Erin's Pick: The Green Mile

Continuing with the Tom Hanks theme we decided to watch The Green Mile. Normally we all have a pretty similar opinion of the movies we watch but this one threw us off a bit. I wasn't a huge fan. It seemed like it had a lot of potential but I didn't think the story came together at the end. It also could have had to do with the fact that my rodent-phobia was provoked to the max by this session of film club.... didn't exactly set the stage for an enjoyable movie experience. First of all, this character was featured in almost every scene of the movie:

And second of all, a REAL LIVE mouse decided to run through the living room half way through the movie. And it's just not as comfortable to watch 2 hours of a movie standing on the arm of a sofa... call me crazy.
