Hi all.

Well finally I hope to get back to sending updates and King related
information by the list instead of by normal email and the chatroom.

How many of you saw the first episode of Kingsom Hospital a few days
ago? The reviews I have read seems very split - Some said it was
great, while others thought it poor. Since I have yet to see the
episodes, I'd love to hear your views on what it was like. You can
email me at webmaster@...

IN THEATRES, APRIL 8

"Writing means revealing oneself to excess." – Franz Kafka

Starring: Johnny Depp, John Turturro
Maria Bello, Timothy Hutton
Charles S. Dutton
Directed & Adapted by: David Koepp

Though he knows he should be at his computer writing another book, or
at least walking his dog along the sparkling lake outside his dingy
cabin, successful author Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is sleeping on his
favorite sofa for up to 16 hours a day. He is in the midst of a
painful divorce and everything about the breakup has turned messy and
unpleasant. It has sapped his energy and siphoned away his
creativity, leaving him with a monumental case of writer's block
that
renders him incapable of even stringing a simple sentence together.

Then, when it seems as if things can't possibly get worse, a
psychotic stranger named John Shooter (John Turturro) shows up at his
doorstep, accuses Rainey of plagiarizing his story and demands
satisfaction. Despite Rainey's efforts to placate him, Shooter
becomes increasingly insistent and hostile, intimating a twisted sort
of justice that could include cold-blooded murder.

Forced into a mind-bending game of cat and mouse, Rainey discovers
that he has more cunningness and gritty determination than he ever
imagined. In the end, he realizes that elusive Shooter may know him
better than he knows himself.
