October is Kubrick Month

Stanley Kubrick is a genius. To celebrate October, I will be watching and comparing Kubrick's movies to their source materials. I start with three of Kubrick's most highly regarded works:


2001: A Space Odyssey, based on the short story The Sentinel by Arthur C. Clarke


The Shining, based on the novel by Stephen King


Barry Lyndon, based on the novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray

If time allows, then I will be reviewing A Clockwork Orange. Just for viewing since Kubrick wrote the screenplays I'll also watch Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and Full Metal Jacket.
