Band of Brothers, Damien Lewis, and Stephen King's "The Mist"

We started watching Band of Brothers this weekend. I've seen it a couple times, but the Mrs has not at all. I am forcing her through all 10+ hours of World War II goodness and agony. I love all of the characters and whether or not the real life versions were anything like the portrayals does not matter to me. They're all heroes (the real lifers, not the actors) although....Damien Lewis is a great actor. Right now he's on a show called "Life" which I haven't checked out, but right after the whole Band of Brother buzz, Damien was in a movie called "Dream Catcher"...which incidentally is a Stephen King book. I remember going to this movie specifically because of Lewis and Jason Lee, who before his stardom in "My Name is Earl" I was a big fan of. Check out "Mumford". Anyway, the film was chock full of stars and had an interesting enough plot. I'm not usually a big "gore" fan and this wasn't really that kind of film, but had elements of face chomping aliens. I won't spoil the movie, but it was decent enough. So it turns out that Stephen King has a new movie out called "The Mist". I haven't heard much about it but King's creativity will surely transcend "The Lawnmower Man" disaster. I'm looking forward to see how the critics treat this new film and I will pass on my thoughts when I see it. Here's a link if you want to look into it more: The Mist by Stephen King
