[Sparky]

Wow, this is a real bummer. I liked King's short story Everything's Eventual from the collection of the same name.

It sounds like (surprise) the story was much better. The "hero" is a loser who looks at soft-porn mags. He is anything but a ladies man.

Things magically appear from the secret agency which cleans his house when he is not home and stocks his refridgerator with whatever he wants (he makes a list and leaves it). It's not magic. His powers appears to be killing only, not whipping up apple pies from thin air.

I'll bet the ending was better than this film as well.
