Stephen King didn't like Kubrick's "The Shining", one of the best book adaptations ever. People just like to complain sometimes.


King recently announced a sequel to the Shining, 36 years after the original. Danny is grown up and working in a care centre. All seems well, but then something from Stephen King's brain knocks at the door!

I never liked the LOTR movies for the reasons described. Certain scenes are spectacular, and Gollum is cool, but that's about it for me.

For a great Peter Jackson movie that suits his epic action style, try King Kong.
