“The Shining” is Still Shining 40 Years Later
Overall, The Shining is a great film to watch for its atmosphere and setting. While the characters’ portrayals could’ve been more accurate to the book, they’re all still memorable nonetheless.

# English Translation The story follows the lives of four families facing the impact of Covid-19 throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO) in different situations. The first story tells of Kak Sal who is forced to face the challenges posed by the pandemic with her disobedient children who never listen to her, while she also has to care for her elderly mother. The second story of this drama revolves around Fitrah and Ramadhan, a married couple who work as frontliners during Covid-19. The increase in Covid-19 cases in Malaysian society results in all hospitals being filled with infected patients, including Fitrah's parents who also test positive for Covid. Pregnant Fitrah is unaware that she has been infected with this dangerous virus until it eventually claims her life. The next story centres on Radhi who is very selfish as he avoids telling those around him that he has been infected with the virus and continues to do business and meet with resellers.

As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.
This horror movie combines elements of horror and babysitting with Black representation.
“Reboot” can be crass and has much room to improve, but with investments of time and care, could flower out of the seed of a vision.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
