So... it is pleasant to be back in the land of the internet. I have not been able to post the last of my blogs thanks to ma-hoosive computer issues. So here we go, the last 2 films to end the challenge. Now the blogs more prolonged but the films most certainly watched. so film 29...
Day 29 - 4th February
Snacks Eaten - Pastries from work.
Film 29 - Shutter Island
Directed by Martin Scorsese
Year - 2010
Once again, one of Dennis Lehane's novels has been adapted for the big screen and this time, at the helm is Martin Scorsese. Like the brilliant Mystic River, this story is full of suspense, bold characters and surprising twists. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a U.S marshal who is sent to a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of a missing patient. Soon, DiCaprio and his partner (Mark Ruffalo) start to experience strange goings on about the island.
This thriller touches on aspects of Hitchcockian style horror but is not as powerful as some of Scorsese's earlier work. Although thoroughly enjoyable, it was also slightly disappointing. The cast were terrific, one of DiCaprio's shining roles for 2010 as well as Inception. A haunting score complements the mood and allows the film to be effectively scary but without significant depth.
Holly Would. She loves her cheap thrills. So from this to my final film..... Some Kind Of Wonderful!!! the link? come on Hawkeye.
