I don't watch many movies, and I'm always hesitant to watch a movie derived from a book I have or am expecting to read. I hearken back to the days when I was still reading Stephen King (before he became such a rabid purveyor of propaganda) and would watch a movie based on one of his books, coming away from the experience with a flat, tasteless feeling in my soul.
That being said, I have to say that I really enjoyed the movie Odd Thomas, based on Dean Koontz's book by the same name, even though it was necessary to condense the plot significantly in order to prevent it from becoming a maxi-mini-series. At least it allowed me to put a face on Odd, Stormy, and those nasty things whose names I can't remember offhand. (Or maybe I do remember, just don't want to name them in case they decide to turn their attention in my direction.)
