S. Kings 'The Dark Tower'

Not detracting from Kings ability as a writer mind you, but I think the only
films derived from one of his books that lived up to its potential was
"Shawshank Redemtion" and perhaps "The Shining" .
Before anyone flames me... I emphasize its not Kings shortcomings as a writer
but the abilities of the film makers that make the movies so mundane.
"The Stand" would have been an outstanding movie (series of movies) had it
been done right.
