Man this thing must have come on 10 times on TBS last month in British Columbia - and everytime it was on I found myself just watching it again and again -- I also mutterred complaints that the dummies at TBS kept taking out so many important bits. It's an incredibly "viewable" movie which seems to strike all the right notes for pacing and the narration by Freeman just lulls you into watching. I'm glad I had it on my top ten list of the 1990's and I have a tough time not making a case for it to be in my top ten all time. 1994 was a very strong year with Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show and even the amiable Forest Gump was better than Hollywood puts out most years.

The Shining I also agree on -- Jack Nicholson though is like that -- his carisma alone is worth the ticket most times even in lesser films. For instance Batman was a dreadful piece of garbage every second that Jack was not on screen. Every second that Jack was on screen made it highky watchable. Now if he was on screen all the time it might have saved Batman -- but alas - Keaton was as dull as pain still in the tin, and Bassinger was it? Is an atrocious actress.
