This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I had never seen The Shining before this very night. Not a big horror fan, so had to work up the nerve to view this particular Kubrick number. Not to mention surround myself with a couple good gal pals for support, and an adorable fluffy pomeranian to look to for reassurance. If you have not seen this film you must if for no other reason than it is a cult classic; after watching you will understand a million references in other film/media that currently have probably been flying over your head. Also, Jack Nicholson is psychotically terrifying (more so than usual). So in the end I am glad that I finally gathered myself together to watch this famous flick, but as I finish writing this post I am already thinking about what I can watch right now to try and get the elevator's bloody wave and Danny's creepy chanting out of my head... Zoolander is the current lead contender...
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
