The Majestic (2001 Frank Darabont)

James Whitmore adds to the Shawshank connection, as do Darabont and Castle Rock, but unlike the earlier one, this goes on too long, fails to reach it's concluding act quickly enough. Also I kept thinking Jim Carrey was Tim Robbins. Nevertheless it's very enjoyable in the way of an old Capra, somehow. David Tatersall's cinematography is glowingly nostalgic and a real treat for the eyes.

With Laurie Holden, Martin Landau, David Ogden Stiers, Brent Briscoe, Jeffrey DeMunn, Gerry Black, Bob Balaban, Hal Holbrook, Susan Willis.
