Movie review - "Twilight Zone The Movie" (1983) **1/2

 A film totally overshadowed by the accident, which is fair enough, people died (though more people die on films than you might think).

Interesting people constantly pop up in the cast - Steven Williams from Jump Street, John Larroquette as a Klan member, 

The Landis segment is in the spirit of the show - heavy handed but effective, and Vic Morrow is very good. The Spielberg one isn't very good - he does his tricks, it's just meh. Joe Dante's with the powerful kid is better, even if Kathleen Quinland seems a little bored. The George Miller segment is, as commonly agreed, the best, helped with the strongest story, John Lithgow going for it, and high stakes.
