Shining Pig
I rented this great little double feature from the local library two weekends ago. The branch is just a five minute walk from my doorstep, located on Camden Road. They rent DVDs for a pound each.

What a mind jolt to go from cute talking critters to Jack at his psychotic best! Even when played on my computer monitor and through my crappy computer speakers, The Shining had me on edge for the entire length of the film. Stephen King, Stanley Kubrik and Jack Nicholson; what a brilliant combination! The pig didn't stand a chance.
