Be careful with old movies, they are like throwback photos and you know how they look compared to new advanced tech cams.
You deserve a Nobel award for this description. Better description doesn't exist. That's exactly how I felt while watching it.

I'm surprised to hear that, cuz I geniunely found it scary when I saw it like 13 years ago. Maybe it helped that I read the novel prior to, but again, I've always liked classics. 3/10 is not a fair score for a classic.
That's why. If I had watched the movie 13 years ago, TBH it'd scare me too. But seeing the movie through the lens I used in watching horror movies like SAW, Drag Me To Hell, etc., you'll agree with me that it'd be like a comedy show comparing The Shining to its modern contemporaries. And like you pointed in one of your posts, Godfather's quality was perfect for back then, same is applicable to The Shining. It's a classic quiet all right, but it's for those in that era. I've seen better scary movies than The Shining.

I have never come across that username o. Okay, you're off the hook wink
I was banned on TV/Movies section for giving one guy links to two movies he asked for, hence my reply here.

That link was working on that day. Maybe it expires after a day or something. Just follow the link below, scroll down and click on download, then input the captcha words they will display to show you ain't a bot and several links to the movie will appear. Click on them, if one doesn't download, another will. There are about 9 links there. One must work.

The Shining - maybe if I'd watched it in the 80s and not with a 20th century perspective/lens, I'd have found it interesting, intriguing and scary like most horror movies. The movie was unnecessarily long, with unnecessary long dialogues instead of cutting to the chase and getting down to the basics. The acting of Jack's wife was particularly uninspiring. I find the movie kinda childish. It didn't get my heart racing one bit till around the last 15 minutes of the film when Wendy started seeing ghosts and the flowing blood. I mean, it took over an hour for me to witness a real ghost action when the old woman and Jack kissed. I slept off last night while watching it after the Champions League final match. That's how boring I found it. embarassed

The Shining 3/10. Koice, this is the only taint in your list of wonderful suggestions. grin

Actually, Momento is easier to decipher. It's a story told a reverse chronological order, whilst Cloud Atlas is about a reincarnation of a soul across centuries, and how the actions of of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer to a hero through an act of kindness, to inspire a revolution. Kinda convoluted, isn't it? Yup, that's Cloud Atlas in a heartbeat.
Yep, that's Cloud Atlas. I was surprised he found Memento more complicated than Cloud Atlas. Memento is a learner when compared to Cloud Atlas.

And the directors made it more complicated by using same characters across the 6 timelines.

Westworld is fantastic. I don't understand why some folks find call it a mindf**k, because, clearly, it ain't that... at all. Granted, it gets a bit complicated at the beginning and at the middle, but that can be attributed to it's non-linear mode of storytelling. Towards the ending, however, things started to clear up a little, and answers were finally provided at the season finale. Haven't started watching season 2 as of yet, but I imagine it wouldn't be very hard to follow now that certain antecedents have been cleared. Give it a watch, you'd probably enjoy it.

Having said that, you might find Legion a bit of an head scratcher. Now, that's a proper mindf**ker if ever there is one. It's the television version of Cloud Atlas and a lighter form of the greatest mindf**ker of all, Twin Peaks. Things you see don't always occur on the same timeline or dimension.
I will watch Westworld especially now you've confirmed it's not like Cloud Atlas. I don't need a show that'll leave me scratching my head, which also rules out Legion. But my curiosity is piqued with mention of Twin Peaks. Is it worth the watch? Also I Googled it and saw it has a 1990 version and also a 2017 version. Which of them is the one you were talking about in this post? The one of 1990 was given a high rating and I love the genre.

Really. I didn't find it as twisted as Memento. It just tells a story over different timelines. Something like the Legion series did recently.
Memento was one storyline told in an ascending and descending order at the same time. But Cloud Atlas was 6 storylines told at the same time. That's an avalanche of confusion.

Have you watched Pacific Rim? I'm seeing Transformers-like bots on the poster and I'm wondering if I should even bother watching. I downloaded it yesterday
The part one is interesting, the part 2 is not too interesting. I enjoyed them both, though. Since you've downloaded it, watch it. Part one was acted by your man crush, Idris Elba. Part 2 was by John Boyega. Both films were all right but critics savaged the part 2.

No, I haven't. But from what I read online, seems like they continued their love in other sequels of the novels.

Cloud Atlas 5/10.

Memento dey learn work in confusion for where Cloud Atlas dey. The most confusing film I've ever watched so far. The producers took a simple narration and turned it into a maze of unnecessary complexities.

You know with Dominika's recent title in the Russian government, she can't be seen in public anymore with Nate. It's to be in secrecy. But if the novel series are continued, you may get your desired happy ending.

Thank you for your spoiling.
Did I spoil it? Lol. I just explained that there's a happy ending in the movie just not the way Ishi wanted it because Dominika and Nate can't be seen doing PDA with Dominika's recent position in the Russian government. No worry, next time I'll mail Ishi to avoid spoiling the movie. grin

Talent grows with experience and use. I was blown away by her performance.

The storyline is a bit convoluted and i struggled a bit, but I definitely did not expect that airport scene.

I'm also a bit disappointed there was no romantic happy ever after. I'm a sucker for romance smiley
At the ending of the movie when Jennifer received a phone call, a tune was playing on the background at the other end of the call, the tune was called Tchereprnin, which was the music Jennifer and her American spy lover listened to during their very first meeting. She looks out the window expectantly and smiles, leading us all to think that this story is only getting started. With two more books in the series, we couldn't be more right. So that call means their love story continued and might end up happily because it came from Nate. wink

Red Sparrow- I have just developed a whole new respect for Jennifer Lawrence's talent as an actress.

I won't talk about the stomach turning scenes of sex and violence, but her portrayal of Dominica is the saving grace of the movie.

7/10.
She's very talented. The airport scene of the movie is the climax of the movie.
