Best Stephen King movie adaptations, ranked (including 'The Life of Chuck')
Best Stephen King movie adaptations, ranked (including 'The Life of Chuck') Show Caption Hide Caption 'The Life of Chuck': Tom Hiddleston headlines Stephen King movie Based on a Stephen King novella, "The Life of Chuck" chronicles the life of accountant Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) in three acts told in reverse. Love movies? Live for TV? USA TODAY's Watch Party newsletter has all the best recommendations, delivered right to your inbox. Sign up now and be one of the cool kids. Almost as long as that legendary master of horror Stephen King has been keeping book lovers up at night, filmmakers have been adapting his novels and short stories. Which means there have been some stone-cold classics ("The Shining," anyone?) and more than a few clunkers. For every "The Dark Tower," there's an "It" – though we got two of those, both of them good. So is the new one: Director Mike Flanagan's uplifting film "The Life of Chuck" (in theaters now), based on the novella from King's "If It Bleeds" collection, stars Tom Hiddleston as the title character whose life story gets told in reverse chronological order. It's a pretty big 2025 for King and his Constant Readers. The year has already seen the release of "The Monkey," and this fall brings dystopian thriller "The Long Walk" (Sept. 12) – with Mark Hamill torturing quite a few members of young Hollywood – and Edgar Wright's new take on "The Running Man" (Nov. 7) starring Glen Powell. And on the book front, King's latest novel "Never Flinch" is new in stores while "Hansel & Gretel," his children's book with Maurice Sendak, is out Sept. 2. In honor of "Chuck," here are the most essential King movies, ranked: 15. 'Gerald's Game' (2017) Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood play a couple who go on a romantic getaway to rekindle their marriage. The wife gets handcuffed to the bed, hubby has a heart attack, there are no neighbors to call and she struggles to maintain her sanity in a stressful situation. (Also, good luck trying to unsee the super-duper creepy Moonlight Man.) Where to watch: Netflix. 14. 'The Running Man' (1987) So what if this futuristic action flick isn't exactly faithful to the '82 King book (written as Richard Bachman)? It's an enjoyable time watching Arnold Schwarzenegger as a framed military man on a brutally deadly game show, tackling over-the-top bruisers and TV host baddie Richard Dawson in a movie that's more WrestleMania than social satire. Where to watch: Paramount+, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 13. 'The Monkey' (2025) Gory and gloriously absurd, the horror comedy stars Theo James in a dual role as twins who thought they got rid of a cursed monkey toy when they were kids until it comes back into their lives and brings a whole heap of bloody death. Sure, it's extremely demented, but this wacky film also has something deep to say about mortality. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 12. 'The Green Mile' (1999) The sentimental prison drama based on King's serial novel gets its hooks in thanks to the one-two emotional punch of Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan. Hanks plays a death row prison guard who doesn't know what to make of a gentle but enigmatic giant (Duncan), convicted of murdering two girls, who exhibits strange abilities. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 11. '1408' (2007) In the most underrated King movie, a supernatural skeptic (John Cusack) who writes about haunted places takes interest in the legendarily creepy room of a New York high-rise. It's astoundingly kooky but also a thoughtful study of cynicism and belief. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 10. 'Doctor Sleep' (2019) Ewan McGregor stars in "The Shining" sequel as a grown-up Danny Torrance, decades past surviving the horrors at the Overlook Hotel, now sober after years of alcoholism and helping a young psychic girl (Kyliegh Curran). It mines familiar ground by carrying over "Shining" themes and characters, but it's best going its own way as a reluctant hero's journey. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 9. 'Stand by Me' (1986) King is as much a master of Americana as he is frights, and Rob Reiner's coming-of-age tale of four misfits and their adventures to find a dead body is top notch at capturing the unbreakable bond of friendship and the fleeting nature of childhood innocence. Where to watch: Paramount+, Pluto TV, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 8. 'The Mist' (2007) How do you make a King novella even more bleak? Director Frank Darabont manages to do that rather well with this story of small-town Maine folks stuck in a supermarket, thanks to a mysterious mist and monstrous hidden creatures outside. Come for the paranoia and tribalism, stay for the gut-punch ending. Where to watch: Paramount+, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 7. 'Misery' (1990) A modern take might have nutty Annie Wilkes making a TikTok or simply sliding into the DMs of author Paul Sheldon to profess her fandom but it wouldn't have been so malevolently perfect as this pre-Internet chiller. Kathy Bates earns her Oscar and then some, taking Annie's terrifying adoration for James Caan's Sheldon to a disturbing, hide-your-eyes level. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 6. 'The Dead Zone' (1983) Christopher Walken is a psychic schoolteacher who 'sees' someone's secrets if he touches them, including a vision of a nuclear holocaust after shaking the hand of a senatorial candidate (Martin Sheen). More than 40 years later, the film's political bent seems timelier than ever. Where to watch: Pluto TV, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 5. 'Carrie' (1976) Sissy Spacek exudes quiet, tortured grace as a teenager just blossoming into womanhood, leading to bullying from classmates and her abusively religious mom (Piper Laurie). The last 30 minutes is a jaw-dropping transformation from childhood innocence to murderous hysteria. Where to watch: Max, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 4. 'It' (2017) Taking the friendship stuff from "Stand by Me" and weaving in a deliciously evil clown in a poufy wardrobe, "It" works magic on a lot of different levels and leaves you desperately seeking more Pennywise. Warning: May not be for those skeeved out by buckets of blood shooting out of a sink. Where to watch: Max, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 3. 'The Life of Chuck' (2025) A more life-affirming, dance-filled Stephen King movie than you probably expect. Featuring Tom Hiddleston as a businessman with some sweet moves, it's a proudly unconventional flick that begins with the end of the world and ends with a haunted attic, and everything in between is a thought-provoking delight. Where to watch: In theaters. 2. 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1994) There's not much scary here other than some jail guards. Instead, what makes "Shawshank" an all-timer is the core friendship of two inmates (played by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman) who figure out they'd better 'get busy living or get busy dying." Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 1. 'The Shining' (1980) King notoriously disliked Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, but it's the best of the entire lot. Come for the infamous scenes – 'Heeeeere's Johnny,' anyone? – and stay for the exceptional exploration of isolation, one man's descent into madness, and the terrifying effect on his family. Where to watch: Max, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home.

