Secret Window
 

thoughts on this movie...

Re: Secret Window
 

lol i meant to put it this thread in the 'upcoming movies' forum

Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and I love horror movies so you can't go wrong here :).

It looks pretty cool. I'm looking forward to it.

Secret Window
 

I really don't know what to think about this movie. Johnny Depp was excellent as usual, definitely Stephen King Style all the way, but a little too much like the Dark Half only not as good!

I was kind of disappointed here!

The Dark Half explained a lot more about the characters in the movie. Anyone read this? Was originally The Secret Garden.

Actually, the original story was a novella titled "Secret Window, Secret Garden" in Four Past Midnight. I read it a long time ago, and nearly forgot about it. When I saw the preview to Secret Window, John Turturro's character saying "You stole my story" pricked something in the back of my mind. I turned to my wife and said: "I read that story somewhere. That's a story." So, I can't say how the movie compared. I really don't remember that much of the story. As far as the movie went, I was disappointed myself. I enjoyed Depp's performance, but I found it too predictable. There were no shocks, no thrills. Apart from Depp, I found the film to be quite the bore.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I want to soon.

i was also a bit dissapoitned with the film, altho you gotta admit the ending scene where he took a bite out of the corn was great!

I read that book a long time ago! No wonder I kept getting deja vu through the whole thing! I really can't recall it though, and this is one of the few I don't own.

And it was boring, my husband was asleep after the first half hour!

would have liked it more if it came out 5 years ago but since it didnt it wasnt very original of a movie

True....good point.

this one reigned in as an "OK" in my book...but only an ok.....Depp did well in the role he was given, and the actor playing "shooter" was great..

the story, however, was not all that great....like nine9's hubby, I was close to sleep for most of this one....

I did fall asleep...you knew the Attorney was going to die as soon as he agreed to go out to the cabin.

RAH RAH RAH!

lol that was the funniest part of the movie, when hes all goin crazy

Johnny Depp was hella fine in that, don't argue with me, you know he is

that movie was very good, i just don't understand why someone would cheat on HIM though, i think she musta been on drugs

dude you say hella jesus christ we got us a newb boys

no shit Sherlock, seriously you jst noticed this?

and i say hella cause i'm californian bitch

thats profiling and profiling wrong

oh wait your from california know it makes sense

well then i apoligise just cause your gov. cant speak english doesnt mean you cant

lol u saw The Blue Collar Comedy Tour? thats hella funny

what the hell dude? he has to speak english to be gov., he just has a crappy accent

dude ur retarded, hella is a word in ENGLISH, if you can spell it then its a word and its not in another laguage.

you are just sad

very Very Very VERY Good Idea.

If the only adverb in your vocabulary is 'hella' then STFU n00b. It's not in the dictionary.


I rented Secret Window last night, but I fell asleep right after Tuturo said "you stole my story". Not because it was boring, it was 2:30 am. I read some reviews that say Depp is the only good thing, and so far Im diggin the accent. Hopefully it doesnt get boring...

:cool:

Hey, let's leave the newb alone. She has every right to talk like that, even if we don't like it. It's called Free Speech, aka The First Amendment.

I rented this yesterday, was going to buy it last week, glad I didnt because I was sorely disappointed. 2 many parallels to The Dark Half (which is a movie and book that I love). I mean George Stark and John Shooter are both from Mississippi. I think that King is running out of ideas for stories and starting to rehash is old stuff with minor changes with the hopes that the unsuspecting viewer wont catch the similarities.



Why the Hell dont they make a film about The Long Walk, now that would be a good flick.

Secret Window was predictable!
 

Johnny Depp was amazing and perfect for the role, and the movie was very good. However, and I am sure many of you can agree with me, once you have read or seen movies by Stephen King, you come to expect the "big twist" endings. Stephen King is one of the best authors ever, but you know that the twist is coming. So right from the beginning I was doubting what was really happening in the movie. The one thing I thought that they could have done is *SPOILER!!!* Johnny Depp should have had the voice of Shooter. Other than that I liked it completely...which I think is sort of obvious.

I just watched this the other night and I thought it was pretty cool.
I loved the way it was all kinda in his head, although I don't know if Johnny Depp suits being a murderous son of a bitch. Oh well the cheating couple deserved what they got. I loved it when he got smacked in the face with a shovel lol.
It was good for a new movie, most new movies now days are stupid...

i like how it kind of incorporated the misery/dark half story lines which stephen king has already explored. kinda makes it fun all over again

This movie had one of the most satisfying endings ever. i loved it :D

Granted, the whole tyler durden thing has been doen to death, but i loved it anyway :D

Secret Window - How Stupid Do We Think We Are ?!!??
 

What a stupid movie.
What a stupid stupid movie.

How stupid and new do they think movie fans are ?

I'm frustrated .. I'm pissed and I dont know who to blame.
I dont think this was well received .. I never even knew it was released in the theatre .. was it ?

I think I'd like to blame my old friend Stephen King for writing yet another one of his little biographies. Looky Looky .. another tortured writer. Oh hey, a suprise .. a made up character ! holy smokes I didnt see that one coming !
It's the Dark Half part 2 !

Goddammit I'm so mad I cant even formulate an eloquent review ..
I'm pissed I bought the DVD used for $9.00. I'm pissed i took the time to watch it.
I HATE Stephen King .. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate the fuck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE ME URGEOK

Re: Secret Window - How Stupid Do We Think We Are ?!!??
 

so was the film any good?

depp doesnt need to do a shit movie like that .. what on earth was he thinking ? fufill a contractual obligation in the easiest way possible ?

Okay, Okay... I didn't think it was sooo bad.. I was really wasted when I watched it. I don't know.. But I do hate Stephen King too

note to movie store ... a dime bag of grass with every copy of Secret Window sold.

it makes some movies easier to get through.

Now that was funny, it should alsp read " I have ran out of ideas, maybe I should rehash some old ones."

no shit ...

he ran out of new ideas after carrie ...

fuck i hate that smug son of a bitch.

I enjoyed seeing Depp go totally off the deep end, actaully I throughly enjoyed this movie. Im a King fan tho. I wouldnt say he ran out of Ideas after Carrie, he has a few ideas. Troubled author, kids that are/were troubled, object coming to life. The Shing was different though. Amazing book/movie.

every fucking story has to be about some personal character flaw or other that he has. Every fucking story .. an author with a problem.

i'm glad some people find him as interesting as he does himself.

cockknocker that he is.
