I went to see "Twilight Zone (the movie)" last night - it was
very good, probably one of the really good movies of the summer.
It reflects the style of the TV Show in very much the way that,
for example, Star Trek II: etc. reflected on its parent show.
It is composed of five vignettes, all of which are good, although
some are better than others.  Burgess Meredith's voice ties it all
together as Rod Serling's (sp?) once did (I hear he was "unavailable"
to do the movie).  There's lots of the macabre ("my sister had an 
accident..." mmph, mmph!) and lots of singularly american humor 
("want to see something *really* scary?").  If you were a fan of 
the show, you'll like the movie.

Just a comment: the last vignette is straight from one of the
shows, it originally starred William Shatner.  I didn't recognize
any of the others, and I was kind of disappointed that they didn't
use all new material for the movie.  Still, it came off pretty
well.

Rating: *** (*** + 0.5 for TZ fans, which I'm not particularly).
No gore, no sex, just some scary and lots of funny.  See it!
