Misery, (film review)

This film is an excellent piece of American cinema. The story is gripping, entertaining, funny, and scary. Bates and Caan deliver flawless performances. The dialog is perfect, and very quotable. One of the best adaptations to film of any Stephen King book with exception of The Shining and possibly Shawshank redemption and Stand by Me. With a brilliant concept, most likely a fear of Stephen Kings at one point, a Romance writer Paul Sheldon is caught in a blizzard driving in Colorado and rescued by his self professed number one fan Annie. She saves him by pulling him out of his car and nursing him back to health. Although he may have been better off freezing to death in the snow
