Assassins
Assassins
Robert Rath is a paid assassin who wants nothing more
than to get out of 'the business', haunted by the memory of murdering his own mentor Nicolai years ago. Rath is a quiet, morose professional who is on an assignment to kill someone
when someone else gets to the 'mark' before he does.
That person turns out to be Miguel Bain, a fellow assassin and a competitive sociopath.
Rath then has the trouble of trying to figure out who sent Bain,
the contractor offers him one last job that could financially allow him to retire:
killing the four Dutch buyers and the computer hacker named Electra
and retrieve a disk that contains sensitive information.
Electra has set up cameras in all the rooms of the apartment block
where she lives and watches them like watching television.
Bain is assigned to kill Electra as well. Bain kills the four Dutch buyers
who turn out to be Interpol agents and Rath comes to kill Electra
but for the first time has a change of heart.
His pay for the job is given to him in a briefcase in exchange for the disk.
The briefcase actually contains a bomb placed by his own contractor in an attempt to kill him.
Luckily Electra had swapped the disk, not sure if Rath was coming back or not.
The contractor takes the chance and hires Bain to terminate him;
now having become a target along with Electra, he must try and extract enough money
out of his contractor so he can disappear for good, while avoiding the bloodthirsty Bain.
Rath's contractor turns out to be none other than Nicolai himself
who also hired Bain to track down Electra and the disk.

The Shining
The Shining
Jack Torrance arrives at the Overlook Hotel to interview for the position of winter caretaker,
with the aim of using the hotel's solitude to work on his writing.
The hotel is built on the site of a Native American burial ground
and becomes completely snowed in during the long winters.
As a result the Hotel is closed from November to May.
Manager Stuart Ullman warns him that a previous caretaker developed cabin fever
and killed his family and himself.
Jack's son, Danny, appears to have ESP and has had a terrifying premonition about the hotel.
Jack's wife, Wendy, tells a visiting doctor that Danny has an imaginary friend named Tony,
and that Jack has given up drinking because he had hurt Danny's arm following a binge.
The family arrives at the hotel on closing day and is given a tour.
The chef Dick Hallorann surprises Danny by telepathically offering him ice cream.
He explains to Danny that he and his grandmother shared this telepathic ability,
which he calls "shining".
Danny asks if there is anything to be afraid of in the hotel, particularly room 237.
Hallorann tells Danny that the hotel itself has a "shine" to it along with many memories,
not all of which are good. He also tells Danny to stay out of room 237.
A month passes; while Jack's writing project goes nowhere,
Danny and Wendy explore the hotel's hedge maze.
Wendy becomes concerned about the phone lines being out
due to the heavy snowfall and Danny has more frightening visions.
Jack, increasingly frustrated, starts acting strangely
and becomes prone to violent outbursts.
Danny's curiosity about room 237 gets the better of him
when he sees the room's door open.
Later, Wendy finds Jack, asleep at his typewriter,
screaming while in the midst of a horrifying nightmare.
After she awakens him, he says he dreamed that he had killed her and Danny.
Danny then shows up with a bruise on his neck and visibly traumatized,
causing Wendy to accuse Jack of abusing Danny.
Jack wanders into the hotel's Gold Room where he meets a ghostly bartender named Lloyd.
Lloyd serves him bourbon on the rocks while Jack complains to him about his marriage.
Wendy later tells Jack that Danny told her
that a "crazy woman in one of the rooms" tried to strangle him.
Jack investigates room 237, where he encounters the ghost of a dead woman,
but tells Wendy he saw nothing.
Wendy and Jack argue about whether Danny should be removed from the hotel
and a furious Jack returns to the Gold Room, now filled with ghosts having a costume party.
Here, he meets the ghost of the previous caretaker, Grady,
who tells Jack that he must "correct" his wife and child,
and that Danny has reached out to Hallorann somehow.
Meanwhile, in Florida, Hallorann has a premonition
that something is wrong at the hotel and takes a flight back to Colorado to investigate.
Danny starts calling out "redrum" frantically and goes into a trance,
now referring to himself as "Tony".
While searching for Jack, Wendy discovers his typewriter;
he has been typing endless pages of manuscript
repeating "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" in different layouts.
She is confronted by Jack, who threatens her before she knocks him unconscious with a baseball bat.
She manages to drag him into the kitchen and lock him in the pantry,
but this does not solve her larger problem; she and Danny are trapped at the hotel
since Jack has sabotaged the hotel's two-way radio and snowcat.
Later, Jack converses through the pantry door with Grady,
who then unlocks the door, releasing him.
Danny writes "REDЯUM" in lipstick on the bathroom door.
When Wendy sees this in the bedroom mirror, the letters spell out "MURDƎЯ".
Jack begins to chop through the door leading to his family's living quarters with a fire axe.
Wendy frantically sends Danny out through the bathroom window,
but it will not open sufficiently for her to pass.
Jack then starts chopping through the bathroom door as Wendy screams in horror.
He leers through the hole he has made, shouting "Here's Johnny!",
but backs off after Wendy slashes his hand with a butcher knife.
Hearing the engine of the snowcat Hallorann has borrowed to get up the mountain,
Jack leaves the room.
He kills Hallorann in the lobby and pursues Danny into the hedge maze.
Wendy runs through the hotel looking for Danny, encountering several ghosts
and a huge cascade of blood from an elevator.
Meanwhile, Danny walks backwards in his own tracks and leaps behind a corner,
covering his tracks with snow to mislead Jack, who is following his footprints.
Wendy and Danny escape in Hallorann's snowcat,
while Jack freezes to death in the hedge maze.
In a photograph in the hotel hallway dated July 4, 1921,
Jack Torrance smiles amid a crowd of party revelers.
