8ft simpleton, on Death Row for the vicious murder of two little girls, seems to have supernatural powers which he uses for good while awaiting his execution... Yea-aaa hargh haraaargh!

It refers to the colour of the prison floor. Those being executed have to walk the green mile to the execution room.

"Those brown fly-type bugs coming out of Coffe's mouth were sort of scary, agreed, but just imagine how scarier it would have been to see those long-legged-flies-that-like-to-hover-round-light-bulbs come out? I shudder to even think about it. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhh! let me out of my mind!"

"I was uneasy until the very last frame in this movie, imagining the inevitable blood and giblet fest that is Stephen King Horror. Imagine my relief when the main man simply electrocuted to death... Bravisimo, not a spark or a blood curdle in sight."

"A stunning performance by Sam Rockwell who played 'Wild Bill' Wharton. Hilariously mad from start to finish."

"Am I the only one who would like to see Michael Clarke Duncan (who plays John Coffe) play alongside Verne Troyer (Mini Me)? My mouth is dripping with anticipation. It's got Twins remake written all over it."

"I have always liked Tom Hanks, even during those pap fests Splash and Bachelor Party many years before. My, how we have watched our man excel! This is one of his more comforting movies in spite of the moment when he allows a man to evaporate to death in the electric chair. It's just something else I will have to remember next time I pull a plug out of the wall in my bathrobe."

"Never has a urinary infection been so well depicted on the big screen. Eeeeeoooowwwwwwwccchhh!"

"Try as I might I could not find the name of the mouse-actor who played Mr Jangles. This is a terrible oversight."

John Coffe uses his powers to remove Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) urinary infection, the brain tumor in the wife of Warden Hal Moores (James Cromwell), he projectile-vomits some flies into the mouth of Percy Wetmore (Doug Hutchison) - the crayzee warden - who then shoots dead 'Wild Bill' Wharton (Sam Rockwell).

John Coffe is executed to budget and on time.

The twist in the tale is that the old man in the old people's home is 104 year old Paul Edgecomb who seems to have been given a longer life because of his touching John Coffe... He goes out to feed Mr Jangles, the mouse, from the prison days... who in mouse years must be something like 800 by now...

Tom Hanks as a chief executioner? Dear reader, I may now have seen everything...

An entertaining movie, thankfully without any blood and giblets, although one of the executees does get a bloody good frying in the chair - a brain roasting doomed to set off smoke detectors in houses over five miles away.

The strange thing about this movie is that, in spite of its subject matter, it leaves one feeling good inside.

One is even tempted to say that this is as close to a feel good movie as prison execute-a-thons get. Even if an assured comedic triumph of electrocuting Wild Bill was missed.

A remarkable performance by Sam Rockwell as Wild Bill Wharton and satisfactory performances by everyone else and a Stephen King plot which doesn't go too far off the believable.

Dry toast. Sugar mouse.

Mr Jangles is a cute little mouse who does tricks. However, if you are unable to abide mice, especially watching them run across someone's shoulders hand-to-hand, then perhaps give this movie a miss.

The main man is 8ft tall and so you are well advised to be scared. Run for the hills.

Dry toast lovers are well catered for in this movie. Mr Jangles, the rodent star, is seen enjoying his favored bread-fare throughout the movie, sometimes with his little hands holding the crumbs to his mouth as he sits up on his back legs... Aaahhh!

Sorry to disappoint you. Fred Astair plays a pivotal role in this movie in all his black and white glory.

A really nice movie with some memorable performances, and situations. Whilst there are moments of electric-chair-frying-up-of-people, the effects are well done and it's a nice feel good ending.

Not recommended for mouse haters however - ensure a chair is on hand at all times for them to stand on, especially for elephants.
