Every Stephen King Movie, Ranked
Get ready for hours of terror.

Stephen King's birthday is September 21—so what better time than the present to watch some of the many, many movies adapted from the King of Horror's work? However, choosing one of Stephen King's cinematic adaptations can be a daunting task. After all, IMDb credits him as writer on a whopping 300+ movies, short films, miniseries, and TV shows. With so many Stephen King movies to pick from, where do you start?
Not to worry! We've taken the guesswork out by ranking 45 of Stephen King's movies from worst to best. How'd we narrow down the list? We stuck to feature adaptations (so no TV shows or miniseries) and went with the list that King provides on his own website, meaning that you won't find flicks that he has famously disavowed like The Lawnmower Man—in case you're wondering why it's not hovering at the sorry end of the list. Including both screenplays written by King himself and flicks loosely based on his source material, these are the best Stephen King movies, ranked.

45. Dolan's Cadillac (2009)

Christian Slater and Wes Bentley star in this turgid daylight crime thriller adapted from a King novella that probably didn't have enough flesh on its bones for a feature-length picture, even in the best of hands.

44. Riding the Bullet (2004)

Mick Garris is an old hand at adapting Stephen King, usually to the small screen. So it may not be any wonder that 2004's Riding the Bullet feels like a TV movie, rather than a feature film.
43. Cell (2016)

Stephen King co-wrote the screenplay of this 2016 film from the director of Paranormal Activity 2, starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson—who had previously appeared together in the superior 1408. None of that's enough to save this limp apocalyptic flick about cell phones turning people into mindless zombies (a little on the nose, Stephen).
42. Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
The screenplay for Hearts in Atlantis was written by The Princess Bride's own William Goldman—who had previously penned a much better King adaptation, 1990's Misery—and stars none other than Anthony Hopkins and a very young Anton Yelchin. Ultimately, Hearts in Atlantis suffers from a cardinal movie sin in that it's not bad so much as just forgettable.

41. Dreamcatcher (2003)
Dreamcatcher, on the other hand, is many things, but forgettable is not one of them. With another screenplay by Goldman and directed by Lawrence Kasdan, writer of such films as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back, this big-budget adaptation boasts a cast that includes Morgan Freeman, King regular Thomas Jane, and Timothy Olyphant. Unfortunately, it also features a convoluted story, aliens that come out of peoples' butts, and one of King's signature offensive tropes: mentally disabled characters with magic powers.
40. Secret Window (2004)

In 2004, Johnny Depp was riding high on his success as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, a character who hadn't yet worn out his welcome, while writer/director David Koepp had recently given us the much better Stir of Echoes. So there's no excuse for Secret Window to be such a bland retread of territory done better in The Dark Half.

39. The Night Flier (1997)

A minor vampire movie that went all but straight to video, The Night Flier is salvaged from utter obscurity by its meanness, its odd-looking vampire, and some memorable set pieces.
38. Thinner (1996)
With the creator of Fright Night and Child's Play at the helm, Stephen King's Thinner should have been well-positioned to be another classic. And it's certainly stranger than its fairly simple premise suggests. Unfortunately, it's undone by its insensitive approach to obesity and its stereotyped depictions of Romani characters.
37. Sleepwalkers (1992)
From an original screenplay by King and helmed by frequent collaborator Mick Garris, this bizarro flick about incestuous, vampire-like demons who can only be killed by the scratch of a cat is salvaged mainly by how strikingly unusual the whole premise is—and also that it features cameos by the likes of Joe Dante, John Landis, and Clive Barker.

36. The Dark Tower (2017)
When it comes to long-awaited Stephen King adaptations, they don't come much more disappointing than The Dark Tower. Even if this Idris Elba flick was otherwise fine, it's just impossible to cram enough of King's world-spanning dark fantasy saga into a movie that barely crests 90 minutes.
35. Mercy (2014)
Photo Credit: Universal Pictures
Adapted from King's short story "Gramma" and released by Blumhouse, this flick about a single mom and her two kids taking care of a grandparent with mystical powers didn't make the splash that the production company was probably hoping for.

34. A Good Marriage (2014)

King himself wrote the screenplay for this film based on the real-life story of the BTK killer. A Good Marriage should have all the makings of a classic Hitchcockian thriller, but the results—in spite of some impressive performances from the leads—lack the tension they should have carried.
33. Cat's Eye (1985)
Photo Credit: MGM/UA Entertainment Co.
Just who the heck was the anthology film Cat's Eye even made for? Two of its two adapted stories—the James Woods-starring "Quitters, Inc." and "The Ledge"—are both particularly vicious contes cruel. It makes for an uncomfortable juxtaposition with the third story, a tale about a tomcat who protects a young Drew Barrymore from a minuscule troll.
32. Creepshow 2 (1987)
Photo Credit: New World Pictures
Given its other two relatively inert segments, Creepshow 2 would rank a lot lower on this list if it weren't for the visceral horror of one particular segment. No one who has seen "The Raft"—a tale about some acidic goop on the surface of a lake that traps a group of swimmers—is likely to forget it.

31. The Running Man (1987)
Photo Credit: TriStar Pictures
It may be a nice, thick slice of mid-80s cheese, but as an adaptation of a Stephen King novel written under the pen name Richard Bachman, this Arnold Schwarzenegger picture has almost nothing in common with the novel on which it is based.
30. Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Photo Credit: De Laurentiis Entertainment Group
Stephen King's name is on a lot of movies, but he only ever directed one of them. And given the supreme goofiness of Maximum Overdrive—a film that, by King's own admission, he was coked to the gills while helming—there may be a reason for that.
29. Firestarter (1984)
With a cast that includes a young Drew Barrymore in the lead, not to mention Heather Locklear, Martin Sheen, George C. Scott, and Art Carney, Firestarter was almost directed by John Carpenter. If it had been, it would probably be higher on this list…
28. Apt Pupil (1998)
Directed by Bryan Singer before he started making X-Men movies, this is another mean-spirited King adaptation that feels very much of its moment. It's tough to imagine a movie about a high school student befriending a Nazi war criminal being made today…and maybe that's a good thing.

