Summary

Jim and went to see Dr. Sleep tonight, and left the theater wide awake. It's not The Shining, but it doesn't try to be. Instead, it does it's own thing, which in retrospect is appropriate for a movie about an adult Danny Torrance, who battles his father's demons with addiction to emerge a better man. The cast is amazing, led by the ever engaging Ewan McGreggor and relative newcomer Kyliegh Curran as the brightest Shine of a generation. Director Mike Flanagan (Gerald's Game) once again proves a deft hand adapting Stephen King. Don't go in expecting Kubrick, and we think you'll be pleased. See you next week for Ford v. Ferrari!
