Oh, the glamorous life of a crook! Who hasn't fantasized about abandoning their unfulfilling, law-abiding careers to finance a life of felonious intrigue with ill-gotten gains?

Doctor Sleep is the totally unnecessary sequel to Stephen King's The Shining. I think there are vampires in it, maybe? That sort of nonsense. Stephen King hated Stanley Kubrick's near-perfect take on The Shining, so you know where that dude's coming from. Doctor Sleep is also, thankfully, something else: a

Just think. Ten years of sound bouncing off sweaty, hip, vegan bodies and concrete walls. Ten years of smells. Ten years of Olympia's Le Voyeur - which night after night seems to provide this fine rag with something bizarre, brazen or brilliant (sometimes all of the above) in the form
