Movie Reviews of The Shining [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: It's Like I Saw It For The First Time
Summary: 5 Stars
For being 27 years old, this movie has never captivated me more. Letterbox has opened this up to a whole new level, and the detailed picture and sound only enhance one movie that was truly made for blu ray; I have seen this dozens of times, but this was like a religious experience in many ways; I heard and saw things I never had before; This was my first blu ray, so I can't imagine how something more recent looks!! It was almost like certain sequences were in 3D; The ballroom and hedge maze sequences were just jaw dropping, and Kubrick's bizarre color schemes suit the incredible picture quality perfectly. The eerie music sounds even more menacing!!! Great extras, too!!! Finally somebody gave this movie the treatment it always deserved!!Movie Review: Incredible Release
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got the entire Kubrick collection in Blu-ray and, so far, The Shining is my favorite of all the releases. The transfer is stunning, the audio is clean, and the extras compelling. Seeing The Shining in hi-def is a revelation! Now as Danny motors through the hotel you actually FEEL the sense of movement! I remember when I saw it in the theatre how excited the crowd was during those shots. And that feeling is back in this release.
The extras are also great--especially the audio commentary. Incredibly informative with lots and lots of anecdotes and analysis, giving the viewer a very full and greater appreciation for the work technically and artistically.
Get This Disc--you won't be disappointed.
Movie Review: Long Version but no Japanese Subtitle
Summary: 5 Stars
The Shining or Blade Runner is my best favorite piece. Only in US we are able to purchase 142min. version. Shining mania would correct all versions of this masterpiece. I'm happy but this disc have no Japanese subtitle. Also this version have no top and bottom parts to make 16:9 frame from 4:3 original frame. You are unable to see all of splendid picture including the helicopter shadow above the forest in the first credit. The forest is the forest in the last credit of Blade Runner that is Kubrick's present. We have now strong BD power. I wait full universal disc have all versions and all subtitles in one disc.

Movie Review: The Shining
Summary: 5 Stars
The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick, is arguably one of the best horror films ever made. The performance of Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrence is both haunting and mesmerizing, and is one that I will never forget. A truly horrifying film, it focuses a lot more on mental images and illusions for it's horror, and can be slow at times, as opposed to the fast paced, popping out at you horror films that you see so often. I recommend it to anyone who wants to see great acting and cinematography at work, as Kubrick truly makes this film something to remember.Movie Review: Even better in Blu-ray
Summary: 5 Stars
We recently purchased a new 42" LCD HDTV and Blu-ray player and this was one of the first Blu-Ray's I purchased to view on our new system. It is one of my husband's favorite movies so I purchased it as a surprise for him. It was so much better (and scarier) in Blu-ray than any of our previous viewings of this movie in other formats. It felt like we were watching a great new movie for the first time; watching it in Blu-ray made that much of a difference!
As usual, I am completely pleased with Amazon's service, prices, and quick shipping.
