I just saw "Secret Window"
It seems like a scrambled version of the shining to me. I've never been a big Steven King fan anyway.
Did you like it?

1. I was thinking of seeing it, on account of Johnny Depp ...
Is it based on one of King's books or short stories?

3. Based on the short story "Secret Window, Secret Garden,"
Where he approaches his own "The Dark Half" from a different angle.

4. That's a good enough reason
That's why I went to see it.

Who cares about the rest of the movie? :-)

He is very good in it, as usual, and carries the movie.

6. Hey, HEyHEY!!
I just saw that last night myself, spooky!
Maybe you are my evil personality? Or I am yours? :evilgrin:

I actually really liked it. It was scary, smart, stylish, and tidy story-telling. Altogether a good watch, I thought. (But then, I do confess to enjoying King since I was a very young girl of only 10 years!)

7. I paid full price at the theater to see that movie & i felt robbed
Maybe it was me but it didn't seem worth $10.00 bucks at the show plus when you pay for popcorn and pop that's too much.

8. I'll second that.
I will watch anything with Depp in it; he is usually pretty good at choosing his roles.

Secret Window is kind of a turkey, tho.