Sure, the short story is better—and scarier—but if you can get past that, there are some chills to be had in this altogether-too-slick story in which John Cusack plays a skeptical writer holed up in a haunted hotel room.
26. In the Tall Grass (2019)
Photo Credit: Netflix
Stephen King co-wrote the novella this film is based on with his son and fellow horror star Joe Hill. The result, with Splice director Vincenzo Natali at the helm, is a creepily recursive movie about two siblings getting lost in an impossibly vast field of tall grass.

25. Needful Things (1993)
It's got Max von Sydow and a vicious streak a mile wide, which is enough to get Needful Things across the finish line, even if BuzzFeed calls this film about a curiosity shop that supplies more than its customers bargained for a "tragedy of squandered potential."
24. Pet Sematary (2019)
The filmmaking duo behind Starry Eyes bring some major changes to King's source text, but not enough to make this creeper really stand out from the previous take on the material.

23. The Green Mile (1999)
Frank Darabont's three-hour-plus adaptation of King's experiment in serial storytelling was nominated for four Academy Awards the year it came out. So why isn't it higher on the list? Let's just say that it hasn't exactly aged all that well.
22. Graveyard Shift (1990)
One of the things that King does very well is bringing horror and pathos to the everyday, blue-collar worker. Few of his movie adaptations do that better than the grimy, sweaty grotesquerie of Graveyard Shift, which sees the workers at a flooded textile mill going up against a very big rat problem.

Frequent King collaborator Thomas Jane takes center stage in this Netflix original about a 1920s farmer who conspires to murder his wife for profit—leading to a reckoning that's tinged with elements of Edgar Allan Poe's Gothic fiction.
20. Silver Bullet (1985)
The werewolf effects aren't always especially convincing, but this coming-of-age flick stars Gary Busey and Corey Haim, and manages to eke some particularly creepy moments from its small-town milieu. Look for the scene with the blood-spattered kite as just one example.
19. Children of the Corn (1984)
Before folk horror was all the rage, King had already made this folk horror classic about a town where anyone over the age of 18 must be sacrificed to "He Who Walks Behind the Rows." The result can be cheesy at times, but also effective—and it spawned numerous sequels.
Related: Harvest Home: The 1973 Pagan Horror Classic that Laid the Groundwork for Stephen King's "Children of the Corn"
Mary Lambert's original adaptation of one of Stephen King's darkest novels, with a screenplay written by King himself, may not be a personal favorite of mine, but it is for many others. And the movie has a theme song by the Ramones, so that's always a plus.

17. The Mangler (1995)
Tobe Hooper's second attempt to bring King to the screen wasn't as successful as his 1979 TV miniseries Salem's Lot, but there's more to this industrial nightmare starring Robert Englund and Ted Levine from The Silence of the Lambs than its lackluster reputation would suggest.
16. It Chapter Two (2019)
Sure, it's a disappointment on the heels of the first installment, but the second half of Andy Muschietti's ambitious adaptation of Stephen King's doorstop novel of childhood friendship and cosmic small-town evil is still bold, big-budget horror of the kind we seldom get to see.

15. The Dark Half (1993)

Is there a more classically Stephen King story than one about a writer whose retired pen name returns from the dead to take over his life? With George A. Romero at the helm, the result is a memorably weird and surprisingly gruesome bit of dark pulp.
14. Dolores Claiborne (1995)
Kathy Bates essayed one of her best roles in the beloved Stephen King adaptation, Misery, which means that her equally-powerful turn in Dolores Claiborne often gets overlooked. Which is a shame, as Time magazine named this chilly melodrama one of the 10 best Stephen King adaptations of all time.

13. Cujo (1983)
Alligator director Lewis Teague brought an intimate killer animal flick to life with Stephen King's Cujo, a simple story of a woman and her child trapped by a rabid dog—one so resonant that the name "Cujo" has been associated with vicious canines ever since.

12. Stand By Me (1986)
It's hard to believe that possibly the most tender and touching Stephen King adaptation came out the same year as the gonzo Maximum Overdrive, but here we are. This time, Rob Reiner directs a coming-of-age story as only King can tell it, featuring a who's-who of '80s child stars including Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and Kiefer Sutherland.
11. It Chapter One (2017)
Stand By Me was great, but it could use some more killer clowns. Stephen King's It is one of his most iconic novels, and the first half of Andy Muschietti's bold, two-part adaptation brings it to the screen in style, thanks to a cadre of talented child actors and a jittery, animalistic performance by Bill Skarsgård as the evil clown Pennywise.

10. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Nominated for an incredible seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, The Shawshank Redemption was Frank Darabont's first stab at adapting King to the screen and, for many people, one of the most successful examples. Chalk some of that up to the lush cinematography by Roger Deakins and a starring turn by Morgan Freeman, both of whom received Oscar nominations that year.
9. The Dead Zone (1983)
David Cronenberg directing a Stephen King adaptation is a horror fan's dream. Throw in Christopher Walken in the lead role and Martin Sheen as a delightfully oily politician in a flick that feels eerily prescient nearly 40 years later, and you've got one of the best Stephen King adaptations out there.

8. Misery (1990)
Kathy Bates steals the show as one of the most memorable characters in Stephen King's canon in this chilly, snowbound shocker about an author who finds himself at the mercy (or lack thereof) of his number one fan.
7. Doctor Sleep (2019)
Photo Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures
It's a tall order to adapt a sequel to one of Stephen King's best-loved books, especially when that book already has a movie adaptation that's maybe even more beloved and which diverges massively (and famously) from the book. Fortunately, director Mike Flanagan is up to the task—making a movie that works as both an adaptation of King's novel and a sequel to Kubrick's film.
Related: The Best Mike Flanagan Horror Movies, Ranked
6. Gerald's Game (2017)
Within two years, Mike Flanagan helmed two of the better Stephen King adaptations, including this skin-crawling, jaw-dropping take on King's famously "unfilmable" novel about trauma, in which the protagonist spends pretty much the entire book (and movie) alone and handcuffed to a bed. No small feat.
5. The Shining (1980)
Speaking of Kubrick's film, it may be the most beloved King adaptation of all time—by everyone but King himself, who famously disliked the (many) liberties that Kubrick took with his work.

