Movie Reviews of Stephen King's Cat's Eye
Movie Review: Cat Tales...
Summary: 5 Stars
Another great anthology from Stephen King (Creepshow)! This time out we get 3 dark stories of the bizarre, all tied together by a cat that's trying to get from NYC to North Carolina to save a girl in distress. QUITTERS INC. is about a poor schmuck (James Woods) who is convinced by a friend to try a new cigarette smoking termination program. What he doesn't know is that the founder was a mafia-type, and that mob tactics are used in order to make people quit their nasty habit! Alan King is perfect as the guy who will utilize any / all methods of persuasion at his disposal to keep his clients honest; including abduction, torture, and bodily mutilation! Next is THE LEDGE, about a washed up tennis pro (Robert Hays) who is given a deadly ultimatum by the mob boss who's tired of him sleeping with his wife. He can either get busted for the heroin that's been planted in the trunk of his car, or walk all the way around the outside of the building on the five inch ledge that's about a hundred feet above the ground! This is an excellent story of twisty revenge. Finally, we have the third segment with a young Drew Barrymore (E.T., Firestarter) as a little girl who has an evil troll living in her bedroom wall. In this one the cat emerges as the hero. Candy Clark (American Graffiti) is exasperating as the mom who thinks the kitty is up to no good and almost keeps it from saving her daughter's life! CAT'S EYE is well done and well worth owning...Movie Review: Great horror trilogy from the master of terror!
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen King ( whom wrote the screenplay for this movie) brings you three terrifying tales of horror done in the "Creepshow" style as told from the eyes of a traveling stray cat. The first story " Quitters Inc." is about a family man ( James Woods) who just can't stop smoking as he signs up for a program called "Quitters Inc." which secretly monitors his smoking habit, the next tale is in Atlantic city called " The Ledge" which a tennis player makes a bet with a boss to walk a hotel ledge. Then finally our title cat in " The General" must protect a young girl ( Drew Barrymore)from an evil goblin who wants her soul.Entertaining and well-made collection of comic-book stories with Hitchcock-esque and Twilight Zone-esque tones to them. Good acting and some good special effects for it's time especially the goblin make this worth watching.
Highly recommended if you enjoy the works of Stephen King, Creepshow 1 & 2 and Tales from The Darkside: The Movie.
P.S.: Look for cameo's by Stephen King's other famous characters like " Cujo" and "Christine".
Movie Review: Delicious Stephen King - meow
Summary: 5 Stars
This highly entertaining film presents three interwoven stories centered around a cat and a child. If you are a Stephen King fan, you will love Cat's Eye. If you aren't, I still think you will love it. Along with the movie Maximum Overdrive, it is my favorite Stephen King based movie.
Don't miss this well directed and acted film. You will laugh, gasp, and be totally entertained. A great film for those who want to quit smoking!
Movie Review: Cat's Eye........how I miss the 80's
Summary: 5 Stars
The Cats Eye. Follow a furry tabby cat through his adventures while trying to find a little girl who appears to him in visions and needs his help to kill a small troll in her room. Quite a few 80's stars in here, definatly worth adding to the collection, I have a feeling its going to be out of print soon.Movie Review: a highly underrated movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I`ve introduced friends to this movie, and they like it. Many of them didn`t want to watch it because it was by Stephen King, and were afraid it was scary. I`ve always liked this flick, and give it the five stars it deserves.
