	CHILDREN OF THE CORN was supposed to open on 9 March (I even saw tv ads
to that effect), but it failed to open then. According to mail I got from a
fellow King fan on the net, it's been rescheduled for April 27 (2 weeks before
FIRESTARTER).
	I agree that in general, the movies based on King material have been
fairly lackluster. CARRIE was the best (even better than the book, which I
thought rather mediocre); THE SHINING was very good/scary, but a poor adaptation
of the novel; CUJO and CHRISTINE, while not as rich as the books, were reason-
ably good; 'SALEM'S LOT and THE DEAD ZONE was poor; CREEPSHOW had its moments.
	I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if CHILDREN OF THE CORN turns out decent-
ly (but then, I never expected that I'd like CUJO). FIRESTARTER I'm really look-
ing forward to.
