Did you have a go at Tropic Thunder @ijjysmith?
Well, first of all it wasn't scary at all and Nicholson's character seems crazy from the start so it's not like it's a surprise when he turns. I have heard that it's not a very truthful representation of the book so I don't see the point of reading that and I certainly won't based on how much I enjoyed the film. There were some cool shots though, and I liked the cinematography. Just couldn't really get into it more than that thoughYou sir are a Philistine, to describe the film that has been voted the most scary film of all time as - " too long / slow " beggars belief. You should read the book and then watch the film, it will help you appreciate the things that make this film a classic piece of film making.
Not yet mate. Working from home tomorrow so might see it then.

I think I'd probably like it better on a rewatch. Usually helps when I know exactly what kind of movie to expect. Didn't love Blade Runner the first time I saw it either because it was just not what I expected, and now that is my favorite film. It probably didn't help that copied a lot since it's release. I'm sure it would have been more effective had I not seen a bunch of other movies that came since. However, I find something like The Excorcist to be much creepier and that has been done to death too in parodies and what not.Each to their own mate , the film is probably as true representation as they could do in relation into his decent into madness. A lot of the book is about Jack Torrance fighting with his own inner demons - alcoholism, the mental scars left by an abusive father and the collapse of his life due drink. Read the book and make your own mind up.
