mvie mu-1119595: A filming of the novel, not a remake of Kubrick

Sun, 9 Apr 2006 18:27:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robertseletsky - In reading reviews of this 1997 TV mini-series here and elsewhere, one invariably runs across a hostile protectionist Kubrick faction who seem to be under the misapprehension that this version of THE SHINING is a heretical remake of the 1980 theatrical...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - My eyes and ears bled for a full half hour after watching this evil film. Why did I watch it? I knew it was going to be bad. All the films penned by King's hand have been, without excpetion. But I was curious. Kubirck's version of the Shining was...

Sat, 25 Sep 2004 17:44:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Perhaps I should start with some sort of disclaimer here: "It wasn't me, I wasn't there, and if I was, I was sleeping." No, that's not it. Oh never mind; disclaimers are difficult to come by these days. I merely meant a disclaimer is needed in the event...

mvie mu-1119595: Blows Kubrik's version out of the water!

Sun, 18 Apr 2004 20:45:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - It's quite sad that this 1997 version of Stephen King's famous horror novel is overlooked in favor of the old Stanley Kubrik version. The original deviates MILES from King's book. Jack Nicholson is over-the top and phychotic from the very start. The...

Thu, 8 Apr 2004 01:34:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author stacy2920 - This is one of those movies that should never be altered. Everyone know Jack Nicholson was the best choice for Jack Torrence. The original movie kept me on the edge of my seat this one barely kept me on the couch. No one can put an ax through a...

Mon, 19 Jan 2004 18:41:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blonde03 - The mini-series is a three DVD or 2 video movie, which was on TV in 1997, I saw the Kubrick version first, I loved the movie...Jack Nicholson was classic, Danny Lloyd was very good, but Shelley Duvall was too whiny and was a wimp, she bothered so much...

Sat, 13 Dec 2003 22:14:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chloey_Thorne - Finally Stephen King is able to produce a movie version of The Shining that is faithful to the original book. The first Shining movie had very little to do with the book it was derived from. But here we get to actually see on screen what King intended...

Fri, 9 May 2003 10:30:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wathomas - CRITIQUE: (No major spoilers here)

It is well known that Stephen King was never really happy with Stanley Kubrick's take on his book, The Shining.

Imagine, then, his continued horror, when the movie becomes so financially successful...
