I've learned to just avoid Stephen King movies. I love his books, but aside from The Shining and The Stand, his movies only disappoint. His work just, for whatever reason, doesn't translate to a visual medium. Maybe it's the constraints of time, or possibly not finding the right people to work on adapting his books and making the fantasy worlds his characters inhabit come alive, I don't know.

I do agree with the majority on the Dark Tower series. Absolutely riveted the whole way through. At the time when I first finished reading the series, I felt a bit hacked off that he finished it the way he did, Roland having to set off on his quest for the Dark Tower all over again. I guess after all that had come before and all that the characters endured I was expecting it to all culminate in some great revelation for Roland. Now I've come to believe that it was a fitting end to the story.
