about Misery, even if it's a film from the 90's).

James Caan plays the role of a writer who got into a car accident, and got picked up and taken care of by one of his deranged fans, played by actress Kathy Bates.

Now, there are two things about this movie that I like. First, seeing James Caan play another lead role is a sigh of relief. No one could have played it better than him, and I also think it's a good comeback. If you remember, James played the role of Sonny Corleone in the classic film "The Godfather" many many years ago..In Misery, he looks much older and stricken and years, but the flicker of acting prowess is still there.

Secondly, I love the idea that this film was based on a novel by Stephen King. He's on a winning streak. His novels which were turned into films include The Green Mile, 1408, and lately, The Mist (I'll write a review about The Mist in the near future). MISERY provides the same atmosphere of gloom and silent power present in almost all Stephen King's works, and that's a plus factor.

Whew, I'm such a movie freak. :-)

So what's my rating for Misery? I'm gonna give it four stars out of five. I highly recommend it, but it's not good for kids less than 13 years old.

Here's a short trailer of the film:


Looks like fun, right! So go find this film, watch it and enjoy. I'll see yah soon!

P.S: My cousin and I have a rule regarding movies. You can tell everything about any movie, but don't tell the ending!! That's a crime among movie watchers..it's like stealing the fun from the person who haven't watched the film yet. :-)
