So, on the upshot of watching misery I wanted more Stephen King, and I thought what better than one he didn't actually approve of (I wonder if he approved of maximum overdrive?).
No prizes for guessing the first on the bill, The Shining. Katy, you really need to get on this! It's all about Jack and shelly duval's run!
Next up is a bit of a curve ball. Ever heard of a little film called reservoir dogs? So original, so gripping, well yeah it's a remake of a film Kubrick directed in the 50s called the killing, definitely worth a watch.
You're all worried about the last on the list, and rightly so. We all know what I'm going to suggest, mostly because it's been at least ten years since I last saw it, so my nostalgia glasses are in full effect. It's full of weird shit and a docking sequence, and who hasn't had a piece of technology with HAL as a sound effect? That's right, my last on the list is 2001.
Watch one, or watch all 3, give a post then start suggesting some Xmas films please, hoping this post will take us to advent!
Just been having a chat with dad, and he suggested another kubrick with paths of glory, I've never seen it but dad reckons it's decent!
ReplyDeleteSo I watched the shining...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved it. I wished I have seen it years ago though as so many horror films have ripped it off! I actually love the deco of the hotel but it's so freaky at the same time. The bathroom scene really freaked me out! It was really uncomfortable and also scary. The scene when they are running through the maze really got my heart pumping. I just feel like because it's such an iconic film and has been ripped of so much, I knew what was going to happen which was a shame. But all this aside what a fantastic film!
