"Secret Window" movie - thoughts (no spoilers)

Saw it, must say it was better than I anticipated, but I anticipated it being bad, don't like most Stephen King adaptations.
The ending is clever, built up to it, nice surprise. Good writing, good storytelling, but overall I thought it could be better. Just not worth the $8.00 to me, shoulda gone at matinee prices.
Missed its potential.
My rating: decent rental with some popcorn.

yeah, stupid local theaters. Take the girl and suddenly it's a $16 night. Luckily she sprang for the large Coke, another $4 rip-off.
Now you see why I usually wait for the movie to come out, and buy the DVD, cheaper than taking a date to the theater.
