Haven't seen the New Salem's Lot but The Shining series is good it was made off of Stephen King's Teleplay and directed by Mick Garris who directed (The Stand, Sleepwalkers, Critters 2 Psycho IV as well as creating Masters Of Horror).
It is Stephen Kings Preferred version and the whole idea came about because of his Dissatisfaction with Kubrick's Version And Nicholson as the choice of Jack.

Well think I shall watch shining after the stand sounds a lot closer to the book than the movie was- dont get me wrong I love the film, but apart from characters and the hotel it has very different than the book was

Yes your spot on it is a lot more like the book than the film (the film is very good but it isn't what king had in mind).

Today I watched
Pieces
Slaughter High
It made me smile that in an office near the Beginning of Slaughter High there is a
Pieces poster on the wall.

I watched it with my brother who said the film was 'pointless' and really didn't like it so it might be a Marmite movie.

I would say its a marmite movie, as I quite liked it, but felt that it had been advertised falsely like an action movie, where as my brother flat out hated it

Argo. Thought there was going to be lots of action in this film. Sadly disappointed, but the film is good and does get intense at times. Wouldn't have nominated it for an oscar though

Street Trash

Love it to bits, faults n' all. Gonna have to do a poster for it at some point. Hope Roy Frumkes is holding back on the 40-odd minutes of deleted scenes for a future BD release It's all that's missing from the superb Synapse Meltdown Edition . . .

I mean...it's a bit tedious!

I knew it wasn't a 'monster movie' and was expecting it to be 'thinky' but I was still very bored by it - it's the epitome of an over-rated film, in my opinion.
