Doh, you bought the 2 disc SE right?

The b/w version gives the whole experience a feel of a very realistic 50s-60s monster movie. You ll love it!

I was told this was the way Darabont wanted the movie to be made...and I dare say, if this would ve been the final theatrical version, it would have blown the box office!

are you sure. most people won't touch a BW movie with a ten foot pole. it denotes that it's old and boring to most teens and teens take up a huge chunk of movie viewers.

I'm watching it now.... I'm not sure which version I like better though. The color definitely gives that awesome mysterious feeling when people disappear into the mist and stuff... but the b&w version has such an amazing look to it, the way the mist LITERALLY just TAKES over everything it touches.... perfection.

The Ruins - enjoyed this one. I pretty much agree with what Rod said earlier. I haven't read the book, but the wife has and said it was a faithful adaptation. Nice amount of blood and a few damn creepy moments. And yeah, Jenna Malone is a plus...

7/10

The Ruins – Good, scary, intense. But, something that nagged at me during the movie: why do we sympathize with the main characters? Their attempts to escape are clearly wrong and dangerous.

Q - The Winged Serpent

Love this larry cohen film.

Michael Moriarity give a performance that transcends the genre - in any other movie he'd have won (or at least deserved) an oscar.

David Carradine did a fun job as well (despite his not wanting to do the picture)

DeathWish 2

this movie was cold!.
as good as the first if you ask me. deserves way more recognition than it gets.

DeathWish 4
Bronson goes from a Vigilante to an assassin. this was fun, but paled in comparison to the first 2.

LOVED Michael Moriarity in that one, really was an incredible performance...just a damn fun movie all around. I really should check out more Larry Cohen stuff.
