Misery

Last night I watched the movie Misery after finishing the book only three days ago. The movie was really good, but the book was much better. Although the movie did do the book justice, there were some minor changes that I feel made the movie a little less intense and unforgettable. Kathy Bates was a fantastic Annie Wilkes, her performance is frighteningly believable. So I would definitely recommend this movie, but if you have enough time on your hands, read the book. It's much better.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you don't mind movies with mild torture scenes, and you don't mind it when movies that are based on books change the story of the book a little bit

The Shining

I just finished rewatching this movie for the third time. This is definitely one of my favorite horror movies. It's a pretty scary movie. The one annoying thing I found about this movie after watching it for the first time was that there were some parts that were unexplained. After reading the book and watching the mini-series, I think I can say that I know most everything there is to know about the story of The Shining. As far as which one is better, I would have to say that this movie and the book tie for first. Anyway, I would recommend this movie to any horror movie fan.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you enjoy horror movies, you don't mind movies that have some confusing/unexplained parts, and you don't mind movies that are a little strange

The Tin Star

Last night I saw the old western, The Tin Star. Now, I'm not that big of a western fan. For some reason I'll watch any type of movie except a western. Something about them bothers me. But anyway, I thought that this movie was pretty good (for a western). I really like both Anthony Perkins and Henry Fonda. They were both really good in this movie. So, if you like westerns, you'll probably really enjoy this. 

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you enjoy westerns, and you don't mind movies that are a little slow
