Summary: A masterpeice
Review: Having read the book that contained this short story during my high school years, I was amazed that Steven King could write a story that was so good.. Sometimes I feel that he really missed his calling since some of his best work is outside of the horror genre. The book remains to this day one of my favorites. But as much as I like the book, I'm in awe of the movie. The direction and the acting are unequaled in all but a few movies I've seen. Morgan Freeman's acting almost makes me forget about his days as "Easy Reader" back on "The Electric Company". And Tim Robbins I feel is never going to find a role so well suited to his own character. But the best asspect of the film is that a person is able to see it over and over, always gaining something new out of each viewing.

Summary: A Modern Classic
Review: This is a great movie - a modern-day Count of Monte Cristo. If you liked it, go back and read the book.

Summary: An intriguing movie that I could watch over and over.
Review: Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins are splendid together. A incredible story of survival, friendship, and how one man can change the lives of everyone around him. Tim Robbins plays an innocent inmate convicted of killing his wife (although everyone is innocent in Shawshank!) who befriends Morgan Freeman, a man who knows how to get things on the inside. Through his determination and will, Robbins becomes the "accountant" of the prison and with these new relationships with the guards and warden, he wins over friends and trust. Freeman and Robbins become good friends and confide in each other, as Robbins plan is to escape the prison in search for his freedom that he has lost. "Get busy living, or get busy dying." --Words to live by.

Summary: Robbed of Oscar!
Review: This movie was robbed of a Best Picture Oscar in 1994! "Forrest Gump", for all its charm, does not hold a candle to this exquisitely made and acted film about good, evil, and friendship. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are perfect. Also, James Whitmore, in a supporting role, gives the performance of his career. Compelling and highly memorable. One of the greats of the decade.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Great stuff. Can't explain it! Just watch

Summary: A wonderful essay in compassion, joy and hope.
Review: It is surely a sign of the times that the mediocre romp, FORREST GUMP, should have elipsed SHAWSHANK. It is a certainty that SHAWSHANK will be about enthralling viewers long after FORREST has been dumped.
