The Shining: Review

"Heeeere's Johnny!" With remarkable visual panache and a keen sense of irony, Stanley Kubrick throws away Stephen King's source material and reworks the story into a controlled tale of family horror. Not a horror film in any traditional sense, but a perversely comic, occasionally frightening melodrama of intrafamilial rage. Starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd.

Jack Supports Hill | Today's News: Our Take | 3/3/2008
At first we thought there was no way this video was legit and that some YouTuber with too much downtime pieced it all together. But after watching a montage of various movie clips of Jack Nicholson (including Batman, The Shining, and A Few Good Men), the video transitions to a shot of Jack himself approving the message that Hillary is our girl. Will Jack’s endorsement be enough to give her the edge she needs? We’ll have a few more answers come early Wednesday morning after Ohio and Texas cast their ballots on Tuesday! But, of course, we can’t resist the response video that popped up shortly after:Your take: Which video do you think was pieced together better? read more
Ron Livingston's Nightmares Scenario | Today's News: Our Take | 7/19/2006
Some actors possess an Everyman quality that gives them the versatility to take on any role. Ron Livingston is that type of guy. After gaining notoriety as a member of Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn's crew of Swingers, he went on to play a conflicted World War II captain in HBO's Band of Brothers. This fall the Iowa native gets his first opportunity to play a series lead on Fox's hostage-negotiator action-drama read more
Hostel Helmer Takes Stab at Stephen King | Today's News: Our Take | 4/18/2006
Recently, Hollywood has turned to the horror flick to rejuvenate flagging ticket sales. While the glut of guts has led to a lot of remakes and knockoffs, a few young filmmakers have risen to the challenge of fashioning fresh fare. Eli Roth is one such box-office reanimator. Spawning the hits Cabin Fever and Hostel, the Boston-born director splices social commentary into his gore while mischievously tinkering with genre convention. TVGuide.com invited Roth to discuss Hostel (out on DVD today) and share hi read more
It's hardly a secret that two... | Matt Roush | 1/19/2006
It's hardly a secret that two of my favorite hours of the TV week are the Lost-Invasion combo on ABC on Wednesday nights (I watch the 11 pm/ET replay of Project Runway to come down from the high so I can get a good night's sleep).

This week was no exception. Lost and the revitalized Invasion were both terrific, as usual, but what struck me was how both shows have suddenly evolved, in their episodes' final moments, into what look to be war allegories.

After the creepy jungle encounter with the Others (mostly represented by the sudden appearance of torches surrounding our heroes), Jack approaches Ana Lucia and asks, "How long do you think it would take to train an army?" We already know the gal has deadly aim. And imagine Mr. Eko as Ge read more
