If you missed last night’s episodes, they’re on tonight. However, I would consult your satellite guide rather than the TNT website because there seems to be a confusion in the show’s time. If I hadn’t tried to set a reminder on my TV at 5:30, I would have missed the show, which wound up starting at 6pm instead of 9pm.

That rant aside, I’ll tell you what I thought about the premiere episodes. Battleground was interesting in that there was no dialogue at all from Jason Renshaw (William Hurt). I’m going to have to lug out my copy of Nightmares & Dreamscapes to see if the guy shouted at his nemiseses. Hurt grunted a lot and let out one war cry. That grew tiring real fast.

Crouch Inn was better. The story is about a newly married couple who finds themselves lost in the worst part of England. The acting seemed contrived, and the monster near the end didn’t impress me. The cinematography was good, though.

The thing about Stephen King movies is that they are great (The Shining-original) or they suck (Maximum Overdrive). I’m not going to say that Nightmares & Dreamscapes is terrible, but it definitely got off to a weak start. I’ll commit myself to two more segments in the hopes that each show gets better.
