A (suggested) Movie Review

So I posted a link to my blog on Google+, and got a recommendation to do some movie or TV show reviews. I watch movies more than I do, TV, so, here is a review of the movie The Shining. (No spoilers.)

"Avalon, you've seen The Shining? You're thirteen for God's sakes!"

So? It was good.

No, that's not my review. LOL, I may not be perfect but I write better reviews than THAT!

So I thought The Shining was, although SCARY AS HELL, an amazing movie with a great, creepy plot! Jack Nicholson was incredible, he really brought the character (that came from the macabre mind of Stephen King, btw) to life. Director Stanley Kubrick's use of foreshadowing and camera movement added a dark, almost Hichcockian touch to the film (as if it wasn't scary enough, right). Compared to the gory films of today, it may seem almost comical....but not so much three hours later, when you're scared out of your mind.

I congratulate The Shining for staying alive all these years, and staying fresh in people's minds even after movies like Halloween and Saw.

More later!

XoXo,
Avalon
