Apocalypse Now: final cut bbc2 tonight 11:05 if your struggling to sleep (2am finish)
Wind river film4 @ 11:20
Bit of a struggle later, but no point going bed to early as it's clocks back tomorrow night, so may as well recharge the old batteries Saturday night/Sunday morning.

The Shining (1980)
What a supremely entertaining film! I loved it. It’s a film I’ve always been aware of but never got around to watching. Seeing as it’s Halloween, I thought I’d give it a crack.
It’s worth watching just for Jack Nicholson’s charisma and eye brows, but when you add in the intriguing psychological storyline, the overall tension, subtext, the bafflingly believable performance from the 8 year old actor who played ‘Danny’, stunning visuals and soundtrack, it is rightly lauded as one of cinema’s all-time classics. Every scene was engrossing.

What is your read on the ending? Specifically the picture?
Give Dr Sleep a whirl, it's kind of slipped under the radar but it's a worthy sequel.
Scare season continues with Fear Street's 1994 and 1978. Jolly entertaining supernatural slasher mash up that references all the right notes but they're fun, gory, well made Halloween fayre.

My overall take is that Jack wasn’t a maniac, he was a creative writer who took the story he was told in the opening of the film and used it as inspiration to write a horror story (specifically for his wife, a lover of horror stories). He self-inserted himself in to the story. When we see him being crazy, they’re scenes from his book, not reality.
The photo is the part I don’t really understand, but I think it’s basically a nod to the idea that Jack wrote himself in to the story in place of the original killer, Grady.
Also, the ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ scene is simply genius. The sheer amount of pages his wife goes through, showing how long he has been insane for is extremely unsettling and so well-executed.
Yes I thought Doctor Sleep was good and Rebecca Ferguson is really hot in it!
Have you read the book ?
The film really divides opinion over the book.
I think that they’re both equally as good as each other, yet I know people who don’t like the film, but love the book.
For me the picture is what seals it, all of the people in it are the souls the hotel has tormented and consumed. It's about cursed ground and not mucking around with nature and its alter ego. Been a while since I've seen it though. D!ck Halloran is the foreshadowing that Jud Crandall was in 'pet sematary'.
