It's heartwarming to finally see Juliet and Shawn met each other in the middle. The ruse will eventually need to end, but it's not the right time of skits not beside him.

This episode, compared to the others, felt rushed in its pacing. Either that, the other episodes were too slow. It just seemed like so much tension was built up in the police questioning, to have the momentum squashed by a convenient phone call from the president. Then he's home.

I loved the Kennedy camps twist. Pretty golden. I now bought the book and will start it this afternoon. I'm usually not a fan of King's writing (stories yes, but not writing style), but this show left me with some questions.

I've seen this movie a few times over. I always space out the viewings so I forget parts, and end up surprised everytime. This movie is great: storyline, acting, characters, pacing. The one thing I noticed during my most recent viewing, is that the robbers don't seem to have a personal motive, beyond bringing attention to a bad dude. I would've like a little more depth there.

Good lesson to kids... don't engage in unprotected sex, especially with someone who is doing so multiple times a day. However, I'm wondering how the woman got an infection in her urethra after oral sex. What?!

This show is mocking rape. Turning it into a wrestling match and characters laughing at the victim. What a poor way to deal with the subject

I'm a woman in my mid-thirties, grew up watching several 80s horror films, but somehow I missed this one. I watched it, now, in preparation for the sequel film Doctor Sleep. As one who scares quite easily, I found myself not terrified in the least by Kubrick's The Shining. I've read many of King's comments on this film and must agree with a majority of them. The visuals were nice, the pacing was inconsistent but mostly slow, and the actors didn't seem to match King's vision. Duvall's character was rather annoying, I feel terrible for her experience with Kubrick to not end up amounting to much. As much as I enjoy the psychotic nature of the Jack Nicholson vibe (I kept picturing him with green hair and white face paint during this movie...), I would have rather enjoyed a slow build into madness. I agree with King, that Nicholson played Torrance as a crazy, abusive dad/husband before even leaving for the hotel. He didn't get a hold of any liquor until long after he'd been doing the crazy trance thing, so alcohol didn't have much place as a character in this film. If it had, the progressive madness would've made more sense. Also, after seeing so many pop culture references to twins in other movies/shows/books, etc. I was hoping for more from these characters. I find children extremely creepy, but there was a short scene of them crumpled on the floor covered in blood and another scene with one creepy line. I wanted more. A little bit of a struggle between Scatman and Nicholson would've been better, too. Walk in the door...ax to the belly...dead. What was the point of building up his character? The "scariest" scene (if I must choose one) is with the naked woman in Room 237. However, this was another scene that seemed promising just to eventually fall flat. The old lady started to wake up from the bathtub, but nothing came of it after she sat up. Why? Again, what was the point, then? Probably the best camera play was the final shot, with the July 4th Ball picture. However, it should have ended at the first glimpse of the picture. Reward those who are paying attention, to catch Nicholson. Instead, the camera keeps zooming. Uh, yeah we got it, that's Nicholson- not spooky anymore when you have to point it out. In the IMDb trivia section, someone mentions an alternative ending with the current hotel owner giving the kid the mysterious rolling ball and laughing creepily off into the sunset. That sounded better. 6 out of 10 stars for being a semi-interesting movie, with a potentially interesting story, nice imagery, but falling short waaaay too many times. The kid was phenomenal the entire time.

WTF does illegal immigration have to do with this season or this show, as a whole? Clay wants to know why none of his friends ate coming to him for advice. Because he's attached to the hip of that annoying new character.

I've seen many Steve Martin flicks but must have missed Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Therefore, I won't be voting The Hustle down simply because of a love for Steve Martin. Which The Hustle and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are actually remakes of Marlon Brando's Bedtime Story, if an elitist comment must be made. Hence the scene where Hathaway invites the club ladies to give Wilson a bedtime story. Wilson played a similar character that she plays in many movies. As long as she's not tired of being type-cast, I'm not either. Her slapstick humor is entertaining. I usually enjoy Hathaway, in romantic comedies, but could not get past her ridiculous faux accent. I kept waiting for that to be part of the hustle. It was distracting from anything funny she was trying to accomplish. I've seen them together on other projects and did sense a chemistry between them. (Oh! Speaking of ridiculous accents, what the heck Dean Norris. Breaking Bad geniuous to rodeo clown. Yikes!). Alex Sharp was good until he became an over the top character at the end. I'm not sure comedy is his forte. He should stick with drama or romantic comedy. Side note: I'm a female in my thirties that's sick of girl-power remakes,too. Single The Hustle out as its own movie, don't compare it the originals and you'll do fine. There were some girl-power moments but little feminazi rhetoric.

Spoiler: Finally, the end message of the movie was maybe you do need a man to be succesful? The doesn't seem so feminist, huh. So, men, it's fine, settle down.

This movie was ill informed from the beginning. If you're going to do a movie about a famous event in history-GET IT RIGHT! For one, Helen was kidnapped by Paris because Paris was a greedy person who can't pick up chicks on his own. Helen didn't go willingly. Achilles is supposed to die-that's one of the most famous deaths. Though Greek mythology is questionable- they should at least mention the Golden Apple, since that's the whole reason Paris goes after Helen in the first place. I thought the acting was horribly cheesy and the plot was too all over jumpy. And if someone's comment is going to be the spokesperson for the movie-they should at least spell the lead character correctly(Achilles!) That's all I have to vent about now. Thank you!
