The Green Mile Review |
by Steve Kong |
Just when I thought Hollywood was on a slide down into mediocrity, I see a
great film like The Green Mile that proves that there are still good movies
that come out of Hollywood. Lately, it seems that the good movies are the
ones that come from...more |

She asked me what kind of movies I liked, and I couldn't answer. "All

guy who would drag her to Jean Claude Van...more |

by Jerry Saravia |
The Stephen King books that usually adapt well to the screen are the
melodramas. Sure, in terms of horror, we have had "Carrie" and "The Dead Zone,"
yet often they are so ludicrous ("Maximum Overdrive") and badly shaped that
they come across as pale...more |

The last time director Frank Darabont tackled a story by
Stephen King, the result was 1994's "The Shawshank Redemption," a
glorious emotional rollercoaster of a movie that never got its due at

The infamous Last Mile is chockful of the supernatural and metaphysical

Allow me to point out one thing which some people in Hollywood seem to have
forgotten. In order for a movie to be an Oscar contender, it doesn't have to be
over three hours long. This is, in fact, one of those rare cases where one is
happy that parts of...more |

There is an underlying theme that runs through "The
Green Mile," which I think rings hauntingly true. And
that message is this: Although love and brotherhood
are the pillars of society, evil constantly chips away
at its foundation. Those who try to...more |

Of my six years of attending press screenings, the film that has
