Stephen King's new movie The Mist

My favorite Stephen King movie/novel is Dolores Claiborne. I watched the movie first and then read the book. That is the only way to do it. The books are almost always better than the movies. So if you watch the movie and then read the book you won’t be disappointed.

Dolores Claiborne is about a young girl that goes home to Maine when her mother is accused of murder. There are many secrets, and many reasons why this young lady wants to settle the matter and get back to her life as soon as possible. I don’t want to give away too much of the movie. The detective that is working on the case is very interested in learning how Dolores’ husband died several years earlier, and opens a can of worms that the daughter would like to keep closed and hidden forever.

Now Stephen King is releasing another movie The Mist. You can view the trailer for The Mist by Stephen King here. Scary movies are not usually high on my list of “must see movies”. The Mist looks like it would scare the CRAP out of me. I have seen the “fog” roll in like that here in NH and it is just too real. As with all Stephen King movies this movie will be a huge hit at the box office. I encourage you to visit the site and view the trailer. You might want to get your Depends on before you do. This is one scary movie.

I noticed that this movie has the same screenwriter and director as Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile. Both of those movies are in my DVD collection and are watched quite often in this house.
