Movie Review: THE SHINING - SCARIEST FLICK EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
The real villian is the OVERLOOK. The use of the steadicam is amazing as it glides through the magnificent hallways and lounge. Music by Wendy Carlos is very effective.(I swear that during the maze chase at the end they used music from 2001!-listen and you will see what I mean).Best scenes is where Jack is having conversations with the ghostly Lloyd and Grady(who was the caretaker!).Film is full of those classic trademark Kubrick elements(steadicam use, slow pullbacks, etc.)This one is a lot better than that made for tv version which was simply too long.(even though that version was closer to the book)Movie Review: Stanley Kubrick's ultimate Masterpiece.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of, if not the greatest films ever made. It is extrmely heart-pounding, which is why it made number 21 on AFI's 100 Heart Pounding Movie Ever. This movie grabs you and doesn't let go, even after the film is over. I read the book. It is the greatest book I have ever read. This is my favorite movie. The book and the movie aren't even the same thing -- so don't put the movie down. The picture and sound quality is excellent, and the documentary before the film is awesome. This is the great horror film ever (tied with Evil Dead -- you should check it out). YOu must buy or rent this DVD.Movie Review: Play with us, Danny! (Shudders)

I remember watching this with Amelia on HBO one night. She chased me around the room during the credits screaming "REDRUM! REDRUM!" but aside from that...this movie WILL get to you just like it did Amelia and myself. Jack Nicholson WILL scare you. Shelley Duvall WILL... thorougly annoy you...
just don't expect it to be any better then the book. For those of you rating it lower just because of this, you can't expect any director, whether it be Kubrick or even HITCHCOCK, to make a movie better then a novel written by the master of horror.
Movie Review: Hereeee's Johnny!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the only Stephen King films I really like. I love his novels, but most of the films are just...I don't know. The bottom line is that I don't like them. But, I like this. Who can forget it? There are so many memorable scenes that freak you out just thinking about them...The murdered children, the woman in the bathtub, the elevators full of blood, and (of course) the incredible chase scene with Shelly Duvall, Jack Nicholsen, and his ax. There is some cheesy acting, but in this case, it doesn't really matter...this is a pure classic!Movie Review: Scary? You Bet!

O babby this on did scare me to deth. But half the time I don't even know what happenning. Alls I can say is this guy caretaker is one nifty fello with an ax. Now let me axe a question. Is this a movie that explain itself well? I think not. It never clear what in world is going down. Fun to watch and creepy, aybe too instense for children under 12. Its gold mine of horror and probly scaryest one ever made in 1980s. Jack is scary at his best even more than Coo Coo Nest. When he says HERES JONNY, i nearly wet my pants.
