Bag of Bones

Review: I found this mini series to be pretty boring and I lost interest after the first part. It doesn't really piece together until the last 15 minutes and then it all seems a bit rushed.

Now hang on just a minute. Give this film a break!

Bestselling novelist Mike Noonan (Pierce Brosnan)'s wife Jo (Annabeth Gish) gets run over in the street. He finds a pregnancy test on her and assumes that she cheated on him since he's infertile.

I started watching this as one of the few King adaptations I'd never seen and found it surprisingly good, especially Brosnan in a role I could not really imagine him taking on.Most of the Stephen King films I have seen have been pretty good The Stand, Salem's Lot, It and my favourite, The Langoliers.

I missed the opportunity to see this TV made film the first time, I was determined to watch it the next time, because I was told it was worth watching, I like the former James Bond 007 actor, and it was based on a Stephen King work, so lots of it sounded interesting. Basically Mike Noonan (Pierce Brosnan) is a best selling author, but he and his wife Jo (Annabeth Gish) are unable to conceive children, due to his low sperm count, but tragedy strikes when while he is at a book signing she leaves and gets killed by a bus, he goes outside and she dies in his arms.

Traveling to a lake-front mansion to get over his wife's death, a distraught writer finds that her ghost is using him to help a local woman battle an evil land-owner who's evil secret goes back to the town's infamous haunting involving numerous disappearances to cover up the original tragedy.Taking the new miniseries as a whole, this one definitely feels just like every other Stephen King story: an isolated Maine town, elders having a deadly secret who the locals are afraid of, lots of melodrama instead of horror with only brief forays into the style to trick us into thinking that's what it really is, and far too many scenes outside the style that just eats up so much time that this could very easily be paired down by well over an hour without taking away anything of any importance in the storyline.

This movie just drags on and on. I even started fast forwarding it at the very slow parts so it could get to the point.

The bestseller writer Mike Noonan (Pierce Brosnan) is autographing his new release in a bookstore and his beloved wife, the painter Jo Noonan (Annabeth Gish), goes to a store on the other side of the street to buy a pregnant test. When she is crossing the street back to the bookstore, a bus run over her and she does not survive.

After reading several other reviewer's comments who didn't like this production at all, it became evident they were highly disappointed because the adaptation didn't follow the book very well.I didn't read the book.
