Dion's Pick...
The Couch Potatoes select from the mini series category Nightmares and Dreamscapes...
“Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King.” The series is an excellent reminder that what makes Mr. King’s visions so fascinating is not their uniqueness or their artistry, but exactly how much they’re like ordinary nightmares. Which are plenty scary. And good for him for writing them down.
These movies are based on Mr. King’s short stories, and five in this series come from his book “Nightmares and Dreamscapes.” Apparently nothing Mr. King writes is unfilmable. These elaborate, showoff productions, which star people like
William H. Macy and
William Hurt, are proof that TNT, having had success with “Salem’s Lot” in 2004, is really getting into the moviemaking game, and setting out to lure serious actors.
