THE SECRET WINDOW!!!
I just saw "The Secret Window" today. I LOVED IT! It stars Johnny Depp and John Turturro. It's based on a novella by Stephen King, who is my favorite writer of all time. He used to drive me nuts the way he loves to toy with the readers emotions. Most of the time the main character doesn't end up "happily ever after" like a person would like. Although, I began to find this refreshing after reading some of the crappy novels that our poorly funded library has to offer.

Depp gives an excellent performance. I was afraid that his character would seem similar to "Cap'n Jack Sparrow", but he really didn't. (well, there was a little bit at the begining, but after that I didn't notice)I love Depp in almost all of his movies. I've never seen anything from "21 Jump Street", but I have seen "Edward Scissor-hands", "The Ninth Gate", and "Pirates of the Caribbean", just to name a few.

The movie has your usual Stephen King twist at the end, which I didn't see coming. That's unusual for me, I'm usually pretty perceptive. ;) I'm still freaked out by it. I wish I could tell it, but if someone hasn't seen it yet they'll probably kill me.

The music is by Philip Glass, who is one of my favorite movie-score musicians. I would love to have that job. That is, in fact, one of my dream jobs. Another is a music producer for Rock albums, but that's even more far-fetched. Oh well, that's how it goes.

Anyway, I really recommend seeing this movie. Maybe it's not one of the best thrillers I'm going to see this year (I mean, It's only March) But hey, Depp and King? How can it go wrong!
