Little Nicky vs. The Mist

Little Nicky is such a strange movie. Although I guess you could say that about the Mist as well (those who've seen it know what I mean). I remember Nicky made me laugh as a kid, not sure if it would hold up to a revisit. The Mist has an awkward beginning but once it gets rolling it really is great.

These two actually have more in common than it seems at first. They're both about the unleashing of Hell on Earth. One's accidental and the other's an attempt by the soon-to-be Curt Connors. I'm in the same boat as far as liking Nicky as a kid, but I don't find it nearly as funny now that I'm older. I'll stick to PDL and Happy Gilmore, as far as Sandler is concerned. The Mist wins this one, hands down. I'd heard it was good going in, but it exceeded my expectations. Awesome movie. And Jane needs more parts, 'cause the guy's underrated.

The Mist's awesome, Little Nicky's possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen.
