"Hope is a dangerous thing" -The Shawshank Redemption (the excellent & excruciating w/o)

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line is spending a life sentence in the hole.
Review: When I was twelve years old, I read my first book by Stephen King. Being more or less nocturnal, I always found myself deep into The Shining in the middle of the night. At the time we had a new kitten that delighted in jumping onto my bed under the...

A Redeeming Movie

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a must see for viewers who love prison movies.
Review: This opinion shares some minor details about the movie in order to leave as much enjoyment and discovery as possible for the new viewer.

Imagine if you will, what it would be like to be sent to prison to serve two consecutive life terms...

Shawshank Redemption: A Prison Movie and So Much More

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: With some great twists and turns in a familiar plot, this movie took me on a wild ride of emotions. The casting is perfect.
Review: Shawshank Redemption is one of those films I'd heard about for quite some time, but never got around to seeing. It wasn't like I had anything against the film, I just never had come across it on television when I was in the mood for a film, nor had...

A Testament to the Power of the Human Spirit

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
The Bottom Line: This is a must-see as it will remind you how blessed freedom is and how strong the powerful will to live can be.
Review: There are few movies that touch your soul and leave their impression on you long after you've finished watching. Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies that takes hold of your mind and heart and leaves its residue lingering long afterwords. The...

This Movie is a Repeat Watcher

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2000
The Bottom Line: Gotta see this one
Review: I watched this movie the first time because I liked the story line that was previewed on the television commercials when this movie was in the theaters. I usually watch everything that Morgan Freeman is in and when I saw that he was playing opposite...

The Price of Redemption

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: The voice of Stephen King combined with the outstanding acting of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, a winning combination.
Review: Andy Dufresne (Dufrain) has been guilty of many things before arriving at Shawshank prison, committed for the murder of his wife and her lover. "I don't think I showed her how much I loved her, he tells Red, a fellow prisonmate, about halfway...

Excellent!

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2000
Review: I found this movie on accident while channel surfing several years ago. It was on HBO. I stopped and checked it out as nothing else was on. I ened up watching the rest of the show and loved it. It was a week or so later before I caught the whole...

Almost as Long as a Prison Sentence: Shawshank Redemption

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: Competent first effort for Darabont, torpedoed by l-e-n-g-t-h and merely adequate performance by Freeman. Maybe the director's cut will edit 30 minutes of dead space out? We can only hope...
Review: Put your faith in the Lord. Your *$$ belongs to me. Warden Samuel Norton

Shawshank is a prison, somewhere in Maine. The protagonist, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), is wrongly sent up with a double life sentence for murder of his wife and her...

The Shawshank Redemption --- Written by Stephen King, Starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: One of the best movies I have ever seen, The Shawshank Redemption is a great story surrounding the inmates of a Maine prison.
Review: These walls are kind of funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. They send you here for life, that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyways. --...
