The movie's still worth a look for the weirdness alone.Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-82079714315448140842013-06-01T21:48:11.119-07:002013-06-01T21:48:11.119-07:00Nice Review Barry.

I'm sure the director tried his best to adapt a book that may be just unadaptable. I agree that it was fun to see someone take chances and put something out there that hasnt been seen beforeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174093530239310598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-68162335281241944472013-05-16T22:46:30.513-07:002013-05-16T22:46:30.513-07:00I can't help but give it a mild recommendation...I can't help but give it a mild recommendation, thanks to Coscarelli's sincere attempt, but I think the script could have used some more "fleshing out." You won't feel like you wasted 90 minutes of your life... Maybe more like 40. ;)Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-30709006971454151092013-05-16T14:23:27.039-07:002013-05-16T14:23:27.039-07:00I've heard only negative things from people wh...I've heard only negative things from people who've read the book, and nary a peep from those who haven't, so this didn't sit high on my "to watch" list.
