The World's Greatest Lover (1977)
Another great and funny movie from Gene Wilder
Back in April of this year I heard that The Worlds Greatest Lover was going to be on AMC and I was like yes I'm finally going to get to see this movie, I'm a big Gene Wilder fan so.....yeah, anyway the only problem was that it was going to come on at 3 in the morning on a Monday which was a school night for me so I asked my mom to record it for me, so when I came home from school I saw it and thought it was awesome, two or three months later I ordered the DVD off of Barnes and Nobles and I now have it on DVD what I had heard from this movie was that Gene not only stars in this movie but writes, directs, produces, and surprisingly wrote a song for the film as well, I think Gene's take on Rudolph Valentino was pretty cool and I think he came up with some clever ideas like "histerical laryngitis" and sticking your tongue out or twisting your words around whenever his character is nervous. I also thought Carol Kane was wonderful as Rudy's wife Annie and Dom Deluise was as funny as usual as movie mogul Adolph Zitz, one thing you probably found annoying was Gene Wilder's constant screaming and going into hysterics all the time but he does it brilliantly, plus the character of Rudy was very high-strung kinda like Leo Bloom right? so if you like slapstick comedy or if your a fan of Gene Wilder, I highly recommend this and I'd say its another one of Gene Wilder's forgotten films and its a great one to look out for, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.
The Shining (1997)
the shining mini-series
I saw the movie version of the shining with Jack Nicholson because he is my favorite actor and i thought it was great,so i decided to read the book and when i did i realized that it was totally different from the Stanley Kubrick version.I then decided to see the mini-series with Steven Weber which was like 4 hours long but pretty worth watching. The mini-series was pretty much more like the book and gave you a better explanation of what "shining" means. So if you like Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick I recommend the movie version or if your a fan of the book and want to sit through 4 hours or I guess a fan of Stephen King or maybe Steven Weber I recommend the mini-series. But overall their both great to watch for any shining fan.
