Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2004)

This is one of Stephen King's best movies ever. It is definitly one of the top 100 movies of all time. A typical Nicholson masterpiece. The remake was a great movie as well. Not a lot of comedian actors like Steven Weber can pull off an act like he did in the remake. But good old Jack was the best Jack Torrence. Weber was good but not as good as Nicholson. Rebecca DeMorney played a better Wendy in my opinion than Shelley Duvall. Danny Lloyd was a better Doc than Courtland Mead. I liked Melvin Van Peebles and Scatman Crothers equally as Halloren. Elliott Gould and Barry Nelson played 2 diffrent personalities of Mr. Ullman. Gould was a SOB and Nelson played a nice Ullman. That questioned my thoughts about the character. The lady in the haunted room in the remake was creepier than the original. I liked Pat Hingle's role in the movie remake as Mr. Watson. I'm a Pat Hingle fan so that was cool to see him in it. I had the honor to meet him when I was in Colorado a couple years ago since he is from Colorado. I visited the Stanley Hotel where the remake was made and he along with Courtland Mead and Elliott Gould made a guest apperance at the Hotel. They were doing a special tour of the hotel. All cool people. So my rating of the movie 4 stars out of 4, and for the remake 3 out of 4 stars.
