Movie Reviews of Hearts in Atlantis
Movie Review: Haunting
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie sticks in my mind. There's no real plot, but I like the characters. Sometimes it's hard to remember that it came from a story by Stephen King, but it does have that same rich attention to details from the past that's always been a part of his work. Anthony Hopkins is, of course, wonderful, and so is Anton Yelchin. To be honest, it's not my favorite movie, but I find it haunting enough that I had to buy it.
Summary of Hearts in Atlantis
An extraordinary journey of the heat. An 11-year-old boy discovers a courage and self-reliance he didnt know he had when he tries to help a friendly boarder with unique powers elude equally mysterious agents pursuing him. Special features: subtitles in english and french and much more. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Anthony Hopkins David Morse Run time: 101 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Scott HicksFans of The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption will feel a similar affection for Hearts in Atlantis, a Stephen King adaptation that again finds the horror writer in more mainstream waters, with a bit of dabbling in the supernatural. When mysterious out-of-towner Ted Brautigan (Anthony Hopkins) moves into the boarding house that 11-year-old Bobby Garfield (Anton Yelchin) shares with his self-involved mother (Hope Davis), Bobby jumps at the chance to befriend an adult who talks to him straightforwardly. Ted enlists Bobby to read him the newspaper daily--and to keep an eye out for the "low men" bent on capturing Ted, who possesses a strange mind-reading power. Hopkins is in fine form, ably matched by the phenomenal young Yelchin, but director Scott Hicks (Shine) more often than not flattens out the dramatic arcs of the story, despite all the intriguing turns the film takes. Thankfully, though, the schmaltz factor is kept to a minimum, making Hearts in Atlantis a heartfelt coming-of-age drama. --Mark Englehart