It's a Father's Day Father of Mine giveaway weekend
Michael Holley has spoken. The once-per-week PFT Live co-host has read Father of Mine. And he likes it. He shared a surprise review of the book during Friday's PFT Live season finale. (The video is attached to this blurb.) You can get the ebook for a mere 99 cents on Amazon. It's an incredible bargain. A stupidly low price. It's the continuation of a misguided New Year's resolution to make the Father of Mine and Son of Mine ebooks available for less than a dollar for all of 2025. I don't care about the money, obviously. The goal is to give you something to fill the space between football games. And with fewer than three months to go until the next football season starts, you can pass the time by diving into both books. And since it's Father's Day weekend, I'll be giving away three signed copies of the print edition. Send an email to florio@ with this subject line: 'Father's Day weekend 2025 giveaway.' I'll get them signed and stuffed and sent later this week. Send the email. Download the ebooks. Take it from Michael Holley.

31 Cheap Things From Amazon's "Most Wished For" Section
Psst! Did you know Amazon has a section called "Most Wished For" that's filled with products fellow shoppers are currently adding to their wishlists? From parenting must-haves to new beauty favorites, here are some items to add to your cart (or wish list) ASAP! Suction cup knobs that are about to completely change your bathroom storage game. The twist-and-lock design can easily adhere to glass, plastic, mirror, or porcelain surfaces — and it holds up to 15 pounds! You can also easily remove them and place them in a new area as many times as you want, so your loofah knobs can become your hand towel knobs with ease. A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers — wait, how long have these been a thing?! Do you know how many markers child-me had to toss because the cap went rolling under the stove, never to be seen again?! Well, today's kids (and kids at heart) can simply give these a satisfying click once they're done coloring, and today's parents can rest assured that these markers will last through dozens of arts and crafts sessions. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish that dries more quickly than... actually, it already dried before I could think of a clever example!! One minute is all it takes — yes, just 60 seconds — to get a fully-dried veil of vibrant color that'll help you hold off on that expensive gel set you've been meaning to get. The new NeeDoh "Dream Pop" fidget toy from the makers of the wildly popular Needoh Nice Cube (which went triple platinum on last year's Stocking Stuffer charts). You can squeeze and stretch this all you want, then watch it return to its original shape. It even comes with a cute stand so it'll be ready to grab any time you need a fidget break. A pack of duster sponges some reviewers say are even better than the often-sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster (also, why isn't it called the Dust Daddy?!) This is perfect for that annoying caked-on dust that a typical dry duster can't tackle — just dampen it, swipe, then rinse to reuse. Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment that's truly a multitasking marvel. You can use it as an in-shower conditioner by applying it to clean hair and rinsing out after three minutes, or you can apply it as a leave-in treatment for all-day moisture that won't weigh your curls down. A Dash single-serve ice cream maker — it can whip up a half-pint of creamy goodness in 20 minutes. Oh, and it's not just for ice cream — it can also make froyo, sorbets, and frozen drinks! Reviewers say it seems awfully similar to the Ninja Creami, except it takes up way less space while saving you around $100. A super absorbent Muddy Mat to stop dirty paw prints in their tracks! It may look like a simple doormat, but pet owners say this one actually traps dirt and water from their pup's paws when coming back inside on rainy days. Oh, and it also works on kids/spouses/roomies/etc. who simply can't be bothered to wipe their feet off. Just take deep breaths, the Muddy Mat has you covered. And a beloved duck-shaped crinkle squeaker that has me convinced dogs know how to use Amazon when we're not looking — because how else did this end up on so many wishlists?! Pups will love investigating the mysterious squeak, while pup parents will love the fact that it won't leave stuffing all over your home. An absolutely genius trash bag dispenser so you can ditch the flimsy cardboard box they come in. Simply place it on your counter or mount it to the wall — but don't be surprised if you suddenly start looking for excuses to take out the trash. A Frida Baby rinse cup that's on basically every parent's wishlist for making bath time an absolute breeze. The spout creates a gentle rainfall effect to help make the rinsing process less overwhelming for babies who are a bit suspicious of this whole H2O business. You can also use the other side for a slightly heavier "waterfall" pour that's still gentle enough for even the fussiest toddler. I'm gonna be honest with you, reader — this looks so relaxing I kind of want one for myself. And a set of wrist and sock rattles — they'll get all their kicks and stretchies in, and a bit of sensory exploration while rattling their hearts out. I'm gonna be honest yet again, reader — I would absolutely buy an adult size of these. Medicube's collagen jelly that reviewers say has a "glass skin" effect that's nothing less than spellbinding. The hydrolyzed collagen is formulated to be easily absorbed by your skin, which helps hydrate and might even add a slight plumping effect to really emphasize your ~glow~ for the day. And the jelly consistency is just plain fun. A pair of sandals with a foam footbed so soft and supportive it'll remind you of your fave yoga mat. The fabric laces will keep the top of your feet just as comfy as your soles — and make you officially swear off the cheap rubber flip-flops that break after taking 2.5 steps in them. In fact, they might even make you say sayonara to the way-pricier Sanuks. 