THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

The Green Mile, 1999





Director: Frank Darabont
Stars: Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Morse, Bonnie Hunt






Paul Edgecomb (Hanks) is a prison guard who works with prisoners who are on death row. This film is about him and his coworkers and how their lives change dramatically when a new prisoner comes to death row. The prisoner, John Coffey (Duncan), soon proves to have strange and mysterious powers.

This is a prison movie, so be warned: it's not exactly pleasant. And it has plenty of disturbing happenings. It's not too bad, I just wish that it had been the power of GOD that was given the credit. You could look at it like that, but it doesn't really seem like they want to convey it. Or maybe they did, and I missed it.
