Movie Reviews of Stephen King Gift Set (The Langoliers / The Stand / Golden Years)
Movie Review: Worth it just for "The Stand"
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this just to have a copy of "The Stand," which, while it does have its flaws (like Molly Ringwald as Frannie) is still an excellent adaptation of my favorite King novel. I was unable to find a stand-alone(no pun intended) of "The Stand" and this set was the best I could do, other than buying used copies.
I was hoping that "Langoliers" and "Golden Years" would be good "bonus" movies, but luckily did not have high hopes. They both SUCKED. "Langoliers" was at least interesting enough that I finished it, but I got two hours into "Golden Years" and abandoned it, which I can only say I have ever done maybe three times in my life. Don't waste your time.
Summary of Stephen King Gift Set (The Langoliers / The Stand / Golden Years)
The Stand: Originally aired as a television mini-series, this all-star filmization of Stephen King's gripping epic of good versus evil chronicles the episodic adventures of a disparate group of people who struggle to reestablish civilization after a man-made catastrophe wipes out most of the world's population. The world abruptly ends when a deadly virus accidentally escapes from a government sponsored biological warfare laboratory. Soon people are dropping like flies from the plague, but a few survive and find themselves strangely compelled to head into the West. Good-hearted people follow the voice of an ancient black woman and head for Boulder, Colorado. Bad people follow the enigmatic Walkin' Dude to Las Vegas. It is only a matter of time before the two sides are forced into a climactic battle over the final fate of humanity. Golden Years: This made-for-TV mini-series from the notorious horror writer centers upon a hapless old janitor who begins undergoing incredible physical changes after he is accidentally covered with experimental chemicals following a laboratory mishap. Now the government will stop at nothing to get him back. The Langoliers: Ten passengers on a red-eye flight from L.A. to Boston discover that they are not the only people on the plane, but after making an emergency landing in Bangor, Maine, they discover that they are the only people on the planet. This film was based off the Stephen King short story Four Past Midnight.Horror DVD Video