4. Carrie (1976)

The first ever cinematic Stephen King adaptation, based on his breakout novel, also remains one of the best adaptations of his work overall, thanks to iconic performances by Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. Of course, we can't forget the star power of a very young John Travolta and the bold directing style of Brian De Palma.
3. Christine (1983)
If there's one quirk Stephen King is even more known for than writing about writers, it might be writing about cars. And his most famous story about a car is definitely Christine, brought memorably to the screen in King's only collaboration with that other master of horror, John Carpenter.

2. The Mist (2007)
Stephen King's novella The Mist is a monster mash that is a personal favorite of many fans. When adapting it to the screen, however, Frank Darabont took liberties with the material, transforming it into a post-9/11 meditation on the dangers inherent in buying into the rhetoric of the "War on Terror." All while not forgetting to cram it full of monsters. For optimal results, watch it in the black-and-white version, as Darabont originally intended.
1. Creepshow (1982)
Stephen King. George Romero. A cast that includes Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Ed Harris, Tom Atkins, and more. Hands-down the best Stephen King anthology film may also be the best horror anthology ever made, and easily the best evocation of those old four-color E.C. horror comics ever put to film.

Texas library utilizes $50,000 federal grant to launch esports program
Rounding up the latest news on esports and education
By: Chris Burt | October 2, 2019
Students who love video games and are searching for a place to compete in esports may find that next new arena in a surprising place: public libraries.
Libraries have long provided go-to spaces for K12 and higher-ed students who want to embrace traditional learning off campus — reading, researching and writing. But as technology develops, libraries smartly are transforming their once-quiet spaces to become, well, more buzzworthy.
A few are even happily inviting in, and investing in, a new wave of potential card members: young gamers.
In Pottsboro, TX, thanks to a $50,000 federal grant from The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the public library there, along with Pottsboro High School and nearby Austin College, announced it is launching its own scholastic esports program.
"It takes something that people love, which is what libraries are all about, independent learning, and then letting them explore it," Pottsboro library director Dianne Connery told the Herald-Democrat (Sherman, TX), after the grant was awarded.
The goal of the grant is to connect learning and play, according to IMLS, as well as helping to build digital literacy and critical-thinking skills. Gamers also will get the chance to learn strategies, compete in Rocket League and Overwatch and learn the technology used in competitions. And the potentially biggest win-win: Austin College students will help to mentor high school students.
IMLS' program, dubbed "Accelerating Promising Practices for Small Libraries", also means a serious upgrade to the library's infrastructure, including a significant internet boost as well as new gaming computers and headsets.
"It's actually quite phenomenal to have so much money put in towards our town, and towards the kids alone because that's our future here in Pottsboro," local resident Amber Duncan told TV station KXII. "It's not just for kids; it's for adults too."
Parents and others got to see that competitive arena first-hand during a recent tournament at the library, which plans to devote Saturday afternoons to esports.
Teen launches free high school esports league
Jordan Zietz, a 17-year-old entrepreneur from Pine Crest High School in Boca Raton, FL, says he has started his own free-to-play high school sports league, backed by a $7 million investment from game controller maker Power A. Zietz says his All-Star eSports League, which features popular titles such as Fortnite and Overwatch, has registered 5,000 teams. His league plans to dish out millions in scholarships and prizes to participants.
Zietz joins a crowded space, with software developer PlayVS and High School Esports League (HSEL) already having a foothold in scholastic esports leagues. But he told venturebeat.com he feels his model works well. "We may not be the most-funded esports league, and that was never a problem in the first place. Because we're a lot more efficient with our money."
Seismic shift happening in college sports?
California college athletes now can profit from their identity. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law the Fair Play to Pay Act, which makes it illegal for colleges to prevent student-athletes from making money off of "their name, image, and likeness." Those athletes also can hire agents and hire representatives to help them in commercial endeavors.
The move sets the stage for a prolonged battle between backers of the Act and the NCAA, which regulates 1,268 college athletic programs and does not allow athletes to profit this way. One of the many concerns raised by the NCAA is that "a patchwork of different laws from different states will make unattainable the goal of providing a fair and level playing field for 1,100 campuses and nearly half a million student-athletes nationwide."
The new law doesn't directly affect esports athletes; esports is not an NCAA-sanctioned sport, so athletes can earn money in different ways. However, the NCAA might be a player in the future, if it relents on its stance on amateur athletics. The Act also opens the door for other student-athletes in California to now barter with publishers to have their avatars appear in video games.
Shout-outs
HOOSIER STATEMENT: A group of 13 schools that are not part of the Indiana High School Athletic Association have decided to form their own esports league – the Indiana High School Esports Network. They include these districts: Carmel High School, Clinton Prairie, Elkhart High School, Munster High School, Kankakee Valley High School, Kokomo High School, Lafayette Jefferson High School, Mississinewa High School, Noblesville High School, Rossville High School, Salem High School, Seeger Memorial Junior/Senior High School and Tipton High School. The season will last six weeks and feature six different games, including Overwatch, Rocket League, League of Legends and Super Smash Bros.
PHILLY'S STAKE IN ESPORTS GROWING: Philadelphia is fast becoming a launching pad for all things new in esports. Nerd Street Gamers will help open the first esports gaming center in a pro sports arena, the Wells Fargo Center, home to the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers and NBA's Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 9. The center not only will host playing visitors during game days, but it also will be open during dark days at the arena. Philadelphia also has broken ground on what will be one of the most dazzling venues in the country, the $50 million, 3,500-seat Fusion Arena. It is slated to open in 2021, will be home to an Overwatch League pro team and host 120 events each year.
CCSU LEADS WAY IN CT: When it comes to college sports in Connecticut, UConn is king. But in the emerging esports universe, the school making noise is Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, CT, which recently opened the state's first dedicated esports center (1,500 square feet with 12 video game consoles). To renovate and add technology to a spot in Memorial Hall, the school spent $300,000 but got big-time sponsors in Dell, Microsoft and UK-based Response Gaming Ltd. It already has one big fan: former UConn men's basketball star and CCSU coach Donyell Marshall. "For something like this to be on campus, to have kids be able to play games and make new friends, this is awesome," Marshall, a former NBA star, told WFSB-TV.
ALL ABOARD: Several colleges have made the big leap recently and are forging esports programs, including Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. Robb Bolton, the director of campus recreation, talked about the groundswell of support on campus this year, saying, "It's by far the most [interest in] anything we've ever put out there. I think the most before [eSports] for any trip or sport or fitness event was probably in the 20s, so to have 100 students reply was pretty significant." The others to launch include ECAC member The State University of New York at Canton and four National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) members: Michigan Tech (Houghton, MI), Northcentral Technology College (WI), the University of Central Missouri (Warrensburg, MO) and Nichols College (Dudley, MA).

