Movie Review: Christine

Recently, probably because I recently watched the mist, I decided that I wanted to revisit more Stephen King movies.

I'm a big fan of King's books, but I've found a few of the movies to be, how shall I put this, less than accurate representations of the books.

It is because King puts so much detail into his books that it would be almost impossible to try and transfer that to the screen without boring the audience.

Don't get me wrong, it's by no means boring in the books, but I think such attention to detail would be difficult if not impossible to attain on the screen.

But I digress, as I said above, I have been hankering for some older King inspired movies, so my hunt took me to this movie - Christine.

It's based on the book of the same name in which a 1958 Plymouth Fury is actually the star of the book and movie.

The car has the ability to not only drive itself, but take revenge on those who would do her harm.

But we don't find that out until later.  So let me start at the beginning.
