The Body

Product Information

Reiner did, after all, direct another one of my favorite 80s films (*cough cough* The Princess Bride) and is, according to Stephen King, the best choice to adapt his novels (we all know he hates Kubrick and doesn’t care for any of the tv shows inspired by his work).

In high school I found my tribe but I still have fond memories of my preteen "girl gang", even if I'm no longer friends with them.

It's a film I've never watched despite being told it's a great movie and was nominated for Best Screen Play. Much of King's material goes back to a group of kids, a pack, going through some kind of bizarre adventure.We’re entering the depths of summer now, and I recommend giving this a look if it’s been a while since your last read.

Ray Brower, the boy who went missing and the reason Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern took the camping trip to Back Harlow Road, is from Chamberlain, which is the setting for the King's first novel Carrie. Halliburton, the town truant officer, was always showing up at Chris's house, driving his old black Chevrolet with the NO RIDERS sticker in the corner of the windshield.As the boys to begin their summer trek, they must come together to face winding train tracks, a brief dip in an interesting water hole, and a great deal of self-discovery.
