Brilliant Masterpiece - "Heres The Shining!"

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 1998)

This film "shines" on Jack Nicholson because of the way Kubrick uses his skill to show how Jack gradually goes crazy. The camara angles and the actors unique ability to give the film a scary, yet suspense filled atmosphere - help to add to the horror of the film. The special foot - hill of this film is shown in the camara filming, noticeable when the boy is pedaling through the halls, "Steadycam" procedeure helps make the boy also "shine." The catch-phrases are wicked - "here's Johny!" and my favourite - "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy" which is spoofed in many films and shows like the Simpsons.
