Stephen King's Bag of Bones (2011)

A writer is haunted by visions of his late wife and the mystery surrounding a lake house in this made-for-TV adaptation. Pierce Brosnan seems oddly out of place in this type of movie, but I warmed up to him by the second half. It's not terribly well-done, but it's okay. Yeah, that's the best you're going to get out of me. "It was okay."

    Sometimes King's work is better suited to the made for TV format, especially if it's in more than one part. I'd give this a try.
    I'm still sad about The Dark Tower being cancelled, I'd like to have seen the first book filmed.
    I picked up Needful Things a few days ago.
    That's all my King news for today. :p

    I saw a bit of this on the TVs...it was terrible.

    Being one of my favorite King books I shut it off after about 15 minutes.

    Poop. :(
