DEAD ZONE, THE
starstarstarstar
David Cronenberg's first truly mainstream movie is arguably the best Stephen King adaptation to date, The Shining included. Christopher Walken stars as a shy schoolteacher who suffers a near-fatal auto accident and slips into a coma. When he awakens five years later, he finds his life has completely changed: His fiancée has married another man, his mother has become a religious fanatic, and he is now gifted with the terrifying power to see other people's futures by touching their hands.

  • I think it's really ... | Matt Roush | 7/28/2006
    Question: I think it's really interesting how Psych became such a hit on USA. The same with Saved's success on TNT (although I find the show a dull Rescue Me knockoff). Some channels (both cable and network) have found certain formulas that really work, and then stick with that brand. Psych, for instance, fits seamlessly into the USA brand by being a cross between The Dead Zone and Monk. In fact, I want to further compliment USA on the best ad campaign I have seen in years. I actually stop fast-forwarding on my DVR to watch those hilarious USA ads featuring their wonderful array of characters. My wife and I love them! But my question goes back to the failure earlier this year of Love Monkey (also a wonderful show) on the stodgy, serious CBS network. CBS puts on this wonderful, sweet and quirky show and it fails; so they go back to their dull formula with the ridiculous The Unit, and it's a ratings smash. Do you feel that networks and cable channels (after a scenario like this for CBS) ... read more