👀 The Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 on those busy mornings when you need to look like you got a full eight hours of sleep. It's meant to blend seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles. And an eye cream from mega popular K-beauty brand Beauty of Joseon — it features retinol to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and niacinamide to brighten. Dab it on as part of your night routine, or swipe some on before applying your go-to concealer for an even base. And!!! Grace & Stella eye masks to help brighten and depuff the dark circles that have had your under-eyes in a chokehold since college. Pick up the blue "illuminating" formula to help brighten under-eyes (thanks to the niacinamide!) the yellow "Energizing" formula to help smooth fine lines (thanks to sea moss!), or the pink "Moisturizing" formula to help add extra moisture. (Thanks to hyaluronic acid!) Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask that works overnight to refresh your skin. No, really, it's designed to be worn while you sleep — it's transfer-resistant, so it won't leave a mess on your pillow! It's infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, collagen to maximize absorption and minimize the appearance of pores, and probiotics to strengthen the skin's barrier. Best of all, it turns transparent when your skin is done absorbing the serum, so you'll know when it's ready to take off. A pair of leggings with a double-take-worthy price and a jaw-dropping 17,000+ rave ratings. According to reviewers, these are comfy with just the right amount of stretch, and they're thin enough for warm weather but thick enough to pair with a jacket in the fall. We love a wardrobe staple that'll take us through several seasons! An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that's specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great option for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes! A pair of rounded square aviator sunglasses to add a retro-chic vibe to all of your outfits. They're so lightweight you might forget you're even wearing them, but the influx of "Where did you get those?!" comments will remind you! A satin bonnet so silky smooth it's inspired more than 10,000 reviewers to leave a 5-star rating. Those satisfied reviewers love that it's super soft (yes, the inside is also lined with satin!) and roomy enough for long hair. And all my fellow hot sleepers will be relieved to know it's breathable enough to wear all night long! A set of four art prints to add a bit of greenery to your space without needing a green thumb. The vibrant artwork is printed on high-quality paper with an embossed linen texture. All you have to do is supply some 8x10 frames and decide whether to hang them together or split them up between different rooms! A pair of rechargeable motion sensor lights so you can finally see exactly which Little Debbie you're reaching for in the pantry when that late-night snack craving hits. They're also great for closets, under cabinets, or even illuminating the shelves holding your exquisite Lego Flower collection. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that'll make scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds! A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away! A stain treater spray so effective that you'll remain suspiciously calm the next time your tot's chocolate milk makes its way from their sippy cup to the couch cushion. Or when your glass of merlot faces a similar fate. Just spray, blot, rinse, and pour another. A cropped tank top sports bra that has rave reviews for providing support without skimping on comfort. It features removable cups for a more customized feel, and the sweat-wicking material makes it perfect for intense workouts. Reviewers say it's a way cheaper alternative for Lululemon's similar style, so future you will be so glad you saved some coin. A nifty strainer you can attach to the side of your pot so you'll never burn yourself while awkwardly straining into a colander ever again. Imagine not having to wash a bulky full-size colander every time you cook pasta!!! It's flexible enough to fit on a wide array of pot sizes, and reviewers say the clamps keep is firmly in place — so no need to worry about your tortellini taking a tumble into the sink. A crevice cleaning tool reviewers are raving over thanks to its comfortable nonslip handle and elongated bristles that are perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, like window tracks, keyboards, toilet seats, grout, and the very scary nastiness that's lurking around your faucet. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that gives brands like Bath and Body Works and Philosophy a run for their money. Not only does it smell like a caramel-vanilla dream, but it also includes shea butter and shea oil for a light touch of moisture that won't take 3,000 years to absorb.
