i think the only work of stephen king that i actually enjoy be the shining . apparently and king cram all the idea of his previous novel into this steam pile of dung . we have the red fungus which remind me of the green plant growth from creepshow . the group of friend who all share some trauma a kid and and grow up and meet together every 20 year or so . remember it . telethapy and from the shining also ring a bell . ive never see a movie go in so many direction and end up nowhere and but dreamcatcher do just that . the big thing that i do not like about this movie be how it be write . they go great length to make visual and audible clue to the storyline and that be not need and not to mention incredibly cheesy . i know book be write a different grade level . this movie would be like at a 4th grade level . i do have some question and why do the alien talk with a poor british accent . if these friend be so telepathic and why would one have to answer a and and im not make this up and a ringing gun . then talk trough it like it be a telephone . morgan freeman and jason lee and and tom sizemore and what on earth be you think . boy and i would be fire your agent . of course this be just my opion . it may be wrong .
