This one held me from start to finish.
I'm no fan of King books turned into movies(the exceptions being the
shining, carrie and, a bit more mildly, this one). Firestarter lacks the sinister quality of the shining or the pure fine classic quality of a movie like Carrie but as far as thrillers go one can do a lot worse. I actually enjoyed this for what it is-an action packed thriller with wild special effects and an interesting plot. It held me from start to finish. There isn't much to dislike here as you are engrossed from the beginning. This maybe not a movie to go down in the thriller book of history but it certainly is watchable and quite interesting if you let yourself get swept away in the plot from the beginning. I'd solidly recommend this as a fun, at times riveting thriller that at least is never boring. My rating is 7 out of 10.. Carmen2012 watch Chemical Wedding movie
A LOVELY HORROR FOR A LOVELY RAINY DAY.... CAN'T WAIT.
That's HOT!
Those who can't stand the heat, don't watch this movie! Fresh from the
movie E.T., Drew Barrymore stars in this movie as Charlene "Charlie" Mcgee a pyrokinetic or "Firestarter" for that. Stephen King book really intensified me. The movie is just as interesting. A great cast put up: George C. Scott(Patton, Mr. President, Mussolini:The Untold Story, etc.) Heather Locklear(T.J. Hooker, Melrose Place) Antonio Fargas(Starsky&Hutch) Charlie Sheen(Too Long to count) and others you might have know. The Shop is a very shady government group that builds certain guinea pigs with the formula LOT 6. Something quite similar to the Weapon X in Marvel Comics. Which Andy Mcgee(David Keith) telepathy and bore Charlie with pyrokinesis. When Charlie gets mad, you better look out, it's better to call the fire department when this action occurs. When Rainbird(Scott) killed the Capt.(Sheen) and Andy(Keith). Revenge really burns in the soul of Charlie. It really goes with the term, "YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!! She really burned The Shop down like it was no tomorrow, avenging her father is one way to release her anger towards "The Shop". Charlie makes all profession arsonists look like amateurs. She'll burn anything when others give up trying to cover their tracks. I've read the book, and I've seen the movie, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the theaters and the rentals! HAHA! 4 OUT OF 5 STARS.. |
