Pros: Dead on casting, well crafted tale... Cons: Painful scene of hobbling, and murder
Misery is a well crafted tale of horror and suspense, describing
the rescue of romance-author Paul Sheldon (James Caan), by his
self-described "biggest fan". Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) is well
cast as the deluded follower of...

If you are considering becoming a novelist, this is a film that might give you second thoughts about that. This movie begins with award winning novelist Paul Sheldon, having an accident where his car rolls off a cliff, and he is trapped inside his...
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: excellent acting, exciting plot Cons: not good for children
Let me start by saying that I very rarely like a movie better than the book, regardless of who the author is. This is especially true with Stephen King's writing. King is such a thorough author.. he describes the most horrific scenes in bone-chilling...
Over the years I have probably watched Misery at least 15 times. Most suspense thrillers are not subject to such repetitive attention but Misery is different. No matter how many times I watch it I still love Kathy Bate's character, Annie. Then when...
Pros: Terrific acting from Caan and Bates. Cons: None I can think of.
I originally watched this movie because my mother had said how good it was. I normally trust my mother's opinion! And once again, mother knows best, because I was hugely impressed the first time I watched it. It is an interesting plot, as far as Stephen...
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 ...
I'd seen it two or three times already, yet I felt as if I'd just 'discovered' Misery when I watched it on DVD last night. (It's easy to take subtext for granted in so efficient a pulp thriller.) Lauren Bacall delivers the line that did it for me very...

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...
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: An excellent story and some Academy Award winning acting! Cons: Jack Nicholson didn't take the part.
