Does this film really need a review? I mean, it's The Shining! Everyone has seen it, right? And if you haven't whats wrong, why aren't you running to the video store to buy it? It's certainly Stephen King's best adaptation, but I think it is not because of King himself (who hated this version, and was determined to re-make a more true-to-book version several years after this one). The real ... read more

Kubrick at his finest, Nicholson at his finest. What else could anyone want? This version of Stephen King's book has almost nothing to do with it. And that's one of the best things about the film.

In 1997 King did a remake with many more elements of the book, and the film is a sleeper. I had to watch it like four different times to get through it.

Anyway, I'm not here... read more

A tempo que eu tentava assistir The Shining, porém, por diversos motivos, nunca consegui. Até que decidi apelar para a pirataria e baixar da internet, maravilhosa internet.
Quando um filme carrega a fama de 'clássico' nas costas, tenho que admitir que eu sempre assisto com um pé atras, principalmente depois da minha frustrada experiência com A clockwork orange e voalá! The shining é ... read more

Top 10 Stephen King Horror Movies (and a Bonus Gui (11 movies items)

" A caretaker and his family move into an isolated hotel in the dead of winter and must deal with its ghostly inhabitants. This third adaptation of a King novel is probably the best of the author's movies and is easily one of the most frightening films of all time, right after White Chicks. A TV miniseries was produced in 1997 that was truer to the book, but it was nowhere near as creepy -- in part because Steven Weber is no Jack Nicholson. "
