; Kathy Bates, left, stars as Annie Wilkes, an obsessive fan who rescues romance
novelist Paul Sheldon, played by James Caan, right, and later holds him captive.
i’Misery' combines the best talent of King, Reiner
to give daring, masterful, creative performance
By JACKIE K. COOPER
HHJ Entertainment Critic
Rob Reiner is one of the few
Hollywood directors who knows
how to handle Stephen King mate
rial. He made "Stand By Me,"
which was based on a King short
story, a winning talc of coming of
age in America. And now he has
made King's "Misery" an adventure
in matchmaking of the gruesome
sort.
The fact "Misery" succeeds in any
way is a tribute to Reiner's directo
rial skills, and the acting abilities
of James Caan and Kathy Bates.
These three infuse their screentime
with enough magic to make the bad
limes belter and the good limes
great.
The plot itself is a little thin.
Novelist Paul Sheldon (Caan) is
involved in a car wreck during a
blizzard in Colorado. He is fished
out of the snow by nurse Annie
Wilkes (Bales) who just happens to
be Sheldon's number one fan. An
nie takes Sheldon home for some
unsolicited R and R.
Sheldon has a dislocated shoulder
and two broken legs. In other words
he is immobile. But then he has
Annie and that is all he needs. Or at
"Another 48 hours":
Jackie says It is an
other case of sequel
burnout, gave It a 4.
"Total Recall": Jackie
says awesome, gives It
a winning 8.

least all she needs. For Annie has
plans of her own and that doesn’t
include releasing Paul back to the
outside world. But this reality be
comes known to Paul only in bits
and pieces. Slowly but surely he
realizes Annie is not playing with a
full deck and the joke is sadly on
him.
Not all of the horror of King's
novel is included in the movie but
enough is retained to keep the chills
on the screen. And there is enough
graphic violence to cause even the
most calm of demeanor to jump
with a jolt. Reiner doesn’t have to
use the extremes of King's writing
for impact, he can do it with sus
pense and surprises.
Caan is very effective as the lame
writer. He manages to give Sheldon
the nerve to loss off one-liners as
effectively as he supposedly writes.
And when the role gets physical,
Caan is up to the physical require
ments.
As Annie, Bates is treading Oscar
ground. She is at turns comedian,
ingenue, nurse, and monster. You
never know which face of Annie
Wilkes is going to appear. They
run rampant through her head and
pop out when something does or

doesn't strike her fancy. It is a su
perb performance and I can't imag
ine anyone else playing Annie
Wilkes but Bales.
The supporting cast is also
excellent from the blustering
Richard Farnsworth as the local
sheriff, to the exquisite Lauren Ba
call as Sheldon's literary agent.
These arc little gems of perfor
mance in a gold mine of talent.
The film is rated R for language
and extreme violence.
"Misery" is a strange film to be
in release in lime for Christmas. Its
dark and brooding storyline is not
something the shoppers will want
to dash in to see after spending the
day at the malls. So the box office
clout of "Misery" is a big question
mark. But when Oscar lime rolls
around it is a good bet that Bates
and Reiner will be on the ballot.
And Caan could even make it a
threesome.
If anyone is in the mood for a
horror film with humor this story
of how Paulie met Annie is the
perfect satisfier. Rob Reiner has
become the perfect King filmcr and
with all the King books of horror
wailing in the wings, Reiner could
have quite a long career.
"Robocop 2": Jackie
says the metal man has
still enough novelty to
be entertaining, gives It
a 5.
"Tales from the Dark
side": No real terror but
fun just the same, gives
It a 5. JJ
