    I'm watching it. I didn't like some of the changes the first movie people made to the book plot like the hedge animals to a hedge maze plus some others. I'll watch Rebecca De Mornay in anything. I don't remember any nude scenes with Wendy but I'm hopeful.

    I enjoyed it quite a bit and believe I prefer this version, which is more true to King's novel. My husband still thinks Nicholson is the best. :rolleyes:

    Another thing that caught my attention was that, in the movie, Jack seems to start out bad. with his grins and leers and all, whereas, in the book, Jack makes a gradual transition. Nicholson is fun to watch in anything though.

    It's 'Soylent Green', Marie. 'Soy' for soybeans and 'lent' for lentils. The other colors of Soylent were all incomplete proteins to make mental deficients out of the masses. Soylent Green was the one with human meat to make it a complete protein. It was intended to cause riots so the elites could reduce the population. I liked the book better than the movie.

    "Taking Chance," starring Kevin Bacon. Very touching movie, worth a watch. (If you can watch this with dry eyes, you are made of sterner stuff than I.)

    "The movie is based on the recollections of U.S. Marine Lt. Col Michael Strobl, a real person, who accompanied the remains of Lance Corporal Chance Phelps, a Marine fatally wounded by gunfire near Baghdad during the Iraq War, from Dover Air Force Base to Dubois, Wyoming in April 2004. He attended both Phelps's funeral and his memorial service, and wrote an essay about the entire experience, the emotions he felt and the people he met."

    We watched a Guy Ritchie film in Netflix 2 nights ago, “The Gentlemen”. Good cast and, if you like G.R.’s films, this delivers his signature style.

    Tonight I'm watching the Harrison Ford film "Regarding Henry". An enjoyable film about a well-to-do man who has his life turned upside down.
    Co-starring Annette Benning as Henry's wife.

    "Monuments Men", starring Matt Damon. The true story of how a small group of allies in WW2 searched for, and saved the greatest pieces of art the world has ever seen.
