1408 - Cusack in a Stephen King movie with Sam Jackson

[abcdefz]

...this looks kinda promising. (http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1549571&sdm=web&qtw=480&qth=300)

It's about time they made an actually good Stephen King movie... not counting The Shining.

[abcdefz]

Stand by Me, The Dead Zone, The Shining... ummm....

I couldn't stand Misery. The Green Mile was okay. Shawshank Redemption is okay. Apt Pupil is meh. Hearts in Atlantis was limp as hell. And there's a ton of 'em I never saw... Christine, Maximum Overdrive, Children of the Corn, Needful Things...

[Auton]

Shawshank Redemption is okay.

muuuhhh??????

[Yorkshire~Rose]

muuuhhh??????

I have to agree with a-z on Shawshank. Yeah, it's a good movie but it's not that good. I don't know why people get so worked up over it.
It's not even in my top 10, should you care. Which i doubt you do. :)

I couldn't get the trailer to load for some reason but the obsessive that i am i will watch anything with John Cusack in it. :o

As for other SK films - i enjoyed The Shining, 'Salems Lot and Christine.

A-Z - Why don't you like Misery? I really liked it.

[abcdefz]

I hated the way Reiner directed it. Her madness is so telegraphed and over-the-top right from the get-go that there's no suspense except for the hobbling scene.

The book was a disappointment, too. One of King's very best premises and he misfired.

[HEIRESS]

this new one is from one of his short stories but I cant remember which collection...

The Langoliers is awesome
I dont care what anyone says
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112040/

and fuck it, I liked the green mile", I dont care

WTF YOU HAVENT SEEN CHILDREN OF THE CORN A-Z!

:rolleyes:

What are they on -- 8 or 9 by now?

[abcdefz]

Oh, wait -- Deloris Clairborn was all right.

[HEIRESS]

ohhhh dont pull that "sequels suck" bullcrap on me

the original is worth taking a look at

[abcdefz]

the original is worth taking a look at




SERIOUSLY?

[Yorkshire~Rose]

OMG Heiress - I saw The Langoliers recently. I was hooked! They were like mothballs with teeth!

It truly defined a film that is so crap it was great!

[HEIRESS]

its not fantasmical, and perhaps its not a top 10 contender in the 80s horror movie genre but its a tough crowd!

EXACTLY

it was entertaining cinema, I cant deny it.

[TAL]

The Langoliers was great until the lame cgi "monsters" at the end.

[abcdefz]

...which now brings us to Dreamcatcher.

God, what a mess that was.

[HEIRESS]

when they tried to recreate all the scenes that occur in the one dudes "head" I was ready to barf all over the screen

its just not a book that should have been made into a movie, at all at all

[adam_f]

Meh, Donnie Wahlberg played a good retard.

[ericlee]

Stand by Me

You mean the Stand, right? That's a movie I've only seen once and need to see again. From when I remember of it, I liked it.

[ericlee]

The Langoliers was great until the lame cgi "monsters" at the end.

Thank you. I couldn't watch it any longer once those things came on. They we so damn cheesy and just ruined the movie.

[Knuckles]

You mean the Stand, right?
Stand By Me is a King story. It's a novella that's in Different Seasons.

oh it's not anywhere my top ten either :) , but i still think it's 4 1/2 - 5 star movie.

Hmm, cool. So that'll be 2 movies from Steven King that John Cusack will star in. I saw the preview just now for 1408 and it seems like it'll deliver the fright.

I like a few Stephen King movies. Sometimes they come back was decent as well.

[HEIRESS]

Meh, Donnie Wahlberg played a good retard.

only good thing about that movie being made is that for 6 months afterwards my brother and his friend's greeting to each other was them raising their arms and screaming "DUDITZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

Yeah. I think it was called "The Body," wasn't it?

"Apt Pupil" and "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" come from that book, too.

Good memory! Hell, I'd forgotten that.
