Dreamcatcher + The Final Flight of the Osiris

The Final Flight of the Osiris

Best computer animation of people, ever! I forgot it was animation while I was watching it... I'm totally pumped for Matrix Reloaded now...

Dreamcatcher

Stephen King + aliens =

IMO, There are still only two "great" movies to come from Stephen King stories... Anyone want to guess?

Huh. I received a decent review of Dreamcatcher from a friend. But, I also know better than to doubt your movie picks, Jay

As for the Stephen King movies that were good... I'll guess The Shining and Misery.

I saw Dreamcatcher opening weekend. I liked it. A different twist though since the last few King books I read dealt more with an evil phenomenon....like in "It" and "The Stand" I REALLY liked The Stand, and have that on DVD.

The animation at the beginning kicked ass. At first I thought we got into the wrong theater :o

Dreamcatcher was poop. I hated it. And I'll agree that Stephen King stories do not make good movies (typically). I think it's more due to direction and screen-play though... Personally, I think that the Shining and Green Mile were the best, although the Shining had some piss-poor actors/actresses (the old black dude was pretty bad, and the guys wife was horrid).

But seeing the Animatrix after the previews for Dreamcatcher was spiffy neato. Good call Kat.

Shit. I still haven't seen The Green Mile. Thanks for reminding me of a movie that should be my next video rental.

No love for Misery? I thought it was awesome.

Indeed. :coolguy:

Of course, Carrie, Misery and others can still be honorable mentions.