MTV Asia's raw music series captures artists in a casual, intimate session. Filmed (mostly) in MTV Asia's freshly minted in-house studio, it gets real in here, with heartfelt renditions, inspired covers and reinterpretations.
Enter our MTV JAMMIN' space, which is thoughtfully kitted out with musical instruments as part of our partnership with Swee Lee. The idea is to have a couch-side spot with artists from the region and across the world to come down and have fun by performing stripped down takes on well-known hits, new songs and old favorites.
Grammy award winner Alessia Cara kicks off the weekly series, to be followed by Australian heartthrobs 5 Seconds of Summer, Juno awards nominee Scott Helman and an Asian line up of Midnight Fusic, Trisouls, Rahmani Astrini and more!
"MTV JAMMIN' is all about creating a new live music series that is intimate but big on sound. We want artists to let their love of music take over, giving some amazing talent the space to spontaneously jam and perform. The MTV Asia studio is a place where they can chill and have some fun," said Sari Trisulo, Executive Producer for shows, MTV Asia.
"MTV JAMMIN' is another of our initiatives looking to bring fresh vigor and heart around music. The series underlines our growing embrace of short form, building accessible, recurring formats. We're loving the eclectic talent coming through those elevator doors into this new space of ours, which we hope becomes a little haven for inspired creative expression. Fans should keep an eye on this one!" said Abhishek K Rao, Senior Director, MTV Brand, Southeast Asia.

It has been almost a decade since The Itchyworms performed in the city-state of Singapore. The now-iconic Marina Bay Sands was still under construction, for one, and Universal Studios was probably still in blueprints.

The last time the band was there in 2008, they performed in a double bill with Marcus Adoro.
First, to serve as his backup band, playing songs from his seminal solo album, Markus Highway, and second, to play their own songs. The night ended in an epic extended jam on old Eraserheads songs.
The years have only made the band's wanderlust — itch, to borrow from their name — for Singapura that much more insistent. The hunger for the hawker holy grail that is authentic laksa is quite real, and so is the thirst for performing in front of new audiences, such as Singapore's music-loving folk, whether expats or locals.
Now, the band will finally get to scratch their decade-old itch for Singapore! The Itchyworms have partnered with the awesome people of Pinoy-powered events group Requiem Rising SG, to bring you an extraordinary one-night-only musical experience.
All paths lead to Hero's Bar on November 3. Whether you're hankering is for food, drink, or really good music, it's sure to be satisfied.
If you're from Singapore, save the date: November 3, 2018 at Hero's Bar, 69 Circular Road (Boat Quay Area). Doors open at 6PM
There will be front acts such as Pinoy indie groups Samzara and Liger. Media partners for #TheItchywormsSG2018 are Bandwagon PH, Manila Concert Junkies, Filipinos in Singapore and Pinoy Shows in Singapore.

Teen pop sensations of the late 80's Debbie Gibson and Tiffany rocked the MOA Arena last Saturday, September 15, 2018, despite the unfriendly weather brought by typhoon Ompong.
Debbie Gibson known for her hits "Only in my Dreams," "Shake Your Love" and "Foolish Beat" teamed up with singer-songwriter Tiffany popular for her songs "All This Time", Could've Been", If Love is Blind and "It's the Lover (not the love)".
The two iconic singers amazed the audience with their heartful performances as they sang their masterpieces which were once on the top Billboard hits during the reign of their careers. The night of retro music #TiffDebMNL was brought to us by Random Minds.
After his successful pair of mall shows in February, the former frontman of 90's iconic boyband Westlife, Shane Filan returned to Manila for his much-awaited Love Always Tour. It was held last Saturday, September 15, 2018 at the Kia Theatre in Cubao, Quezon City.
The Irish singer-songwriter serenaded his Filipino fans with some of Westlife's biggest hits such as 'My Love', 'If I Let You Go' and the classic 'Uptown Girl' along with a bunch of classic love songs from his latest album.
Upon singing one of his latest tracks 'Home', he joyfully expressed how everything about Manila seems to be overwhelming and already very familiar to him as he already considers it his "second home".
He also requested Jed Madela to get back to the stage to perform a shivering duet of Westlife's very own 'Flying Without Wings'.
Other songs he performed? We have the list here just for you!
Everything to Me
This I Promise You
Swear It Again
Beautiful in White
What About Now
Knee Deep in My Heart
World of Our Own
Everyone suddenly felt extra giddy when Shane noticed and asked a fan who apparently has "been waiting for 16 years to get a hug" from him, to come up on stage for a little surprise.
Filan last performed a solo concert in the country back in 2013, when he was promoting his "You and Me" album.
A huge thank you to Wilbros Live for once again making Filipinos' childhood dreams come true!

