(S08E14) File this one under be careful what you wish for ... I feel like Rod Serling writing that, but there was a bit of a Twilight Zone feel to this episode of Monk .

It's a hell of a show to take cues from In certain eyes, the impending release of The Box, the third film from the still more-or-less boyish Richard Kelly, will be notable mostly as a trial by public opinion for its creator. This is, after all, quite the crossroads for a...
