Apt Pupil (1998)

Proof once again that Steven King's short stories translate well

[9/10 · 3 December 1998]

As with "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Body," taken from the same book (Different Seasons), "Apt Pupil" once again proves that Steven King's short stories are ideal for the screen. Although not as true to the original storyline as the prior mentions, this movie maintains and possibly improves upon its disturbing edge. Powerful and not for lightweights, I will add this movie to my short list of those I'll see again and again.

Thunderheart (1992)

This film is a must see

[10/10 · 3 December 1998]

Maybe it's because this film followed in the shadow of "Dances With Wolves"-- or maybe it just wasn't marketed well-- but it's beyond me and all those I know who have seen it why this movie didn't do better in the theatres.

All the pieces are there: great actors (and acting), amazing characters, excellent cinematography, a believable, engrossing, and simply wonderful storyline, mystery, suspense, comedy. I did not want this movie to end! A well loved movie by many. Rent it now.
