Community Thoughts:  Posted By: Desi - January 25th, 2012 9:00:35 am EST I fell in love with Bag of Bones once I saw it. I also love Cujo it's just a classic! But Bag of Bones is my number 1. Posted By: StarGirl - January 15th, 2012 11:44:43 pm EST I was impressed! A lot better than people have made it out to be. I thought the flashback scenes were done with style (especially the fair); the acting is fairly good; loved the dream sequences; there have been some common sense changes (ie: Jo dies differently in the mini-series, probably to give it an more 'exterior' cinematic quality, as opposed to the literally insular death she got in the book - kind of how DePalma exteriorized Carrie's mother's death in his film); the score was good and so were the songs; production design and cinematography are top notch... My downside issues aren't with the Garris direction at all (I think he's hit his stride with this and his last Masters Of Horror effort), but with some script choices. Ie- things are a little spelled out too much in the end and in the last twenty minutes Prosnan has a tendency to 'speak out loud too much', but it's not too detrimental. It could still do with another edit, but all in all, thumbs up from me!

I understand that to do the book justice the mini-series would have had to be 8 hrs long, but so what. The hack job that came out of this was painful to watch and funny at times. The acting was pretty poor and the changes to the story were unnecessary in my opinion. Just a way to speed things along and make it more interesting for the people that haven't read the book. I should know better by now then to expect a tv/movie version of any book to be good, but I keep hoping and watching anyway. Lesson learned. Posted By: Tazzle - January 2nd, 2012 1:31:51 pm EST I am almost finished reading Bag of Bones and am loving it. I've read allot of your books and I enjoy every second. I have a problem..:( I was working when the tv miniseries was on. I wouldnt of dared watch it not having finished the book(that would of ruined everything) I feel, in most cases, that the book is always better than the movie. (not that the movies are not good) So I try to make sure I read the book first. I am a reader. Movies are not important to me, but I do watch occationally. This is one movie I do want to watch, but cant because I had to work:( Is there any way someone out there in this world can point me to where I might find This movie? I must have it. I am willing to purchase it. Any ideas?? I do love SK writing, and will feel like something is missing if I dont get to watch Bag Of Bones !! More Thoughts » |
