Shutter Island: Not good. The so called "twist" at the end can seen so far ahead it makes the rest of the hour and half just an exercise of waiting through pretentious BS. Definitely wait till cable.
Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus: If you're a fan of Gilliam you'll probably like it, if you're not, you'll probably hate it. I like Gilliam but unfortunately it fell somewhere in between for me. Maybe because of Heath's death it couldn't quite reach its ultimate goal. Nonetheless I recommend checking it out, at least for all the performances.
Leaves of Grass: Very strange, weird, little movie. I got a kick out of it but it's another one that won't be everybody's cup of tea. Had kind of a Coen Bros., dark comedy feel to it.
