Movie Reviews of Stephen King's Cat's Eye
Movie Review: A Mew-sing
Summary: 4 Stars
Our local membership store was selling this for $3.36 and, as the neighborhood cat person, I bought it solely on that basis. We're not Steven King fans but my wife & I both liked this film. If nothing else, you have to appreciate the talent of the people who trained the cat(cats?) for a very significant role, especially in the last story. Using the cat's perilous journey to save a young girl as the anchor to tie the three stories together worked well. The acting was, for the most part, excellent although the young Drew Berrymore didn't show the level of terror you'd expect in her situation. As a child actor, though, you can forgive that.
Cat people could like the film based on the cat actor alone and be pleasantly surprised to find it's also a truly good film. We now have hope that Cookie & Phoebe will save us from the monster in our walls.
Movie Review: It's the cat's meow!
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched Cat's Eye last night, for the first time in at least 15 years, and I'm happy to say it STILL doesn't disappoint. Not as dated as you'd expect after all this time either. Cat's Eye isn't scary, though has some suspenseful moments. I don't think anyone would be scared except small children (in particular for the last story) but they shouldn't be watching this sort of thing anyway.
As a smoker, the Quitters Inc. segment made me wish they had some sort of smoking cessation program such as. And for the gambling segment, I about died when he kicks the pigeon! Hilarious! The final story is also quite fun with the little monster. If you're looking for something unusual to keep you entertained, give this movie a try. It's a classic!
Movie Review: I would like to see the rest of this movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good movie. I liked it. First I read the short stories by Stephen King (Quitter's Inc. And The Ledge) and I think this movie did them justice for the most part. It is very well acted and the cinematography is astounding. But I can't give five stars due to an over the top smoking scene in the first segment and the cutting of the prologue at the begining. I would have liked to have seen it, for it explains the cat's motivation. Quitters Inc. was good, The Ledge was the best of the three, and The General was very enjoyable. All in all a good film for lovers of Stephen King (who B.T.W. did a good job of writting this movie).Movie Review: Catseye: A great trilogy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fine piece of mental chewing gum. The first one is a wry commentary on quit-smoking programs, but THIS one is the ultimate. The second (the weakest of the three) involves a Mob boss at a casino, a frame-up, and an inveterate gambler's end. The third (the best one of them all) stars Drew Barrymore as a girl who's terrorized by a troll living in her wall. What holds the three pieces together is a cat (hence the title), which travels from one to the other, and is the hero in the last. The troll animation is superb.Movie Review: Never Get Tired of Watching
Summary: 4 Stars
Great movie. This movie has been a favorite of mine since I was 5 years old, unlike 'Tales from Darkside', 'Cat's Eye' is very good!! The acting is superb & its not predictable ; Keeps you on the edge of your seat. I personally like how Drew Barrymore is in the movie, but not until the very last story that shes a main character.
The acting is great ; James Woods (& the other actor, can't recall name) worked very well together. I give this movie a 6 star out of 5.