Mike Hosking weighs in on the allegations against Labour cabinet minister Kris Faafoi.
By: Mike Hosking
Mike Hosking has hosted his number one Breakfast show on Newstalk ZB since 2008. Listen live each weekday from 6am on Newstalk ZB.

Kris Faafoi did what you would expect a Labour Minister to do, and the Prime Minister did what you would expect a Prime Minister of her experience and standards to do, nothing.
And that is this Government for you. If standards are important, if decency, honesty, openness, or transparency are important to you, this is not the government for you.
This is a sloppy, unprofessional tainted lacklustre government. And it's headed by a person, when it comes to matters of expectation and governance, who is a mile out of her depth.
To recap, last week it was revealed that Broadcasting Minister Kris Faafoi may have breached Cabinet rules by offering to help "speed up" a friend's immigration case.
Messages between Faafoi and close friend Opshop frontman Jason Kerrison appeared to show the Minister offered to get involved in an immigration case and said he would talk to "people who can speed things up".
This was in relation to Immigration New Zealand's decision to reject his Kerrison's step-father's application for residency. His mother, Jude Kerrison, married Gitonga "Mich" Obadiah, a Kenyan national, in 2017.
Obadiah's residency was rejected, as Immigration New Zealand questioned the legitimacy of their relationship. Then came the conversation between Kerrison and Faafoi on Facebook.
• Kris Faafoi apologises over immigration allegations linked to friend Jason Kerrison
• 'Bro I have a plan': Kris Faafoi offered to help in friend's immigration case
• Premium - Audrey Young: Kris Faafoi is in trouble but just how much?
• Premium - Political Roundup: Should Kris Faafoi be sacked?
Faafoi has apologised for his Cabinet Manual breach. He's tried to explain what he was doing, he failed in his duty, and that he should have done things differently.

So in essence the accusation is accurate, it's just they're trying to wiggle their way out of the punishment. If there had been a mistake in reportage, if the facts were wrong, if he had a story that held up, or that represented something other than what we had heard Thursday night, he might have his reputation in tact.
As it turns out he doesn't, and I am sad about it. As I said last week, I know Faafoi from TV days, and like everyone else who knows him, I know he is liked. He is unquestionably talented, and he's been the sole shining light in that Labour Cabinet, having been justifiably promoted earlier this year.
Maybe that's the bit that saved him? Maybe the Prime Minister looked around the room, saw the old stalwarts such as Grant Robertson and David Parker, solid professionals quietly keeping their noses clean and getting on with the job, and then looked at the rest of them, and breathed out a sigh of knowing despair. They're a bunch of amateurs, so Faafoi gets saved because he's good in a room full of numpties.
But it still doesn't address the Cabinet Manual which has indisputably been breached.
And here's the thing that's damaging: The Cabinet Manual is open to a level of interpretation. Not by us, read it, it's black and white. But when it's breached or broken, what's to be done is the bit that's open to the leader of the day to interpret.
Maybe if Jacinda Ardern had never promised to be the most open, honest, and transparent government ever, this wouldn't be as bad. Maybe if Meka Whaitiri, Clare Curran, Iain Lees-Galloway, Shane Jones, or Phil Twyford had never happened it wouldn't seem so bad.

But they did, and they have. They seem to have no shame, their standards aren't standards at all. They're a grouping of amateur excuse makers, who hope you don't care, or you'll forget.
It's such a shame because good government leads from the top, it sets the agenda, the outlook, the expectation, and the standards.
The message we get from these indiscretions, broken promises, and breaches of rules, is anything goes. It's as loose as, and their greatest talent is gall.

New Orleans Film Society Hosts an Eve's Bayou Reunion
The pull of Eve's Bayou lies in its evasion of definitions—the 1997 film breaks your heart, makes you laugh, and leaves you wondering what really happened. This Friday at 5:30 p.m., the New Orleans Film Society (NOFS) is sitting down with director Kasi Lemmons, composer Terence Blanchard, and actress Lynn Whitfield. You might know them from a number of places besides Eve's Bayou. Among other things, Lemmons directed last year's Harriet movie and appeared in an acting role in The Silence of the Lambs, Blanchard composed the scores to Blackkklansman and Da 5 Bloods, and Whitfield starred in The Josephine Baker Story. They'll be discussing everything from the swampy Northshore filming location to working with Samuel L. Jackson to the groundbreaking nature of creating a film featuring exclusively black actors in 1997.
The discussion is free to attend, and NOFS only asks that potential attendees register at bit.ly/evesbayou. A live-tweet watch party will begin at 3:30 p.m. using the hashtag #EvesBayouReunion, so feel free to chime in with your thoughts. This is the first in a larger annual series entitled "Why Film Matters." The team has also put together a mini-documentary and an essay on black spirituality, and they'll be offering a panel on black spirituality and a master class with editor Terilyn Shropshire in the coming months.
Eve's Bayou is the inaugural film for the New Orleans Film Society because of how close it hits to home. There aren't many films that focus on the Creole experience, and Eve's Bayou is unafraid to have its characters perform Voodoo or speak in Cajun French. The film features highly intelligent, sophisticated people, whose stories are often untold, and it portrays Louisiana as the mysterious, powerful place we know it to be.
Outside of representation, Eve's Bayou is simply an excellent film. Set in a Creole-American community in 1960s Louisiana, young Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) witnesses her father (Samuel L. Jackson) having sexual relations with a family friend. Eve's older sister (Meagan Good) tries to convince Eve that she misinterpreted what she saw. The movie plays with memory and reality and whether what you remember is your reality, and it refuses to present you with an answer. It was incredibly well received by the independent film circuit, and it was the highest-grossing independent film of 1997, winning awards such as the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature, the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer (Smollett), and the Acapulco Black Film Festival's awards for Best Film and Best Director.
The conversation with Lemmons and Whitfield is sure to be exciting and thought-provoking, much like the film itself. It's a great way to get a closer look at a defining film for South Louisiana. For more information on the Why Film Matters series, or for information about the upcoming New Orleans Film Festival, be sure to follow NOFS on their Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter accounts or their website.
If you haven't seen Eve's Bayou or want to see it again before Friday's discussion, the film can be streamed on HBO Max.

