  Needful Things
  
  Disc in great shape. Took almost a month to get here. Seller said they switched carriers due to lost packages. I dont hold it against seller.

  way way too harsh!
  
  I just read Jeff Shannon's review of this film and quite frankly i don't understand why he is so harsh. it may not be the best stephen king film but it's far from the worst. it's actually pretty good and quite underrated, esp. if you have seen the expanded tv version which is even better. why that hasn't been released on dvd is a true shame. what fans of this film really need is a truly re-edited version, that combines the two versions into one film. in any case,if you like steve's work of you liked the book,pay no attention to the review and go ahead and rent or buy this film, you won't be sorry.
  now, if you want to see a truly horrible film,why not try "Independence Day" or "Transformers" both are completely unwatchable garbage and both made tons of cash. you decide!

  Stephen King's Best
  
  This sleeper is one of, if not, Stephen Kings best. Ed Harris is great as the Sheriff of Castle Rock [Yes, the same Castle Rock that forms a backdrop for many of King's tales]. Max Von Sydow comes to town and opens the Needful Things curio store . Although there's never much inventory, Max can always reach under the counter and pull out just what you need from a one of a kind baseball card to a long lost high school jacket. The price is always modest as long as you'll do him a small favor.

  Could've Been Better
  
  I admit I haven't read the book Needful Things, but this movie just seems like its missing something. It starts out well, with a look at small town life.The scene where Ed Harris, as the sheriff, and Max von Sydow as Leland Gaunt, the antique shop owner/Satan, meet and share some pie is almost sublime. But then the movie gets silly, with Ole Scratch turning the townspeople violently against each other by providing all the things they've ever wanted most. The acting is good, though Sydow really chews the scenery by the end. Overall, fair time killer.
