Movie Reviews of Stephen King's The Stand
Movie Review: Garris and King Made This Movie Right
Summary: 5 Stars
Gary Sinise (FORREST GUMP), Molly Ringwald (THE BREAKFAST CLUB), Jamey Sheridan (ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS), Rob Lowe (TOMMY BOY), Ruby Dee (I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS), Laura San Giacomo (SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE), Adam Storke (TOO FAR TO GO), Ray Walston (OF MICE & MEN), Peter Van Norden (THE ACCUSED), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (AIRPLANE), Bill Fagerbakke (SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS), Shawnee Smith (SAW 1, 2, 3), Miguel Ferrer (JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER), Corin Nemec (THE LIFEFORCE EXPERIMENT), Ossie Davis (BUBBA HO-TEP), Ed Harris (MILK MONEY) and Stephen King (CREEPSHOW) star in the King/Garris classic known as THE STAND. THE STAND is about a flu epidemic that kills 99% of the Earth's population. Sinise plays Stuart Redman, whom along with a string of characters have dreams of an elderly woman named Mother Abigail (Ruby Dee), while others dream of the demonic man named Randall Flagg (Jamey Sheridan). Brilliant performances are given by Rob Lowe and Bill Fagerbakke as 2 disabled men who join the journey. Lowe does a great job doing a visual performance as the deaf-mute Nick Andros, who would expect him to play that kind of role? Fagerbakke plays the retarded Tom Cullen (no he's not related to Edward Cullen, LMFAO) who helps the group of survivors with an important mission. M-O-O-N spells important mission. I wonder who agrees with me that this role Bill Fagerbakke played earned him the role of Patrick on SPONGEBOB. If you haven't seen the movie, give it a whirl. This beats other Stephen King adaptations such as IT, STORM OF THE CENTURY, PET SEMATARY and MISERY. It is a blast! Infinity out of infinity out of infinity star rating, boo-yah!
Summary of Stephen King's The Stand
After a government-spawned "superflu" wipes out more than 90 percent of the earth's population, the devastated survivors must decide whether to support or resist the advances of a mysterious stranger from way down South (heh-heh) who wishes to claim this new world order for himself. Although the six-hour length makes it nigh-impossible to digest in one sitting, this well-paced adaptation of Stephen King's apocalyptic magnum opus ranks among the best adaptations of the author's work, with strong performances from Gary Sinise, Miguel Ferrer, and especially Jamey Sheridan as a good-old-boy version of Old Scratch. The opening scene, set to the strains of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper," is one of the most chilling things ever shot for television. Director Mick Garris is no stranger to King's world, having also helmed Sleepwalkers, the recent television remake of The Shining, and the upcoming Desperation. --Andrew WrightAction & Adventure DVD Video