I am pretty sure I assigned self.rect at the bullet class, I checked the indents and the spelling but I can't to seem to find the error.

A: You have a Group bullets and a Group enemiesList. Use pygame.sprite.groupcollide() to detect collisions between Sprites in Groups:
collide = pygame.sprite.groupcollide(bullets, enemiesList, False, False)

A: Look at the error: type error bullet ... . Somewhere, you're using the bullet class name instead of using an instance of that class.

A: pygame.sprite.spritecollide - assumes that first parameter is an instance of a class which has 'rect' attribute. But you put the class itself there.
I believe the code must looks like this:
for bullets_ in bullets:
    collide = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(bullets_, enemiesList, False)

Should Convicted Rapist, Murderer Get a New Trial?
Judge to reconsider new trial in 1989 Pa. slaying
Published July 2, 2013 • Updated on July 2, 2013 at 6:20 am
An appeals court has ordered a judge to reconsider granting a new trial for an eastern Pennsylvania man convicted of raping and strangling an 11-year-old girl more than two decades ago.
Scott Oliver, 44, of Easton is serving life in the August 1989 murder of Melissa Jaroschak, a native of Phillipsburg, N.J. who lived in Easton. He has appealed, citing new DNA evidence.
Northampton County Judge Leonard Zito ruled in November that even with the new tests, Oliver probably still would have been convicted. He also said the two tests are "inconclusive" given their differing results.

But the Superior Court panel said Zito shouldn't have considered other new evidence and should have only considered whether the DNA evidence would have changed the outcome given evidence available at the time.

