Gary 'Jonesy' Jones: Fuck you.

Featured review
No pun intended - I think I had seen the movie before. But I do know I read the book, so maybe I am just mixing those two things up. Because (re)watching the movie ... I couldn't remember most of it ... if any. Mind you the CGI has dated quite badly. But the actors in this ... great cast! And it makes sense - this is a Stephen King movie/book, so everyone and their dog wants to be in it of course.
Flashbacks to what made our main characters the way they are (because this is not our reality, at least not one I am aware of, having people with abilities in it and all that). If you like horror movies, I reckon you could do worse. But if I remember correctly the book is better ... yeah I know that's almost always the case ... but I thought I mention it anyway.
