Hearts in Atlantis
|
IMDB rating: 6.70 Plot: This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem as Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss “by which all others will be measured”. Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the “lowmen”, who were seeking him. The two share a summer’s adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully (Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone. |

Which Stephen King book should I read next?
I just finished Under the Dome, and his Dark Tower series back in June. Anyways, I’ve seen almost off the the movie/TV renderings, except Hearts in Atlantis and the Dark Half, and part of Needful things.
But he has so many other books that I want to read soo bad. Which do you recommend to read? Again I’ve only read that book and the series. I also have The Talisman which looks good to. Thanks for any recs! I don’t want it too long (no 1000 pagers), but rather have a page-turner, deep psychological thrillerish, and excellent character development.
I started "Needful Things" last year and now I am getting around to finishing it. I am 3/4 of the way through and I think all of the conflicts and "side plots" have been introduced and I am curious as to who will win.
I have heard negative reports about "From a Buick 8 *" I started reading it, and then tried to listen to it on tape, and never got into it.
I listened to "Cell" on tape, I liked it maybe because it is based in New England. (there was enough blood shed to keep me interested;-))
I listened to "Hearts in Atlantis" on tape, and I liked it. King does some of the reading.
I read "Du ma Key" and liked it. There were a lot of twists and turns.
I know you asked about books by King, but I listened to "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac and liked it. But there was really no plot, (not that I could follow)
I got to Part 3 of Dark Tower, but I gave up half way through.
I started "Black House" I liked the concept, but I have been busy job hunting I did not really "get into it".
I read "The Regulators" There are some interesting ideas in it.
I liked "Dolan’s Cadillac"
My all time favorite is "Rage"
I liked "Sometimes They Come Back" and it got to me, but there are a lot of teachers in my family.
