***Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me were both good. ***
I have never seen any of his at the movies, only on Tv.
The “Children of the Corn” was as waste of time.
“It” was so bad I can’t describe it.
His TV version of “The Shining” was horrible, not like the version with Jack Nickolson.
He hasn’t produced anything worth watching since “Creepshow” when he said those famous words which probably showed his real intelligence, “That’s a met-e-er!”
Interestingly The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me were both novellas. I didn’t like The Shining or Pet Sematary. I haven’t bothered to see anything else. The reason that most of King’s books, especially the later ones, don’t translate well into movies is that a lot of them depend on seeing things from the character’s point of view and his interior mental dialogue. That’s not easy to do in a movie. How can you see what a person is thinking? Because of this the hysterically funny aspects of his stories don’t get transferred to the screen. I think The Talisman will probably turn out to be a good film or miniseries.
