This is a great modern classic.

Date of Review:  May 17, 2008
Review: Jack Nicholsen does some really good acting in the old cult classic The Shining where he plays as a writer who goes crazy in a hotel because he is suffering from writers block and gets snowed in the hotel and can not get out and gets secluded from...

Different

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: A good movie if on a rainy day, if you are in for a chilling movie
Review: The Move does well because of it's good use of suspense and lighting camera and sound effects, not because of the emotional involvement of the watcher or believability of the story. Duvall's acting degenerates during the movie. Still, a good scary...

Truly different strokes...

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: Worth at least one viewing, but it's different.
Review: I rented it based mainly on the fact that Stanley Kubrick has got to be one of the most critically acclaimed directors ever, and I just wanted to know what all the fuss was about. And as a result of the films popularity, I had already committed to...

THE SHINING: Only the Shadowman Knows Why Kubrick Ruined His Intellectual Horror Masterpiece!

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Stanley Kubrick, from perverseness or perfectionism, cut an ending from his Release Copy which would have given THE SHINING symmetry and meaning. Neither of which the present edition has now.
Review: About the act of "Passing the Buck" -- personally, historically and cosmically -- Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING (1980) is a movie from that rarest of schools, Symbolism, and like any work which aims at Art, it exists on several levels.

The Bottom Line: Best. Horror. Movie. Ever!
Review:
My mom was always terrefied of this movie and so it was mostly to bug her that I decided to watch this. I wasn't expecting too much, it was a horror movie and I'd never thought much of that genre. By the end I was looking over my shoulder in...

Kubrick takes on King

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: Well-Executed chiller with startling visuals. But something's missing.....
Review: The Shining (1980) was voted by Empire readers as the scariest movie of all time. Is this really true? Well...

The plot basically evolves around a winter caretaker at an isolated hotel (Nicholson) gradually moving towards insanity. He...

The Shining

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2000
Review: Jack Nicholson totally cracked me up in this movie. The Shining is not a comedy, but it certainly does have it's funny moments. This is a movie that I can watch again and again, and it continues to entertain me.

Doesn't Shine Like It Should

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: Contains some brilliant moments, and I'll recommend it because of those, yet as an adaptation of a superb novel, it falls flat.
Review: My wife, the lovely Constant Leigh Kidden, is making me sleep on the couch tonight. It seems I couldn't stop following her around the apartment wiggling my finger and talking in a guttural voice a la Danny Lloyd's rendition of Danny Torrance's...

"Hair of the dog that bit me, Lloyd!"

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2000
Review: Funny. Stanley Kubrick only made two films that I consider to be complete, unqualified masterpieces, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Killing, yet whenever I watch one of his other movies, I derive an enormous amount of enjoyment, no matter how great...
