I've been digging ditches most of the week so I decided to veg today and watch my recently obtained stack of Stephen King movies.

Some are surprisingly good, like the stand and creep show. Even if they are a bit campy. Others that were scary when I was a kid, like the children of the corn and pet cemetery are total crap. Armed teenagers are not scary to me (I'm not afraid to bring the pain to teens with knives. I've convinced a few in my time that pulling a knife or me is a good way to get your arm broken) and not putting up a fence against a busy road when you have a toddler is just plain retarded. There is no suspense for either of those movies for me, because if the characters had more realistic values nothing would have happened. I'm also reminded who Mr. King did not want his name on the lawnmower man. I like the movie, but its really not him.

I'm gonna watch firestasrter and christine before I give in for the day. I remember them being good.
