CM's DVD joint o' the week

I'm not a huge Steven King guy, but dude is pretty fuckin' good. Thinner (1996) is available at http://www.amazon.com/ for about $8. Y'know how movies get different titles overseas? If this one was released in Gypsylvania, it would be called The Curse of the White Man from Town. A recurring theme on this sure to fail cyber segment is the fact that it has a little something fo' everybody: Mobsters (Joe Montegne), Gypsies (including cancer face here (Mike Constantine) and a cute lil' Gyp hooker (Kari Wuhrer) who will spit as often as she can), heavy food and sex play, old world curses, and the always delicious revenge fantasy. A really old Gypsy (Constantine) places a curse on a lawyer (Robert Burke) and away we go. If only to hear the ol' Gyp up top drop a "white man from town" blast on the white man from town, Thinner is an enjoyable viewing.
