Good Movie. Dull parts

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2001)

The Shining is easily one of the best horror movies in my eyes. All I know that is different from the book (I haven't read the book yet) is the ending. How *SPOILER* Jack dies and how the Overlook gets destroyed in the book. Wendy acted in my eyes good. But she just seemed to fragile and weak. I mean Danny seems to be more brave than her. Speaking of Danny, when he saw the two little girls, He acted as if they were his friends. No scared face or surprised. And he just covered his eyes and peeked through them. Jack Nicholson probably made the movie good as it is. With his special taglines, as in every movie consisting of, "Heeeeeres Johnny. Little pigs little pigs, let me come in. and Wendy, I'm home" as he hacks down the bathroom door where Wendy and Danny are with a fire axe. That part was probably my fav. I am trying to find the book to see if it is better or worse. Well I think the movie is good as it is. Kubrick kind of made up his own plot. Or added more to Stephen Kings. I recommend this movie. Oh, Just one more comment. What was that part at the end where Wendy looks into a room and sees that guy in the dog suit leaning over some other guy. Some sick felatio thing from a couple years back? Either way it creeped me out.
