Grinch (194 KP) rated Stand by Me (1986) in Movies
May 7, 2017
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.

I was definitely expecting witches when I saw the title of the book but was pleasantly surprised by vampires :P I love the extremely aware links it makes towards Dracula. The characters are also superb. Yet again somehow Stephen king manages to include so many characters whilst still holding onto the story and no confusion. I was absolutely gripped.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Hearts in Atlantis (2001) in Movies
Feb 9, 2019
A pretty good film based on a Stephen King novel. It may be a bit slow for some, but overall it is an enjoyable film about a guy who reminisces about his best summer as a young boy. A good character story which in places has similarities with Stand by me and is quite a heartwarming film.

David McK (3562 KP) rated How Right You Are, Jeeves (Jeeves, #12) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Impossible to read without envisioning Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, who were perfectly cast in the roles of Jeeves and Wooster, respectively. PG Wodehouse's grasp of the English vocabularly is top-notch, as ever: his powers of description using only a few words are second to known and is equalled, in my opinion, only by Terry Pratchett.
David McK (3562 KP) rated Mythos (Stephen Fry's Greek Mythology Volume 1) in Books
Dec 10, 2019
Stephen Fry's straight re-telling of the various Greek Myths, in more-or-less chronological order (well, as much as they can be!), starting from the Titans and going right up to Midas, leaving (I assume) Jason and the Argonauts, or the siege of Troy for future instalments.
A bit like Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, in other words.