We know what it's like spending huge amounts of time searching for student property only a few months into the new academic year. Meeting new people, overloaded with work - it's not just parties! At Digs, we're here to help you every step of the way.
A large amount of our Oxford properties are ideal Student accommodation - so we know what we are doing.
We keep it simple so you don't have to worry.
So, you have started a new year at University and are loving student life! But, before you get settled, this is the perfect time to start looking at your accommodation for next year. In October we get in touch with all our tenants and discover whether they would like to stay and in November release our list of properties that are available to rent for the next academic year.
To ensure that you get the property you want in the location that's perfect for you then contact us as soon as the property is released to arrange a viewing. All of our properties are listed in the student section of Rightmove and Zoopla and are also available to view right here on our own website. You can search by price, location and number of rooms and view photo's, floor plans and full descriptions of the properties - then click right through to let us know you are interested. We then get back in touch with you to answer any questions you may have and arrange a viewing of the property at the earliest possible opportunity.
All our student accommodation is only available on a 12 month contract running usually from any time between late-July and mid-September - depending on the termination date of the previous contract.
If you are just starting at University the chances are you have never lived away from home before now and even if you have - you have probably never shared with so many other people that have just left home! Either way, there are costs and details involved in running a student home that unfortunately some don't even think of before moving day. In this section, you'll find help, guidance and useful links to prepare you for independent student living.
One of the first questions on any property listing is 'how many bedrooms would you like?'. Make sure you choose people you like and who you could live with. Maybe have a trial run for a week to see if anyone has any habits you just can't stand, or anyone who you know would just make living with them a constant party! Choose wisely - what's important to you in a housemate? Who will make a fun house mate but understand that you are at University primarily to study and so at times need your space? You're tying yourself into a year with them, so this is the first big decision to make.
Travel time to campus? Nearest train station to get home? Parking? Local shops? Night life? Where will your friends be living? Whichever is most important to you, make sure you check out the location you want to be in before looking for a property - and not just on Google Maps! Go there, take a walk and get to know the area. There are so many properties on the market it can overwhelm you - narrow your search further by looking in a location or street that you will be happy with.
There are a lot of factors that can affect the price you can afford. Be realistic - most properties are around £100 per person, per week and most agents, like us, will only offer students a 12 month contract, regardless of how many months you will actually be living in the property. As a general rule, £30 pppw would cover your share of utilities and don't forget - as full time students you don't need to pay council tax, like residential letting, but part time students do. You then have food, study costs, social activities and personal expenditure to throw into the mix. Be realistic with what you can afford and get the right balance for you between cost, property and location.
Some further guidance can be found of the University of Oxford website - http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/fees-and-funding/living-costs. They mention 9 months, but don't forget - if you rent from a private landlord or agent, the chances are you will have a 12 month lease.
Once you have found the right house for you, follow our instructions on how to apply by clicking here.
Room allocation - Who will be in which room? How much space will you have? Who shares which bathroom?
In order to help decide which bedroom goes to which student, we have floor plans available for most of our properties. This can help you know how much space is available in each room and how many bathrooms there are and where. It's definitely worth working out before move in day who's got space where. The chances are, you are all from different towns and/or countries and won't all be moving in on the same day. You don't all have to be present on Check-In day to meet our representative at the property and collect keys - but at least one of you will need to be. Don't worry, we will agree a date and time together in advance so you don't have to miss any lectures to 'fit in' with our timetable! We are here for you.
3 - Who's best suited? - Got a house mate who can't handle their drink so well? Or who has regular night time bathroom visits? It would be worth placing them right next to a bathroom. Has one of your house mates got a long time partner or likes to 'play' around all parts of the campus? Then ground floor would probably be a good idea for these guys. What about someone who regularly carries in/out heavy instruments/equipment for their studies - it would be worth being on ground floor for ease of access and to save scratching walls up and down stairs.
It is advisable to travel your regular journeys at the time of day you will be travelling before you move in to your property so you can gauge the time it will take and any costs incurred. Most Oxford students will walk or cycle to campus, but if buses are required then always check timetables carefully and allow time for traffic.
For further travel advice, take a look at Oxford University website, or Oxford Brookes.
Consider also where you would store a bike in the property so it is safe and secure and not an inconvenience to your housemates. Taking bikes up and down stairs can cause scuff marks to walls that would not be classed as fair wear and tear.
No utilities will need to be paid before you move in, but this does not mean that you can't get quotes in, set up accounts and organise who will head up paying bills during your stay. It may be a good idea to set up a house bank account that everyone pays into each month - making sure that you have plenty in there when needed to pay all the bills. One email address that all students have access to would be a good idea as well and use this to register on any household accounts.
Bear in mind - it is illegal to make a profit on utilities without a licence, so you must ensure that at the end of the year, once all final bills are paid, that any balance remaining in a kitty is split between everyone that contributed.
- Full time students do not have to pay council tax, but part time students will have to.
Each of our student properties come with the basics that you would need, but there will always be items other than your personal effects that you will also need to take.
Many properties will come with a dining table and chairs if space allows and there will also usually be a coffee table(s) or small drawers in a communal area - however neither of these unfortunately can be guaranteed.
The kitchen will always come with oven, fridge, freezer and microwave, with the fridge and freezer being appropriate to the size of the property. Regrettably, it is unusual for a student kitchen to come with a dishwasher or tumble dryer - so make sure you have an air dryer and some rubber gloves!
The size and look of all items of furniture throughout the property may vary - for example the chances are not all wardrobes in the property will look the same. The property is going to be your home for the duration of the year and as such you will want to feel as at home as possible. If you would like to replace any existing items with your own, this is not usually a problem but you MUST obtain written permission for the person managing your property. It will then be mutually agreed whether the property manager will arrange safe removal and storage of the item(s) or whether you would arrange this and the conditions of its storage.
Curtains or blinds will be provided where appropriate throughout the property.
When it comes to move in day, you may be lucky and discover that previous tenants have left various items there, or the property comes with some of the items listed above as not included, however these items do need to be considered before you move in to make sure you have everything you need. Family and friends at home are usually very good to help out with items you need - but bear in mind you will then need to transport these from your home town. Social media can be a great tool to contact previous Oxford students who have items for sale or sometimes even free.
We will provide 1 key for each tenant at this check in appointment but please bear in mind - if not all tenants are present at the check in, that person(s) is responsible for all keys on behalf of the other tenants.
Throughout your tenancy you will always have someone you can get in touch with any queries. We have 3 services that we provide to our landlords - Tenant Find, Rent Collect and Fully Managed (further details here). The service your landlord has signed up to with us denotes whether we are your Property Manager, or the landlord is your Property Manager. This will be clearly laid out, with their contact details and emergency number, in your Tenancy Agreement and is required by law to be listed, again with contact details and emergency number, inside the property itself.
It's a very good idea, if you haven't already, to set up a house bank account to pay all your bills. Again, it's a good idea to set up a house email account for all your online accounts with any correspondence from various suppliers. Either allocate one person in the house to manage these for you, or give everyone equal levels or responsibility but make sure your decisions are clear to, and agreed by, everyone before setting up the accounts. The easiest way to ensure everything is paid on time is to set up standing orders on or around the same date for all suppliers and standing orders from each individuals bank account to the house account a week before the first bill of the month is due. This way you have a week to check that there is enough money in the account for everything to be covered, so to avoid late payment charges from your suppliers and overdraft fees from your bank. Or a credit card could be an option - but this will be another monthly cost to consider.
You could do the same with your rent as with your bills - have it all come from one bank account at the same time, but this is not what we would advise. To be clear - each of you will sign your own tenancy agreement and each of you is responsible for your own element of the rent. However you are all jointly and severally liable for the whole monthly rental amount, so if one person doesn't pay then the rest of you would be liable for their share. We do have a fee for late payment, which would be chargeable to whoever's rent is late.
Food, cleaning products, drink's - it's vital to agree between you all whether you will each buy and store your own or share them. Why not have a cash kitty kept somewhere safe, when it gets low everyone put in the same amount to top it up. Again, it's just really important to agree with everyone what the rules are on what can be paid for from the kitty.
All tenants are obligated to take reasonable care of the property they rent. Ensuring that entrance doors are locked when unoccupied, taking reasonable care to avoid stains and damage, ventilating the property regularly to avoid damp residing are good examples of general care. This is your home - we ask for you to take care as if it were your family home.
You're students - there will be times that you want to invite people over and have a good time - more often than not including music. We advise you to contact your neighbours and let them know you will be having a party and be as considerate as you can. Oxford City Council have guidance on noise nuisance available here should you be in any doubt.
TIP - If you're having a party, it's a fab idea to cover carpets and surfaces in old newspapers to help prevent damage and stains.
Still got questions? You can always take a look at our 'Guide to Tenants' page for further detail or indeed, get in touch!


Shipping is doing great, and people should start getting their Useless Can today or tomorrow. Today another 108 boxes will be shipped, that's 248 in 3 days, more than half!
A beta version of the Assembly Manual is now ready. I put together pictures and basic steps on how to assemble the Useless Can. It's far from perfect, but it's either that I ship boxes or I make a great Assembly Manual! We decided to ship as much boxes as possible. But don't worry, when all boxes will be shipped, we will revisit the Assembly Manual to make a great one with more explanations, better pictures and electronic guidance.
Also, we worked hard to make sure that all kits are 100% complete, we triple check everything before closing the boxes, but in case you miss something, please contact us and we will do our best to fix it.
For any support about the Useless Can, send us an email at: support@itnx.com Kickstarter is not a platform to do support.

