The Mist Movie Trailer
The trailer for the upcoming November 21st release called The Mist. A freak storm unleashes a species of blood-thirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole-up in a supermarket and fight for their lives.
Three-time Oscar®-nominee Frank Darabont (“The Green Mile,” “The Shawshank Redemption”) reunites with horror-master Stephen King to write and direct this chilling adaptation of the author’s original short story. Following a violent thunderstorm, artist David Drayton and a small town community come under vicious attack from creatures prowling in a thick and unnatural mist.
Local rumors point to an experiment called the ‘The Arrowhead Project’ conducted at a nearby top-secret military base, but questions as to the origins of the deadly vapor are secondary to the group’s overall chances for survival. Retreating to a local supermarket, Drayton and the survivors must face-off against each other before taking a united stand against an enemy they cannot even see!
Freedom Writers (Drama) 2007 Review
There is something to be said for a movie that exceeds your expectations despite its near-total lack of surprises. If you were anything like BE movie critic Jason Zingale, you saw the concept for “Freedom Writers” and said, “Hmmm, ‘Dead Poets Society of the Dangerous Minds’” (which is about seven words short of becoming a Panic! at the Disco song title, but that’s another subject). In truth, that sums up “Freedom Writers” almost exactly, but thanks to a sharp script and some finely tuned performances by both students and teacher, the movie rises above its more predictable trappings to deliver a solid tale about studentz in da hood. Or, more accurately, studentz from da hood schoolin’ in Wonder Bread Land.
Who's in It: Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn, Imelda Staunton, Patrick Dempsey, Mario, April Lee Hernandez
The Basics: Hollywood operates under the misinformation that there's a perpetual deficit in the movies where the earnest white teacher saves at-risk kids of color and teaches them to believe in themselves. So I had prescreening nightmares about this one. And really, who wouldn't think a movie like this would suck it from here to the Crab Nebula and back? And yet, it's surprisingly not awful.
What's the Deal? True stories turned into films, ones that stick to the truth no matter how dorky and corny that truth is, run the risk of being completely unbelievable. And the more lovey-dovey it gets, and the more you sit there and go, No way, the more it piles on the heartwarmth, daring you to call it a liar. But apparently, everything in this movie more or less happened the way they say it did, at least according to the press notes (which, you know, never lie), in which they quote the real-life teacher about how she turned her classroom into a little family. As a former middle-school teacher myself, I'm just envious that my own students remained resolute pains in the butt.
The Best Part: Because it's set in the early 1990s, you get to hear Swank talk about Tupac like the stiff honky she is. Then when she asks a student if he's "trippin'" you definitely want to hit rewind. But you can't because you're in a movie theater.
The Worst Part: She teaches the kids about the Holocaust, they read Anne Frank's diary, and then Miep Gies, the woman who hid the Franks, comes to the school. And I sat there thinking, "Oh cool, the real Miep Gies is going to be in this movie!" But then it was Pat Carroll, the actor, instead. I mean, sure, the real Gies is 97 now, but they could have digitally inserted her into the movie, right? OK, maybe not.
Shout-Out: I was surprised to see my friend Chil Kong show up as Convenience Store Owner With Shotgun. It's one of the weirder elements of living in Los Angeles when sometimes the movie gets upended because someone you know actually walks into the frame and takes you out of the fiction for a second.Freedom Writers DVD Review:
Let me just begin by saying that I absolutely hate when an actor records an audio commentary for a film they’ve never seen before. That’s the case with Hilary Swank on her commentary track with writer/director Richard LaGravenese for “Freedom Writers.” Recorded the morning before the world premiere, the commentary is dry and brief, as are the rest of the special features, including a collection of unnecessary deleted scenes and three featurettes on the film’s soundtrack (“Making a Dream”), production (“Freedom Writers Family”) and origin (“The Story Behind the Story”).
