Re-watching #TheShining (1980), after many years, after seeing a key scene devoted to the movie in #ReadyPlayerOne (2018).

Just started watching it but it's still as creepy as I remembered it. 😲

Gotta to put that hotel on my bucket list for places to stay before I die. 😉

It's the #StanleyHotel in Estes Park, Co, north of Boulder & Denver;

#Movies

I was in the mood & just watched #ReadyPlayerOne (RP1) & #BatteriesNotIncluded (BNI) for some hybrid animated fun.

Even though I'm not a #VideoGame player anymore, I really like RPI which I'd rate an 8 for entertainment value.

RPI was directed by #Spielberg. Great special effects, great pacing, great action & great integration between live shots & animation. I recommend watching it if you've never seen it before.

I always thought that BNI was also directed by Spielberg. That's not the case but its shot in his style. BNI (1987) stars #JessicaTandy & #HumeCronyn as a "older" couple who are trying to be forced out of their home (which also contains their business) by a real estate developer. They also co-starred together as a couple in #Cocoon (1985) who are visited by a family of mechanical devices.

It's just an innocent, fun family movie. I'd give it a 7 & also recommend it if you haven't seen it before.
