Ooh i love this film.

Jack Nicholson is such a great actor.... especially in this film

The whole concept of the film is great........... I am going to buy the book this weekend...... I last read it year ago.

We are actually going to watch it tonight (I bought the DVD last weekend)
with our daughter. Our son isnt bothered about it........ I think we have put him off, telling him what happens

Medot my son loves the Simpsons, and they did a "spoof" of the Shining a while back.

It was very good actually!

Those twin girls........... spooky or what!

And when the little boy is in his toy car, racing round the corridors.......... turns the corner......... then spots the twins!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooh, surely you have to buy a copy now Medot!

Just waiting for our chinese to arrive, then its going on .

I love this film too.

Did you know that Stephen King hated it and decided to make his own version.

Which was a flop.

Stacey I know what you are on about......... If I remember rightly, It was in a few parts wasnt it, on Sky?

Rebecca DeMornay played his wife If Im not mistaken.

I couldnt really get Into It......
