Stand by Me (1986)
1986 | Drama
Based on the Stephen King novel, The body, which is the backdrop to this great story. (2 more)
Outstanding acting from the then young cast.
Nostalgic story of friendship and the vulnerability of youth.
Coming of age movie, with the late River Phoenix. Stand by Me is a small, quiet film that walks tall and resonates long after.

Amazing artwork (2 more)
Horror based storyline
Great plot twists
Only one volume in the series (so far) (1 more)
The story leaves you on a cliffhanger but doesn't follow up with another installment
A great horror graphic novel.
It's a brilliant horror based storyline with a great twist on tradition witches (wytches). The artwork is dark enough to really add power to the story it accompanies.
Unfortunately though, the story leaves you on a cliffhanger which I would have loved if I knew there were going to be another installment to follow up on it.
Still, it's a great read and certainly one to add to the collection if you're a horror fan.

Even by PG Wodehouse standards, this one is pretty complicated - so much so, that Bertie Wooster even provides a list at the end of the novel (something liek 'Sundered Hearts'/'Reunited Hearts')!

Of course, while reading it, I was also (perhaps unavoidably) comparing it to the episodes of the old TV series that were clearly based on this particular novel, making it impossible to visualise any other than Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie as Jeeves and Wooster, respectively.

This film was based on the novel of the same name by Dean Koontz. I haven't read the novel, so I can't properly judge it on how good of an adaption it was.
Honestly, the only reason I watched this movie was because I was chilling with a friend a few years ago, and we saw a movie with Anton Yelchin in it on Netflix or something (she'd met him twice, I'm still super jealous). It was definitely an entertaining, quick-moving paranormal flick that I immediately fell in love with and purchased a few days after I saw it.
