Every Stephen King Movie, Ranked

Stephen King’s works have been adapted in numerous ways, with some adaptations being done by King himself. This vast array of adaptations makes it challenging to find a common theme among all the films based on his work. While many of these adaptations fall into the horror genre (and it’s true that many of the early ones were horror), this is largely due to the 1980s being the era when King was primarily recognized as a horror author. As King’s body of work and reputation have grown, his stories have been transformed into dramas, comedies, musicals, and even a Bollywood film.

Seth Meyers’s Cavalcade of SNL Writers Won Late Night

Kicking off our rundown of the last fortnight’s highlights, I’d like to give a shout-out to John Oliver, who graced The Late Show With Stephen Colbert an impressive 20 times! During their latest encounter, both seemed to be in high spirits as they tackled one of the most distressing events in recent American history. When Stephen mentioned that people tune into Last Week Tonight to unwind, John’s response was priceless: “That’s like self-inflicting wounds to relax!” This interaction inspired me to dedicate a section to some of the more unusual statements made on late-night shows during these past two weeks.

Yellowjackets Recap: Girls’ Trip

Great news, diligent sleuths! It seems we may have found a significant development in the case of “It” versus “Group Psychosis“. There appears to be an accumulation of toxic gas beneath the wilderness region where the Yellowjackets are camping, and this could potentially explain many of the bizarre occurrences the group has faced since their arrival. As the season unfolds, the visions experienced by Van, Shauna, and Akilah during their exposure to the gas will likely become crucial pieces of evidence. Unfortunately, it appears that this turn of events may not bode well for poor Ben.

Love Is Blind Recap: The Social Network

Initially, it’s important to resolve the suspense from the previous week. Taylor possesses an app to identify who has unfollowed her on Instagram, and the production team is permitting her to use it. Daniel expresses concern that Taylor might discover his profile, but he also claims he wouldn’t cheat the system. The atmosphere is tense, yet they manage to find moments of levity. Taylor tirelessly scrolls through her followers, commenting on losing many followers, but doesn’t find Daniel. Eventually, she stops checking. Daniel comforts her, saying she’s not going crazy and offers to accompany her home if she has doubts about Honduras. However, Taylor, reassured that their bond isn’t based solely on physical attraction, is prepared to proceed further. This means we continue following the journey of five couples. Let’s analyze what transpires, couple by couple.

Severance Recap: Triangles of Sadness

It’s really disappointing that the love stories in the show ‘Severance’ can’t have happy endings; instead, they seem destined for sorrow and despair. This week, we learned that Outie Burt is not just married, but could also be a high-ranking figure at Lumon – yet I still hope his inner self will wind up with Irving B. Furthermore, even though Mark is returning to the real world, I find myself yearning for him to be romantically involved with both Helly R. and Gemma simultaneously. Alas, this seems unattainable. ‘Severance’ is leading us towards emotional turmoil, and I’m trying (but failing) to steel my sensitive heart for the pain that’s coming.

Elsbeth Recap: Ferris Bueller Would Never!

In order to create engaging one-hour murder mysteries, it’s crucial that the antagonist is portrayed as arrogant. While not every murderer may exhibit this trait to the same extent, the act of killing another person often requires a level of self-assurance. This arrogance manifests in three ways:

1. Belief in their own ability to carry out such a heinous act.
2. Conviction that their reasons for committing the murder are valid or deserving.
3. Assumption that they can evade detection, due to their supposed superior planning and execution of the crime.

Matlock Recap: Kramer vs. Kramer

For this current case, it initially challenged my feelings, presenting a conclusion that felt disorganized and left me wanting more emotional resolution. However, this isn’t necessarily a criticism as the unexpected twist was purposeful – indeed, I believe it served the story well thematically.

So The Pitt Has You Obsessed With Freedom House Ambulance

The 2023 documentary produced by WQED Pittsburgh, a PBS member-station, was released and can be found on YouTube. The visuals are straightforward, combining historical photographs and videos, news articles, and interviews with ex-Freedom House Ambulance staff, local residents of Pittsburgh, and medical professionals. Despite the simple presentation, the story is incredibly engaging, evoking emotions ranging from anger to inspiration as it sheds light on how a small group significantly altered our way of life – serving as a stark reminder of the tumultuous history of our nation.

The Pitt Recap: Just One of Those Days

Although it may seem like I’m criticizing this episode titled “The Pitt“, written by Joe Sachs and directed by Amanda Marsalis, it’s actually quite the opposite. This episode manages to be both emotionally stirring and harrowing without slipping into sentimentality, a feat that could have easily been achieved otherwise. The series consistently demonstrates the reality of their work environment, where each patient, regardless of how intense or unusual their case may be, is just another part of the day for the doctors and nurses. This job requires them to move on to the next patient after one has been treated (although in an ideal world, patients would be discharged as soon as possible, which is a point of contention between Robby and his doctors). The case of our six-year-old drowning victim Amber serves as a powerful reminder that even though this is their job, it doesn’t make these medical professionals immune to the emotional impact of their patients.

The Traitors Recap: Queens & Pawns

Instead, they face the difficult task of selecting someone to eliminate, a choice that doesn’t come naturally. In truth, every single decision made in the turret this season feels like an uphill battle. These two women have such deep-seated animosity towards each other that it’s hard to envision them agreeing on something as simple as breakfast, let alone a matter of life and death. However, despite appearing stuck, they manage to whittle down their options to Sam, Dylan, or Dolores.
