watched: Shutter Island (2010)

'Wow', 'Amazing' and 'That was just plain bizarre' were some of the comments to be heard as the lights went up and the titles began to roll following the 138 minutes of this suspense thriller.
The movie follows war veteran Marshall (Leo) on a visit to an asylum to investigate the mysterious disappearance of an inmate / patient ... and that's all I can say without spoiling the experience for you !
Unusually for movies these days, nothing is handed to you on a plate with this one from the first minute until you look at the person next to you for confirmation of what you've just witnessed here. You'll need your wits about you throughout to piece the jigsaw together and it should be clearly stated that this is most definitely not casual or light viewing.
The acting is superb throughout the cast, the sets imposing with the soundtrack adding intrigue on all levels.
Many modern day suspense movies get lost by running the entire feature in the dark and trying to make viewers jump from their seats during inevitable gory murder scenes. This one is very different and if you let it into your mind, you will find it tricky to get it out again !!

Recommended viewing !

Watched: Iron Man II (2010)


SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!


Not as awesome as Iron Man, however this is a sequel and a prequel so didn't walk in with high expectations. Awesome fight scenes, especially when Micki Rouke's character exposes Iron Man's weakness.

Recommended to the boys club. Suggest girls skip this one or warm up your hand to slap your man when he drools over Scarlett's action packed character. Gadget overload, as in, not as cool as the first one. Really poor boss fight, only 'real' disappointment in the whole movie, the end fight lasted 30secs I think.


If you follow Marvel 'movies' at all, you should know to stay until the end. I mean after the credits, this leads into the next film or films. 10 points for someone to guess or tell me what they found after Iron Man II credits. Post a comment and let me know.

Watched: Inglorious Basterds (2009)


This is another power play movie from Tarantino. I am not a virgin to Tarantino films, I'm quite the addict, like a moth to a flame I search them out. This masterpiece had me, edge of my seat with my insides twisted watching in anticipation of the unraviling plot. Set in Nazi-occupied France during WWII, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.
With some big names involved it did surprise me that Christoph Waltz was my stand out in this film. What he did with his character was just brilliant acting, absolutely amazing. I will not spoil anything in this review as I believe even the blood and gut haters need to see a film like this. Taratino, I tip my hat to you sir!

If only the war was how Tarantino pitched it!

Watched: Almost Famous - 2000

Despite the claims of my uni peers, I was in fact still in nappies during the period this movie was set. That said, I have a great affection for the rock music scene as portrayed so strongly here.
The plot, a young fan gets to travel with his favourite band reporting on the tour for a magazine scoop and succeeds in getting right up close and personal with his idols. Inevitably with a movie about the rock lifestyle there are skirmishes with sex and drugs and the more serious side is links brilliantly with regular humour and great music to maintain a balance throughout.
Inevitably, this one will make you look at your elders and wonder where they fitted into this bygone era - groupie ? roadie ? tutting bystander ? - it's all here folks and anyone who has any interest in music will lap this up from start to finish. Final word to the acting - I can't find fault !! Maybe Kate Hudson's relationship with Chris Robinson assisted her ... everyone is so strong and tight here throughout and the finished product is, to me anyway, a true movie masterpiece ! (The awards don't lie !!)
