Firestarter 720p Torrent-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/r2t4w -----------------------------------------A couple who participated in a potent medical experiment gain telekinetic ability and then have a child who is pyrokinetic.This is a thriller about a child who has the amazing ability of pyrokinesis, and her father, who also has the ability make people do what he wants. A secret government agency known as "The Shop" led by Captain Hollister and John Rainbird plot to kidnap the duo for testing their abilities. Can this power and the love of her father stop this sinister agency before all hell breaks loose?Psychological and psychedelic testing produce some amazing results. Now those results are walking and talking and very unhappy with the agency who created it.
Delightfully triumphant, wonderfully destructive forces are about to be tapped, honed and unleashed against the government who has created and now hopes to utilize these frightening powers upon the world.
Charlie McGee (Drew Barrymore at the age of 9) is the product of psychological and psychedelic drug experiments performed by the US government upon her parents before her conception.
After witnessing the murder of her mother, she and her father are on the run from the mysterious bunch of gun-carrying miscreants known only as "the Agency."
Her father (David Keith) is also a telepath as a result of these experiments, who enjoys telekinetic abilities as well. These abilities help, but not well enough.
Will Charlie be able to save her father? Herself? Will they make it through this, or be forever torn apart by the Firestarter?
Excellent movie. Excellent performances by Drew Barrymore (if a little hesitant and deliberate at times), George C. Scott (hated, Hated, HATED his character!! that must mean he played it very very well *lol*), Martin Sheen and David Keith.
The effects were quite good, though in post-StarWars 1984, I had hoped for better; as was the plot and storyline.
As Stephen King adaptations go, it varied from the book just enough to make it one of the FEW adaptations of King's work through which I don't find myself cringing.
It gets a solid 8/10 from...
the Fiend :.The script for Firestarter is a tolerable adaptation of the novel. It keeps intact the major plot elements, story sequence, settings, characters, and much of the key dialogue. A few minor changes don't affect the story, though untidied remnants of excised plot and characters muddle it a bit. Few novel adaptations are as faithful, at least as to structure.
That tepid compliment is the only one I can pay Firestarter. The script adaptation is faithful to what it includes, but what it omits leaves the story leaden. The movie has no use for the novel's depth and finesse. Character depth is absent. Relationships among the characters are cartoonish. The true terror of black-ops government is reduced to "People from The Shop are bad." The science of pyrokinesis, telepathic mental dominance, and pharmaceutical brain alteration -- key elements of the novel's power -- remain only in bits of dialogue.
There's no finesse from the cast either. Their performances, even George C. Scott's, are uniformly dead. Martin Sheen hadn't yet come into his own. Drew Barrymore wasn't up to her role; the cuteness she brought to "E.T." was inadequate for Firestarter. Brian Keith hasn't the talent for a lead role; he should never have been cast. The acting is painful to watch, and the movie drags from start to finish.
It's always tough to judge how effective a movie's score will be, but Tangerine Dream was a terrible artistic choice. Their music is suitable for a mood movie like Blade Runner, but painfully dissonant for a thriller -- as painful to hear as the acting is to watch.
You'd think that a thriller about pyrokinesis would at least have some good fire and explosion effects, yes? Especially when it's made in the same year as Return of the Jedi, with the same special-effects technology available, yes? Sorry, no luck there either. Visual effects are primitive to pathetic, sweeping away whatever suspension of disbelief the viewer has left.
My only real pleasure in Firestarter was, as a reader familiar with the novel, seeing the story and characters that I knew brought to life, however imperfectly. The nine year-old Drew Barrymore's cuteness was still appealing, though inadequate, and she showed a quality of intensity that got my attention. For those two things, I rate the movie 3/10.Fortunately, he has an ace up his sleeve with 9-year-old actress Drew Barrymore: the movie might easily be retitled The Scene Stealer. Barrymore's performance as Charlie McGee has something of the pint-sized coquetry of a Shirley Temple, and something of the shoulders-back, chin- in-the-air hauteur of a Bette Davis, but she seems incapable of hitting a false, precocious or calculating note. She virtually acts her co-stars off the screen. [14 May 1984]Nine-year-old Charlene "Charlie" McGee (Drew Barrymore) has the ability to start fires with her mind thanks to an experiment in which her parents were given a chemical called LOT-6 when they were in college. The experiments were conducted by a secret governmental organization known as the "Shop", and the Shop is super interested in studying Charlie's ability for use as a military weapon. When they go so far as to kill Charlie's mother to get at Charlie, her father Andy (David Keith), who has the ability to influence minds, takes Charlie on the run. Not to be deterred, the Shop sends "exterminator" John Rainbird (George C. Scott) to apprehend and bring them in, at any cost. Firestarter (1980) was written by American horror novelist Stephen King. The novel was adapted for the movie by Canadian-born screenwriter Stanley Mann. Firestarter was followed by a made-for-TV sequel, Firestarter 2: Rekindled (2002) (2002). In the novel, Dr. Wanless (Freddie Jones) describes Lot Six as "a synthetic copy of a pituitary extract, a powerful painkiller-hallucinogen that we did not understand then and that we don't understand now." One thing they do know, he says, is that "Lot Six somehow changed the physical composition of the pituitary glands of those who participated in the experiment" and that "Lot Six was responsible in some way for the occasional flashes of psi ability that nearly all human beings demonstrate from time to time." According to the novel, the Shop is really the Department of Scientific Intelligence. They claim to be involved in domestic scientific projects related to national security, e.g., electromagnetic energy and fusion power, but they're also conducting secret experiments on people with certain parapsychological abilities that might be useful as weapons. Andy forces Captain Hollister (Martin Sheen) to get a message to Charlie, telling her to meet him in the stables at 8 PM. Charlie shares this good news with her friend John. When Andy and Charlie meet in the stables, John is already there, hiding in the loft. Charlie is glad when she finds that John is there, but Andy has been warned by Hollister that it was John who shot them and who has been tricking Charlie to cooperate. Charlie threatens to burn down the stables, but John warns that she'll kill the horses, so she backs off. Charlie begins to climb up to the loft but Andy pulls her down. He then forces John to jump, but John shoots Andy in the shoulder as he lands. He then turns the gun on Charlie, but she burns bullet, gun, and John. With his dying breath, Andy tells Charlie to burn down the Shop so that they can't do anything like this again. As the barn begins to flame, Charlie frees the horses and heads outside where she sends fireball after fireball, burning everything cars, helicopters, and buildings. Shop agents try shooting her, but Charlie burns the bullets before they even reach her. When the entire compound is on fire, Charlie walks away, saying, "For you, Daddy." In the final scene, Charlie arrives at the Manders' farm. Norma (Louise Fletcher) takes Charlie into her arms and Irv (Art Carney) is shown accompanying Charlie into the New York Times building, presumably to go public with her story. No. This is one movie in which Stephen King does not have a cameo. a5c7b9f00b http://telegra.ph/Dance-Craze-Movie-In-Hindi-Free-Download-09-18 https://www.causes.com/posts/4970098 http://www.nookl.com/article/337189/a-diamond-disappeared-in-the-hong-kong-night-sky-telugu-full-movie-download http://www.rainiukas.lt/en/news/view/id/286034 http://www.mazeikiugyvunai.lt/en/news/view/id/286043 https://www.causes.com/posts/4970099 https://pastebin.com/sFA3PEUT https://pastebin.com/xGKVSAHU http://dicibel.jugem.jp/?eid=284 https://pastebin.com/0rqiDexe
