Just recently saw "The Shining." That movie is an embarrassment.

Bad, awful, nearly unwatchable. Nicholson and Duvall play their parts like mouth-breathing morons. The languid pace is snooze-inducing. It's the textbook example of Bad Kubrik.
Comic book movies are all alike. They were enjoyable at first, but they nearly all end with some kind of beam either aimed from earth at space or aimed from space and earth, and unless it's stopped it's the End of All Life As We Know It.
GCI can be excellent, but it sure as hell didn't add anything to the Star Wars franchise, and motion control was a huge step up in special effects also. The original, unmutilated version of Star Wars used motion-control and it's on the AFI's list. At any rate, special effects don't make a bad movie good.




The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
