Revisited The Shining. An amazing horror movie. It is visually so rich especially all the scenes inside the hotel. A haunting title score to such a beautiful location actually prepares you for the horror that unfolds later. Jack Nicholson and that little kid were superb in their roles.
I did not understand one thing in the climax, why do they show a picture of Jack in that photo in the end. What significance it has to what happened during the movie?

Thanks af and s_c. The IMDB link was very helpful. Lot of good comments on various aspects in that movie. I will get to watch it again after reading them all.

Criminal Law (1988)
Actually five minutes of it (morning waiting for wife to get ready). I saw the lead looking vaguely like Christian Bale, but it's 1980s dammit, Bale was a kid making a movie with Spielberg. Appuram nalla uthtupaartaa...ada namma Gary Oldman-u. I know he's good looking and all, but not this good looking. And playing an American lawyer. Is there no end to this man's cameleonesque performances? He looks different from one film to another. Too bad I had only five minutes. I'd definitely catch it again (shown in HBO)

You got it bang on about the chameleon tendencies of this amazing, amazing actor.

Hell Yeah. Easily. Meryl Streep is the best actress.

This film is a testimony that if you take her out of a mediocre so-called rom-com, the films would be aweful. With a simple story, the entire film depended on her, even with Alec Baldwin (a competent guy) and a sober Steve Martin (stop aping Sellers!). And she looks so gorgeous without too much makeup or plastic gorgeous, at 60 nonetheless.
