Anybody see this? I'm always a little loathe to gush over an actor's performance in a movie because it comes off as much more important than it is, but I must. Tommy Lee Jones AND Samuel L. Jackson were fantastic in this. I mean nobody even got shot or blew up nothin' and I was rapt for the whole 90 minutes. You already knew TLJ acted good, but SLJ just continues to show if you put the right material in front of him he will knock it out the park.

I have to meet Cormac McCarthy someday. Steal something from him.

Ah, the latest Wes Craven film that came out last year didn't disappoint. Well, it wasn't good in the traditional sense, but I appreciated it for reasons you don't seek out in a horror movie.

The angst-riddled teenagers were actually engaging rather than obnoxious and annoying. I assumed it was just going to be a bunch of whiney kids I couldn't wait to see offed like every other post-pubescent-but-not-quite-an-adult-so-I-don't-know-where-I-fit-in-so-I'm-just-dumb-and-angry type of pseudo-horror film.

The teens actually had charm and I found myself caring about oft-confused am-I-or-am-I-not-a-mass-serial-killer Bug. The dialogue was witty and even the cruel kid Brandon was likeable. Everyone had reason to be what they were, save for the blind kid Jerome (I just knew there would be a reason for him to be blind- WRONG!)

I quickly figured out the killer after the opening scene with the Riverton Ripper getting shot up several times, but still managing to escape police custody. I expected a certain character to make a reprisal and I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong and right at the same time.

No doubt this movie will be forgotten just as quickly as it filters through whatever premium channel picks it up. You'll be up sometime at 3 am for no reason that makes sense, whatsoever and this'll be on some basic cable channel. Might as well watch while you're still awake.

One of my favorite sites is Listverse; they recently posted the Top 15 movies not on DVD...the Keep got mentioned. While nowhere near as good as the book, I did enjoy it in cheesy/fun sort of way.

I know Midnight Mass was made into a low budget (and painful) flick. What other FPW works were made into movies?

I can't believe nobody else is talking about this.

Or maybe they're talking in places I'm not.

This movie was AWESOME! For every child who grew up in the 1980s or later you need to see this immediately. Solely as a comedy, this SPVTW stands up well, but the video game-infused fight scenes were strangely a walk down memory lane.

My wife tuned out after the first fight scene and assumed I would too, but maaaaan was she wrong. Had I had more time I would have watched it several times. I may even buy it.

I just want to go on record that this movie looks dumb and boring. But I requested it for my wife.

My daughter and I both loved it. It features some of the more wonderfully unique animation I've ever seen and the story is good to boot. Aisling, the wood fairy, ranks as one my favorite cartoon characters of all time. I definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys animated movies and even those that don't.

And I'd say it's family friendly although there are a couple of intense moments.

It looks very interesting but the paperback price is about 12 dollars, which seems steep. I am almost tempted to download the Kindle app on my pc just to read it.

Afraid by Kilborn, who I think is Konrath as well sounds very cool as well. Even F. Paul Wilson gave a good blurb on the Amazon.com reviews that they list.

It won't get made if we don't support it!
