Movie Reviews of Stand By Me (Special Edition)
Movie Review: "Stand by Me"--a must-see!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the DVD of the movie, "Stand By Me". I had seen this movie in the theater, back in the '80s, with my sister, Eva Cassidy---the wonderful singer who died in 1996 from cancer......
Eva and I LOVED this movie, and us watching it together in the theater is a wonderful memory I will have forever.......
This movie delves deeply into the hearts, minds, and souls of these youngsters. It is at times funny, and then heart-breaking, and most people who watch this movie will recall their own childhoods.
This movie is one you will want to watch again and again, which is why I bought the DVD in the first place!
This movie was directed by Rob Reiner, and was based on a story by Stephen King--need I say more?!!!
Buy this for yourself--you will not be disappointed!
Summary of Stand By Me (Special Edition)

Special features: subtitles in english french spanish portugues chinese korean and thai and much more. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/27/2007 Starring: Wil Wheaton Corey Feldman Run time: 89 minutes Rating: R Director: Rob ReinerA sleeper hit when released in 1986, Stand by Me is based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (from the book Different Seasons); but it's more about the joys and pains of boyhood friendship than a morbid fascination with corpses. It's about four boys ages 12 and 13 (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell) who take an overnight hike through the woods near their Oregon town to find the body of a boy who's been missing for days. Their journey includes a variety of scary adventures (including a ferocious junkyard dog, a swamp full of leeches, and a treacherous leap from a train trestle), but it's also a time for personal revelations, quiet interludes, and the raucous comradeship of best friends. Set in the 1950s, the movie indulges an overabundance of anachronistic profanity and a kind of idealistic, golden-toned nostalgia (it's told in flashback as a story written by Wheaton's character as an adult, played by Richard Dreyfuss). But it's delightfully entertaining from start to finish, thanks to the rapport among its young cast members and the timeless, universal themes of friendship, family, and the building of character and self-esteem. Kiefer Sutherland makes a memorable teenage villain, and look closely for John Cusack in a flashback scene as Wheaton's now-deceased and dearly missed brother. A genuine crowd-pleaser, this heartfelt movie led director Rob Reiner to even greater success with his next film, The Princess Bride. --Jeff Shannon
