Just watched The Shawshank Redemption a few nights ago.
"Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus." LOL We knew it would be cheesy when we bought it ($5 at WalMart), and it was. Sometimes we like a good cheesy movie. Entertaining.
We're going a different direction now with "Shawshank Redemption."

We watch "Shawshank Redemption" every now and then too. We finally just bought it. LOL I like the Made-for-TV versions of the movies based on his books more than the theatrical ones. For instance, the M-f-TV version of "The Shining" was way better than the theatrical one (he actually hated the theatrical one and insisted on having more control after that, since it was so different than the book). The M-f-TV version of "'Salem's Lot" was great too (they didn't do a theatrical version of it, I don't think). It just proves that you can have a great suspense movie without filling it full of "f-bombs.""shawshank redemption" is an awsome movie. i re watch it when i ever i see that it is on. so many movies based on stephen king's books are not very good. maybe they don't translate to the screen very well.
