Michael Ledo Pierce Bronson plays Michael Noonan, a New England author, in a continuing of Stephen King's write about things you are series. When is wife, who he truly loved, dies, he is drawn to their lake home. Noonan has nightmares about his wife in the final scene of "Quarantine". At the lake home he inadvertently gets involved in a local drama and discovers some small town secrets that frankly would make a good novel, which BTW he has to write.I enjoyed the simple ghostly images and hauntings. Noonan takes the paranormal in stride as he tries to uncover more about the illness known as Dark Score Crazy which causes people to drown their daughters. What is unfortunate is any Stephen King fan can watch the film and see where the master has done this before. For instance when we see the computer screen with the same line written over and over, one can not help think about "The Shining." The question begs: Does King want us to think about "The Shining" and give us a clue that Noonan is crazy or is it a deliberate misdirection? Or maybe King is starting to recycle old trunk novels as does the writer in the story. Outside of Noonan, the characters were poorly developed, especially considering the length of the film.While I enjoyed the film, I have come to expect more from Stephen King.Made for TV. Includes a rape scene.

Cleo Woolley Now hang on just a minute. Give this film a break! I'm a huge Stephen King fan, and there are many adaptations of his books which I think are MUCH worse than this. In fact, I disliked the majority of films based on his books, bar a few. Yet I found myself really liking this. OK so Pierce Brosnan is a bit weird as Mike Noonan, but otherwise I think this film is a generally good one.Obviously some things are going to be changed for the purpose of making it a movie (I can't think of a film that is EXACTLY the same), and often films have had huge bits missed out/added and nobody complains. Overall this film sticks pretty close to the original storyline and still maintains some of the little details that you would think might be missed out.If you're a Stephen King snob you might have problems with this film, although I myself am one and still enjoyed this film. Give it a chance, you might like it.

leonblackwood Review: I found this mini series to be pretty boring and I lost interest after the first part. It doesn't really piece together until the last 15 minutes and then it all seems a bit rushed. Pierce Brosnan puts in a good performance but its just the slow pace of the whole thing that made my mind switch off. All the way through the series he is in and out of the dream world, which I found pretty annoying. There isn't much of a cast so you just end up watching Brosnan going around trying to piece his dreams together. For a 2 part series that is nearly 2 hours long, it really needed to get going after the first part. Disappointing!Round-Up: Since Pierce Brosnan has stopped being Bond, he only seems to do movies that he finds challenging and I'm sure that this role looked good on paper, but I just couldn't get into it. I'm not the biggest Stephen King fan so I wasn't expecting that much. Because of the rushed ending, I did get a bit confused with what was going on, so I can't really comment on the series as a whole. I think that it would have made a better movie than a series because there was a lot of unnecessary material which could have easily been cut.Budget: $15million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who like there paranormal dramas based around a town with a dark history. 2/10

Claudio Carvalho The bestseller writer Mike Noonan (Pierce Brosnan) is autographing his new release in a bookstore and his beloved wife, the painter Jo Noonan (Annabeth Gish), goes to a store on the other side of the street to buy a pregnant test. When she is crossing the street back to the bookstore, a bus run over her and she does not survive. Mike grieves the loss of his wife and decides to go to the house by the Dark Score Lake, in Maine, that he had inherited from his grandfather and Jo had spent a long time repairing it. Mike starts to drink and suspects that Jo might have betrayed him since his sperm counting indicates that he is sterile. In the isolated house, Mike has nightmares and believes that Jo is trying to contact him. He also has daydreams and ghostly visions with the jazz singer Sara Tidwell (Anika Noni Rose) in a local fair in 1939. Mike stumbles in the town with Mattie (Melissa George) and her daughter Kyra Devore (Caitlin Carmichael) and he discovers that the powerful and mean Max Devore (William Schallert) is disputing the custody of his granddaughter Kyra with Mattie. Further he discovers that there is a curse in Dark Score Lake due a despicable action of Max in 1939. Mike decides to help Mattie against Max and to investigate further the mysterious curse."Bag of Bones" is a dark tale of evilness and curse in a town in Maine. The supernatural story is very well constructed along 157 minutes running time and is a combination of drama, thriller and horror. I did not read the novel by Stephen King but I liked this TV mini-series. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Saco de Ossos" ("Bag of Bones")
