Is it worth my time to rent "Secret Window" on Directv?

[ScreamingMeemie]

I have heard conflicting critiques of this movie, so I'm putting it to the DU crowd. Should I wait for it to hit regular t.v. or pay the $3.99??

Thanks, Laura

1. No. It was lame.

[redqueen]

2. I liked it

:shrug:

I don't know... I could be biased... it was based on a Stephen King story, and it does feature Johnny Depp quite prominently in the starring role. ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Based on "Bag of Bones", correct?

Let the conflicting advice begin!!! :)

[devlin radiset]

7. no...based on 'Secret window, secret Garden' in

short story collection Four Past Midnight

edit: but sorta similar to Bag of Bones

[truthspeaker]

23. Also similar to "The Dark Half"

King's been repeating himself for a while, unfortunately.

22. I enjoyed it as well.

Good, not great movie. Worth 4 bucks.

4. Good question!

I've been wondering the same thing. I was also wondering about Cold Mountain.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Cold Mountain was a good movie. It was a smoother run than the

book was. I had a really hard time keeping interest in the book, with the shifting back and forth.

Hi jchild! It's good to see you.

:hi:

12. Looks like I'll rent it this weekend, then.

I love using the remote to order movies. Wouldn't trade my directv for anything.

Good to see you, too, MrsGrumpy! :hi:

5. I liked it.

8. I liked it

but then I love King, Bag O Bones was very good I thought. Also, I would watch Johnny Depp do anything, major eye candy plus I really like his acting. I think he is great but then I know nothing about acting. I paid for it on cable but probably should have waited, it wasn't THAT good. My husband did not care for it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. So, I should wait then? Or is the eye candy worth the $4-?

:hi:

[MuseRider]

13. Depends, I guess.

He is mighty cute and he grunts a lot. Does that help? :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Yes!

I think I'm on it! It's a rainy day... Gotta run to a book sale, but then I guess I'll spend the afternoon with Johnny!

Thanks Muse! :hi:

[MuseRider]

18. I know you will

enjoy those eyes. God, if I only my bed head looked so good and a cap only made me look better! Have a good one.

[swag]

10. Yeah. It's kind of a mess, but I'd say it's worth $3.99 to see

Johnny Depp stumble around muttering in his robe and get into deep shit. I am being sincere.

[aden_nak]

11. It wasn't the best movie, but it was worth $4 to see.

I'm glad I rented it rather than paying ticket price, though.

[Tempest]

15. NO!

If you want to see Secret Window, rent "The Shining" and "Misery".

Then you can say you've seen Secret Window.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Heheh. Seen those two. And I am one of the rare ones who liked the mini

series of the Shining better than the big screen. Thanks for your input. :hi:

[supernova]

17. Secret Window is great mainly

because you get to see what a great actor Johnny truely is.

Anybody that can make flaking out on the couch seem interesting really is Acting :D

edit: I bought the DVD; but then I'm an obssessed fan. It's one of the thrills I discovered being unemployed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Hey, I'm one of those people who wore through a copy of Benny and Joon...

No comments on your obsession here! :hi:

[southpaw]

19. Go for it...

It's no masterpeice, but its worth $4. and the time it takes to watch it.

Depp is really good in this one!

[reprehensor]

21. HELL no.

What a letdown.
