One modern horror and one 1970s comedy:
The Mist based on a Stephen King story. Quiet a solid horror film. The characters spend most of the movie trapped in a small town supermarket by the mist and what is inside the mist, which led my to ponder that there are worst places to be trapped than a modern supermarket . . . Good exploration of group psychology and madness. Solid special effects. But the movie runs about ten minutes too long and the additional time weakens the entire movie. My Grade: C+
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother, Gene Wilder directed, wrote and starred in this comedy. Wilder plays Sigerson Holmes, Sherlock's underappreciated brother. It has some funny bits, and I was reminded how funny Marty Feldman can be, but is very uneven overall. My Grade: C-
