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.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

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://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/an-irrevocable-dream-about-a-mermaid%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
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!
