        <title>1408 — Old-School Stephen King Frightfest</title>

        <description>After the likes of CHRISTINE, THE SHINING and MISERY, all of us hardcore Stephen King fans became Pavlov&amp;rsquo;s slobbering puppies whenever SK&amp;rsquo;s name was attached to anything. It could have been a TV show; it could have been a commercial; it could have been toilet paper for heck&amp;rsquo;s sake, we were hooked. But, then came the downward spiral that included some truly apocalyptic stinkers (none of which will be listed here &amp;lsquo;cos y&amp;rsquo;all know &amp;lsquo;em) and we bowed our heads and wept acrid, bitter tears.

The drought was long and hard and sent most of us scuttling for the comfort of our worn and dog-eared paperback copies of&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Apt Pupil,&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Needful Things&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;The Dark Tower&amp;rdquo; series.

&amp;mdash; pause &amp;mdash;

Then came 1408. 

&amp;mdash; pause again &amp;mdash;

Holy moly.

&amp;mdash; last pause &amp;mdash;

As I type this missive, a tottering hardback tower of SK teeters on the verge of oblivion at the edge of my desk.</description>

            <description>Oh goodie, another Stephen King movie.  Are we done with him yet?  If this guy writes his grocery list on the back of an envelope they'll make a movie out of it.</description>

            <description>But it'll be a good grocery list :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love Stephen King books.  Movies, however, not so much.  Though I have heard that 1408 is awesome</description>

            <description>King is the BEST, I own every book he wrote, including Bachman books. The only writer who came close was Clive Barker, but even he got left in the dust. I am so waiting for this movie!! I was devastated when he announced his retirement from writing, but he came back just as strong as ever.  I have fun looking for his little cameos in the movies, he also has a sense of humor. And his books transend easily into movies.</description>

            <description>scarry scarry movie.This guy thought he was a toughy, but when it came right down to it, it was like put me back in!!  No wonder everyone was dying to jump out of the window!! I love scary movies, and when I see one like this, I actually sleep better at night, knowing just how normal my life is!!The only thing I was concerned about in this movie, was what was reality, and what was an illusion?? Was it all from a real bad place, or from really bad wine??Or did all the talk about the room bring out something in him he never knew he had packed away back in his subconscious!! Then there's the matter of the tape at the end. I'm still working on that one!! Something just doesn't add up!! Hey I give it an 8 for originallity!!</description>
