Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

I watched Shutter Island over the weekend. I didn't expect much after hearing so many negative things about it, but I liked it a lot. I guess I'm in the minority, but I thought it was very good.
It was pretty easy to guess the plot twists pretty early on, but I think that almost adds to it.

My biggest complaint is that there wasn't enough meat in the plot.

Rated: 3.5/5 stars

Let me know what you think if you happen to check it out.

Pretty cool flick.
I like mind benders like that.

You should follow that up with M. Butterfly.

Yeah my thoughts as well. Kinda one of those rare good horror movies you would catch on USA Up All Night. Campy but good.

Spoiler!

If your looking for another sleeper, straight to video film like 'Triangle', check out another Red Box movie called "The Cry of the Owl'. I liked it even a little better than Triangle because that seemed to cop a Twilight Zone ending too easily.

As far as Shutter Island, it's been a little while since I've seen it but I thought it would of been better if Leo was really a cop and they had convinced him he was crazy. At the end after everything had taken place, Ben Kingsley leans over to the nurse and said to go hide his badge and gun, or something like that.

Alice in Wonderland was cool - I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I kind of regret not seeing it in the theater.

I'll be watching "The 25th Hour" tonight.

Watched "edge of darkness" enjoyable mel gibson flick, more talking then action that is for sure. Predictable as well worth a rent.

Shutter Island was solid and i 'got' the ending

Excellent movie. There's a great monologue in there. You'll know it when you see it.

Surely, you can't be serious.

Sheeeeeit.

That was a great monologue though.

**Buck** · 06-16-2010, 04:03 AM

Just finished 25th Hour. I liked it, but didn't get the point of the film. I gotta think on this one. Why did Siragusa roll on Monty?
