Going to watch Shutter Island tonight.  I've deliberately avoided reading anything remotely resembling a spoiler.

The butler, who was his father, did it.

And he's a chick.

Actually, he's two chicks at the same time.

And Bruce Willis was dead all along.

And Darth Vader is Bruce Willis's dad.  Or something.

Shutter Island was an excellent film.  I thought that movies of that sort had gone extinct.

[Habbaku]

I enjoyed it, but I am not sure that it will win any awards, nor that it will deserve any.

[Oexmelin]

Cinematography, perhaps.

World's Greatest Dad - Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, starring Robin Williams. Best Robin Williams role since One Hour Photo, imo. Great dark anti-Little Miss Sunshine kind of movie. Robin Williams is subtle and great. all the supporting players, equally hilarious. fun "little" movie.

I hear that Snape kills Dumbledore's sockpuppet.

Observe and Report. It straddled the line between funny and weird pretty much the entire movie.

Yeah.  Sadly, I think it fell more on the weird side of things and just left me feeling less than enthused about the whole affair.

Shutter Island.  Was ok.  Hadn't seen any previews so I had no idea what it was about, but it seemed very predictable as I was watching it.

Facing Ali, Directed by Pete McCormack [namedrop] customer at my store actually and brother of a friend [/namedrop]

Actually more about the guys who faced him than about him, but not really. Good addition to the Canon of Ali inspired media. See Joe frazier well up with nostalgia over beating people to a pulp, and Ali's current condition. They talk to Chuvalo, Foreman, Frazier, Leon spinks, Holmes, and a few others. Really interesting, and worth multiple viewings.

The Signal. A bit silly and it would probably have benefited from having a single director. Smells of movie makers fresh out of movie university. Still in many ways an OK variation on the zombie theme. And the little chick is HOTT.

[Sheilbh]

Saw "Fish Tank" in the theater.  A very powerful British-council-estate social problem slice of life drama combined with teenage female coming-of-age, with more handheld, neo-realistic camera work than earlier films in that mode.  Highly recommended.   

I recommend Red Road, same director/writer

[CountDeMoney]

Caught Shutter Island.
A much, much better film than I had expected.