Q: laravel sorting eloquent collection based on array matching values I'm trying to build a project recommendation system, where users and projects have required skills tags. I'm trying to generate and sort a collection of recommended projects for users based on the amount of skills that match in each skill array, for example the project that has the most matching skills to users skills would be appear first in the list of recommended projects.
This is my code so far.
public function recommendedProjects()
{
    $projects = Project::all()->filter(function ($project) {

        foreach(unserialize($project->skills) as $projectSkill)
        {
            foreach(unserialize(Auth::user()->profile->skills) as $userSkill)
            {
                if($projectSkill === $userSkill)
                {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    });

    return View::make('projects.projects')->with("title", "Recommended Projects")->with('projects', $projects);
}

So far it kinda works, but only returning projects with at least one matching skill.
It would also be helpful if I could limit the number of results to the most relevant 20 projects or so.
Any help is appreciated, this is my first Laravel project lol.
EDIT
I changed my code to store skills in their own table instead of using serialization, right now it returns all projects with at least one matching user skill.
I want to sort the projects so that projects with the most matching skills to user skills appear first.
for example, if a project has 3 required skills that the user has all 3 skills, the project would appear first, over a project with less matching skills.
here is my updated code
  $projects = Project::all()->filter(function ($project) {

            foreach ($project->skills as $projectSkill) {
                foreach (Auth::user()->skills as $userSkill) {
                    if ($projectSkill->name === $userSkill->name) {
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }

    });

A: You just need to sort the collection of projects you have. Try this:
$userSkills = Auth::user()->skills;

$projects = Projects::with('skills')->get();

$projects = $projects->sort(function($a, $b) use ($userSkills) {
    // Get the matching skills from both A and B
    $aMatchingSkills = $a->skills->intersect($userSkills);
    $bMatchingSkills = $b->skills->intersect($userSkills);

    // Return the count of A minus the count of B - See PHP uasort
    return $aMatchingSkills->count() - $bMatchingSkills->count();
});

This is using the eloquent collection objects pretty extensively (sort, intersect and count). sort uses one very useful function from PHP - uasort
To remove projects that have no matching skills, try replacing the Projects::with('skills')->get(); bit with...
Projects::with(['skills' => function($q) use ($userSkills) {
    $q->whereIn('name', $userSkills->fetch('name'));
}])->get();

This is getting a bit complex now and I can't guarantee that what I've posted will work, but it's close.

Big Cedar Lodge to host back-to-back PGA TOUR Champions events in August
RIDGEDALE, Missouri (July, 16 2020) – Some of the biggest and most legendary names in golf are returning to Big Cedar Lodge and the Ozarks next month.
PGA TOUR Champions and Big Cedar Lodge announced today two new events that will be contested as part of the Tour's combined 2020-21 schedule. The Charles Schwab Series at Bass Pro Shops' Big Cedar Lodge will feature back-to-back 54-hole tournaments played over a nine-day period in August, with each event carrying a $3 million purse and televised worldwide on The GOLF Channel.
The Charles Schwab Series at Buffalo Ridge will take place Aug. 19-21 at the Buffalo Ridge Course, with the Charles Schwab Series at Ozarks National to follow on Aug. 24-26. Practice rounds for each event will be held the two days prior to competition.
The complete Charles Schwab Series schedule is as follows:
17-18 – Practice rounds at Buffalo Ridge Course
19-21 – Three-day tournament at Buffalo Ridge Course
22-23 – Practice rounds at Ozarks National
24-26 – Three-day tournament at Ozarks National
The venues represent two of the five award-winning nature golf courses at Big Cedar Lodge, which has been considered "Home of the Legends" after previously hosting the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf from 2014 through 2019.
"This is our seventh year hosting the PGA TOUR Champions, and we are very happy to welcome these incredible players and friends back to Big Cedar Lodge," said Johnny Morris, noted conservationist and founder of Bass Pro Shops and Big Cedar Lodge. "We continue to take great pride in this special place and our continued enhancements, including the grand opening of Ozarks National last year and the debut of the full Payne's Valley course later this year. We know the unique beauty of our courses leave a lasting impression, and we look forward to providing a challenging, memorable experience to all of the players while showcasing the beauty and wonder of the Ozarks with the world."
Due to COVID-19 concerns, no spectators will be allowed on site during the events. Fans can follow the action worldwide by tuning-in to The GOLF Channel, which will provide extensive coverage throughout the tournament. Set to air in more than 340 million homes in 170 countries, the broadcast will showcase the unmatched natural beauty of the area while spotlighting Johnny Morris' vision for creating breathtaking golf courses that connect people to nature.
"We are excited to once again partner with Johnny Morris and the great team at Big Cedar Lodge to bring the excitement of PGA TOUR Champions golf back to the Ozarks," said PGA TOUR Champions President Miller Brady. "Our players have terrific memories tied to this amazing property, and I know Buffalo Ridge and Ozarks National will be tremendous venues for our fans watching around the world on GOLF Channel."
Golf Digest selected Ozarks National as the Best New Public Course in the world last November in the publication's annual rankings list and Buffalo Ridge was ranked the #1 course you can play in Missouri in Golfweek's "2019 Best" issue. Additionally, last September Golf Magazine named Big Cedar Lodge as the No. 1 Family Golf Resort in North America, as part of its Top 100 Resorts issue for 2019-2020. Recognitions like these continue encouraging notable people and players to visit Big Cedar Lodge, including the likes of World Golf Hall of Famer Ben Crenshaw, who has visited and played the resort multiple times.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, PGA TOUR Champions previously announced that its tournaments in 2020 and 2021 would combine to form one season, with the next Charles Schwab Cup champion to be crowned in November 2021 at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. The full lineup of players participating in the Big Cedar Lodge events will be announced in the coming weeks.
To provide a safe "bubble" for players, caddies and tournament staff, there will be temporary public closures throughout the tournament series. Buffalo Ridge will be closed from Aug. 16-21, the adjacent Mountain Top will be closed from Aug. 16-26, and Ozarks National and Payne's Valley will be closed from Aug. 22-26.
