Yay for the props to Thelma Schoonmaker. As an aspiring editor it annoys me when even my fellow classmates don't know any great editors like her and can only name off Walter Murch as a heavy hitter in the film world (to Murch's credit, he does deserve the praise--In the Blink of an Eye probably taught me more about editing than any of my actual classes).

EDIT--Also, Happy Birthday Bob.

He made Taxi Driver. I think I'm obligated to see anything else he makes.

Ok. I actually saw this before the review this time, and I have to disagree. Maybe i was too high expectations? Yeah probably. But the whole movie comes of as generic and, frankly, boring. I was really looking forward towards the downward spiral of the characters sanctity, but thats all been done before. And better. I came out of the movies with a big resounding "mehhhhhhh"

I have to disagree with Bob this week, as in him saying its freaky and "bow your mind" stuff. It wasn't for me at least. Although it should be noted that I was expecting deep and symbolic shit, so, if you set your expectations lower, you may enjoy it.

Thats my mini-review.

Oh, and take Bobs advice on not even watching the trailer for this! Not even joking, it just puts the twist infront of your face for you to read. You have to be half way retarded to not see it.

sigh, people still cant tell the difference between a Bostain and Newyork accent I see.

It's actually a appropo- because Shutter island (if I'm not mistaken) is supposed to be off the coast of Boston.

that is totally fine your being honest thats why I saw the film and it should win best visual effects because lets face it. It looked amazing but when people say oh the plot is deep and really well done that is what sets me off since the plot was well im gonna say the plot sucked.
