Saw the movie "Shutter Island" yesterday and give it a big "thumbs up".
cool—Ted levine is in it?
Why not just get a babysitter?
For this movie, get a sitter.
I thought it was a solid Hitchcock-esque thriller. Some of it was predictable, but it had a good ending and a bit of a twist there. Good date movie.
My interpretation of the ending was the same as yours — he chose his fate.

Book of Eli is very different from this movie. Comparing them would be like saying “I took my son to see Terminator: Salvation, so now we’re going to see The Hills Have Eyes 2”.
The Missus and I went to see it last week and it was just outstanding. Great suspense movie, and it reminded me of the way the plot went in “The Sixth Sense”, in that it was the very end of the movie before you realize how many clues there were to what was really happening all along...
Definitely a mandatory addition to the Essential Scorsese and the Essential DiCaprio collections.
thanks so much! good advice
you are correct, but I love a good movie!!
not until now. thanks for the trivia tidbit. :)
I agree. I really liked it. Although there was a bit of drag time as the plot shifted and you know what I am talking about those that have seen it. Otherwise. I found it fantastic.
What did you think about The Crazies?
Thanks. If I believed some of the reviews, I’d never see this movie. Long ago I weaned myself from allowing egg-headed critics to be my arbiter of taste when choosing a film. Some of the most God-awful wastes of celluloid have been have been given “Two Thumbs Up” by Ebert et al.
Kids that young would not “get it.” not really violent, it is more of a “head” movie.
>Just a friendly reminder that every dollar you pay to Hollywood helps to fuel their anti-conservative, anti-Christian agenda.
Dont worry. That’s why there’s bit-torrent. (wink)
Now that’s funny!
You could say the same thing about the publishing and music industries couldn’t you?
Yes, you could, and should. Along with Progressive Insurance and Costco.
In the case of Costco you’re singling out one company which makes sense. But in the sense of ‘Hollywood’ most people just mean all movies made anywhere in the U.S. Same with not listening to any music or reading any books.
Shutter Island ping.
