The Overlook: The Missouri Breaks

Critics and audiences were not kind to this unusual film upon its initial release. Those critics and audiences were wrong.

The Overlook: The Fortune

by JB
I was afraid at first that too many of these new columns would seem like love letters to boutique video labels like Twilight Time, Kino Lorber, and Shout! Factory. I need not have worried. This week's column is more of a poison pen letter.

Riske Business: Room 237 and The Shining

I am a big admirer of The Shining. While I am watching it, I am often convinced it is the greatest horror movie ever made. This past weekend, I re-watched The Shining to coincide with the release of a new documentary claiming to be 'An Inquiry Into The Shining in 9 Parts,' called Room 237. I had seen Room 237 already at the Chicago International Film Festival, and something just bothered me about it. I couldn’t figure out what. I knew I would give Room 237 another chance when it was officially released. In my re-watching of both movies, I liked The Shining more than I ever have and I’m ready to call Room 237 one of the worst movies I’ve seen so far this year. It’s a completely dishonest movie.
