The Mist (2007)
Endings matter
As a fan of the original story, I was glad the movie kept pace with the building tension and eventual climax. Unfortunately, having the survivors of such an ordeal simply run out of gas and decide to give up? Sorry, but even without the parent taking their child's life, it was just too much of a cop out. If they were being attacked as they ran out of gas and the only option left to them was to die by their own hand or that of the creatures, I would have accepted their actions. No, this was just not a worthy ending to such a great tale of survival and overcoming adversity. In order to make a story like this memorable and recommended, you need to make the end something worthwhile, and unfortunately I will always see this as a movie which could have been much better.
The Crow: Stairway to Heaven (1998)
Should have replaced the movie sequels
(Spoiler alert!)
I was not excited when I learned of the show coming to television, but after they closed off the initial story arc and continued with new material, it took off and had the potential to be a great series. Separating The Crow as an alternate entity was brilliant and having Shelly remaining on the bridge to the afterworld held the original premise of the show.
Also, Demascos was terrific as Eric. He maintained the look Branden Lee originated, and also made the martial arts natural and well-integrated into the action sequences.
I only wish the series would get released in DVD so I could see the episodes again.
