The Shining

I've seen this film many times, yet there are many things for me to understand from this movie. This movie is a fantastic psychological thriller, making one feel all sorts of things as you watch. This is the opposite of all our recent cliche horror films we've seen in the last couple of years. Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece truly was a unique film using various unique methods to portrait the tone of the film. One of my favorite scenes of this film was when Danny was riding his tricycle around the hotel, and suddenly falls into this psychological paranoia trance, and the scene just goes berserk, when he starts seeing them on the floor, slaughtered then again seeing them standing while they talk to him in this demonic voice. This film is a phenomenal film, and I would recommend anyone who's up for an interesting psychological thrill.

The Island

After finishing the film The Island, by Michael Bay, I wasn't satisfied the film included many cliche action film methods that just wasn't pleasing. I liked the concept of it being a "dystopian" story,allowing the audience to feel the tension and doubt their surroundings and the way things are today. I personally wasn't expecting a different setting and feel to this film due to the director Michael Bay. He is known for his exaggerated actions in his film including, explosions, destruction, and loud sound effects to combine his scenes.
