Clockwork Orange (1971)

"What is everyone talking about?"

"Was Kubrick On Crack?"

How come they talk so funny?

Does this film take place in the future? (i mean the future for the people of the time when the film was made)

Set in the future is it?


Anybody else get a few chuckles from this movie?

Is it a reasonable response? Is it over the top?


Why does Alex's mother have purple hair?

What is meant by "a clockwork orange"?
If it's nor Cockney, what the hell is it?


why did Roger Ebert give this film a bad review?

Did we watch the same movie?"

Does he really want us to identify with the antisocial tilt of Alex's psychopathic little life?

get my point?

is there anybody else in this ward with you?

"Is this some sort of sequel to 2001?"

Alex is living in a society we don't really see (in the movie at least). So how can we judge "society values?"

What am I supposed to feel?

Is it to show how bad we are as people?


Should I be more disturbed by the violence?

Did Anybody else find parts of this Movie Hilarious?

a guilty person, perhaps even someone guilty of a horrible crime?


Is Alex a villain?

do we really care about what happens in the end?


Was the above review usefull to you?

Do you get it now?

Let's move on, shall we?

The Shining (1980) 2/2 (what?)

"the ghost make dad go crazy"

"the poster has his face sticking through a hole in a door."

just walking around endlessly looking at kitchens.

suspenseful music

Somehow a black man enters the hotel

Could this be the same mind that gave us Easy Rider? and Dr. Strangelove?

(i really gotta watch 2001 again cause i really didn't get it)


The little kid is weird

Why is he yelling "redrum" instead of just "murder"???? 

why it's backwards and requires a mirror

I drive to work and back (and sometimes to the store or to visit my cats) almost every day 

after so much time behind Riding Danny the last thing you were expecting to find was two murdered sisters.



Can someone please explain

This movie is about a man who likes to shout things through gaps in doors.

the poster has his face sticking through a hole in a door.


I am not convinced that Jack Torrence is a sane man


The young boy putting on that voice was really annoying and there was no need for it although the voice is probably supposed to symbolize a invisible friend

if you want to let a child see this, even if they are tough, make sure that they understand what they are watching.

Jake saw a naked "ghost" and he was so happy. that's not right, he is married.


It is weird that the movie is so different than the book

I made a little research and I found out a logical explanation to everything that happens in this film

Hotel seems a lot scarier due to the 70's interior design.

The Shining (1980) 1/2 (Hated it)

"I'd like to smack the people who tell me it's the scariest movie ever made."

"Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny"

it shouldn't be considered a horror film but rather a comedy

He is a caretaker and must take care (duh) of the hotel during the winter

The only horrifying thing about it is how it became so popular.

I found this rubbish film in the horror section. If I owned a video store I'd put it in the BORING section. 


I never understood what is the big deal about Stanley Kubrick.

A Clockwork Orange had so many ugly scenes and unlikeable characters. The music was horrible too.

"if the filmmaker is a genius, then the film is a work of genius and must be excellent."

He is one of those directors who produces very long, boring movies

Try watching a few scenes on fast forward, and you'll get the joke.


fans of the far larger Stephen King world were severely disappointed.

Stanley Kubrick f*cked Stephen King's book big time!!!


I ask again, how is this scary? How?

Friday the 13th was nominated for worst pic the same year and the movie is 100% scarier and better than this movie.

Everyone talks about the bicycle scene with amazement. Yes, it was interesting, but...

The hatchet scene is the best (the only best) scene of the movie.

Then there is that ridiculous hedge maze.

yeah, there is no maze in the book


The end is the worst ending ever possible

SHELLY DUVALL=Deserved to die, she was that annoying.

She looks like Olive Oyl from the POPEYE cartoons.

She was just annoying and I was pleading with the movie for her death.

What can I say? I would have killed this mealy mouthed, butt ugly, whiny woman long before he did.


There really was nobody for me to cheer for.

The kid talking to his finger is another idiotic

being locked up with those two would put anyone's nerves on edge.
