Watchers (1988)
Not a very good rendition of the book!!!
Dean Koontz is such an awesome author and, regrettably, this movie doesn't capture any of the great qualities of the book. My suggestion would be to forgo seeing this movie and go to the library, get the book and read it!!!!
You won't regret it, it is awesome and definitely leaves you wanting to read more of his books. His writing grabs your attention and engulfs you into the story, scaring you....yet not bad enough that you feel you have to put the book down. POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! Whereas the movie doesn't come near depicting the intelligence of the dog or relating the terrible sadness that envelopes the other. Also, it really doesn't show the depth of the hatred that the other has for the dog or the overwhelming empathy and understanding that the dog has for the other while at the same time being terrified of it knowing the hatred it feels for the dog. Just read the book!!!
Pop Rocks (2004)
I really liked this funny, feel good, kinda corny, family rock & roll show!
The credits for the show are running....I find myself grinning to myself and wanting to watch it again!!! Normally, I wouldn't have watched a non-mystery/thriller program, however, I have always liked Gary Cole and wanted to see about this movie/premier, also I was a teen rocker when KISS was first popular, so I had to check it out. I wasn't disappointed at all!!! It is a totally believable premise, well-acted and teaches to follow your heart, work hard and be true to yourself without being really preachy about it-laced with some good rock & roll music! I think it also shows what happens to the family dynamics with lack of truthful communication. It definitely proves the old adage, "To thine own self be true"...without that, ultimately no one can be happy!! It is also a movie that my 14- & 16-year old sons watched with me, talked with me about and enjoyed!!! Rock on!!! LOL!!!! ;)
