THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET
Last year, to mark the silver anniversary of this inspirational film based on the Stephen King novella, Mark Dawidziak wrote a well-researched book titled The Shawshank Redemption Revealed: How One Story Keeps Hope Alive. It explains how director and screenwriter Frank Darabont, and actors Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, absolutely nailed their respective attempts to bring King’s story and characters to the screen. Have you seen The Shawshank Redemption before? If you’re reading this website and concerned about quality entertainment, almost certainly. Should you watch it again now, at this exact moment in time? Absolutely.
