The Shining
Critique
A cleverly thought-out film with hidden messages and gritty undertone, The Shining remains a true classic. From the mind of Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick's genius produced a timeless work of art. Speaking for every writer, I'm sure we've all been consumed by our work, slowly losing our grip on reality.

A Critique of The Ex
Visually appealing, however, the content swiftly proves mediocre at best. Accommodating a substantial lack of originality, with predictable plot twists, awful character development, and a final act that will leave even the most easily pleased with a sour taste in their mouths. A complete unadulterated disappointment. Avoid at all costs.

The Wyrm King
'The Wyrm King' the third and final volume of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. In this volume the fantastical characters are really showing themselves and their various talents. Nick and Laurie and family and still learning and making compromises as well as promises trying to be kept in helping the Nixie's and the other people and entities. Nick along with all the others learn how to help each other past and present. Once again Holly Black's artwork would make great coloring pages. All of these books thanks to Tony and Holly were great show and tell books for all ages.

It took me years to watch this film. Those twins were more chilling than anything. And what a setting! The hotel is a star in itself.
Very insightful once again Sian 😁 Love this movie ❤️
Great movie and awesome review!!!
I started to ask which version, then you put Stanley in there
Yes another of his classics... Read mine too? https://vocal.media/fiction/an-irrevocable-dream-about-a-mermaid
Makes me wanna re-watch the movie, although I have trouble sleeping after I watch anything based on King's works.

Lol. Very clever.
I have never made it through the entire movie, bit I can see why it is such a cult classic.
I have never been consumed by my work. However, I really enjoyed your review! Well done!
Ooooh...this is a good one. Clever work, Sian! Well done!
