Pros: Horror in the everyday, consistent with Stephen King's style Cons: Not quite surreal enough in parts, older picture and sound
Fame and fortune, adoring fans, an easy existence free of financial care...sounds like the "Great American Dream" for sure. This is the life that author Paul Sheldon (James Caan) enjoys thanks to the success of his series of books about Misery, his ...
Gripping character-based thriller with fine performances and formal elements.
Cons: The tacked-on ending and some overdone directorial touches.

Pros: Acting, Story, Suspense Cons: No Kathy Bates bikini scenes
As a longtime fan of Stephen King novels, I have sometimes been a bit disappointed,by how his work has translated to the movie screen. While there are a few notable exceptions to this, such as The Stand and IT, there have also been a ...
Pros: Kathy Bates' Oscar-winning performance; a great script by William Goldman Cons: None.
Considering the almost unprecedented success of Stephen King's novels over the past three decades, it's not too surprising to note how often King's works delve into the lives of writers or how the creative process works....or doesn't. Sometimes, the ...
Misery is one of my favorite books of all time, and after watching the movie, I was very disappointed. Stephen King has to be the one of the only authors around that can make a where almost the whole book takes place in one room is one of the most tense ...
They’ve been showing Misery on cable a lot lately so I wanted to review it, even though it’s an old movie. I’ve read several of Steven King’s books, and I think he is a great author with a great story telling voice. Indeed, it is what’s made ...
Pros: Bates, Bates, Bates
Really memorable lines in this script. Cons: Hitchcockian, it's not...Reiner could have done better.
Spoiler Abound! THE KING THING I’m a fan of Stephen King’s insofar as he writes real-life terror. Most of his novels are otherwordly, and, with the exception of the apocalyptic “The Stand”….I’m not really a fan. I ...
Pros: An excellent story and some Academy Award winning acting! Cons: Jack Nicholson didn't take the part.
Annie Wilkes: I am your number one fan. There is nothing to worry about. You are going to be just fine. I am your number one fan. Misery (1990) Directed by Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men) James Caan as Paul Sheldon Kathy Bates as ...
Pros: Acting, picture, writing, suspense, directing Cons: A little predictable
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS I first came upon this ery but good movie during midnight on TNT not too long ago. As you may know, Misery is a novel written by Stephen King even though I have never read the novel I found his movie very ...
Pros: excellent acting and well paced. Good ending Cons: not as horrifying as the book, but the movies rarely are.
This celluloid recreation of Stephen King's Misery is an excellent depiction of an insane ex-nurse named Annie and her one in a million chance of meeting her number one writer. When author Paul Sheldon's car takes a nasty dive off the road he is miracu ...
Pros: Kathy Bates' and James Caan's performance Cons: Writer William Goldman missed the book's point totally
Thank goodness, I read the book first! Stephen King writes a thrilling story about an author who's car crashes and his legs break and he gets some other nice bloody wounds. A woman (who, according to King, stinks) comes and helps the author, Paul, under...
Pros: EVERYTHING!!! Cons: RU Kidding? This Film Is Nothing Short Of Perfect!
Movie Review: Misery
Overall Grade: A+
Plot: Paul Sheldon is the famous and gifted author of the bell-selling Misery novels. Paul has just written what he has claimed to be his final chapter of the Misery book, and is coming...
Misery is a wonderful and suspenseful film which stars James Caan and Kathy Bates. If you don’t know what Misery is about let me tell you. Misery is about an author named Paul Sheldon. Paul writes this fictional books called the Misery books. Well one...
Stephen King is an amazing weaver of tales. He can take the most mundane item and turn it into an item of terror with a few finely penned words. He is also one of the most prolific writers that can string together a mean set of adjectives that...
Pros: Chilling performances; stylized direction; able script. Cons: Frances Sternhagen; use of the obvious.
Stephen King is pretty much a frowned-upon name nowadays. People heavily into literature (hmm hmm… I’m sure I could name names, but why?) think of him as best-seller fodder. People who barely read think his stuff is too heavy (I kid you not). That’s...
