The Dead Zone is a pretty flat movie.  It seems like "Stephen King adaptations"
are beginning to mean a quick script to milk dollars.

I've read a lot about David Cronenburg (the director of this movie), and
personally can't understand what all the fuss is about.  I've seen this
effort and his last, Videodrome, and think he's pretty lousy.  Can anyone
tell me what he's done that's supposed to be good?  (I think I caught another
one of his - a movie about kids killing people, and laughed through that one
too.)
