Shutter Island



Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio
Ben Kingsley
Mark Ruffalo
Directer: Martin Scorsese

Two U.S. Marshalls are called to investigate an escaped prisoner from a mental institution, Shutter Island. Teddy Daniels(DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule(Ruffalo) begin uncovering the secrets of the island and the deeper they dig the more the island may consume them.

This psychological thriller will have you wrapped up into a web of lies, murder and secrets. The twists and turns will have you sitting on the edge of your seat while cringing at the same time. Shutter Island played on every emotion: fear, joy, sadness, and heartache. All brought together by the skillful hand of Scorsese.

If you are a fan of Hitchcock then Shutter Island is just for you.

Shutter Island will "make" your night. In fact I would say that it can make a few nights as you will enjoy talking about it for days trying to figure all of the elements of the movie out.

Zombieland (attached trailer is graphic and not intended for children)


Zombieland - Trailer
Uploaded by dreadcentral. - Classic TV and last night's shows, online.

Zombieland
out on DVD now

Starring: Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigal Breslin, Jesse Eisenberg
Directed by: Ruben Fleischer

Staying alive in a world taken over by the undead looking for their next fresh meal of guts has never been so funny. Charactors only known by the town they hail from band together to survive. With a special appearance by Bill Murray that will have you laughing out loud.

Columbus(Eisenberg)a college student trying to make his way back home, armed only with his rules to survive a zombie attack and a double barrel shotgun is picked up by Tallahassee(Harrelson), a hard ass, zombie killin, redneck. Together they set out on a journey of survival, but the zombies won't be their biggest problems.

Bringing laughter into a world of zombies isn't easy and Zombieland does not disappoint. I would not recommend this for a date night, but if you are looking for just a fun movie Zombieland would be at the top of my list. A zombie movie that rivals Shaun of the Dead.
Zombieland brings together a cast that you can't help but cheer on. Michael Rechtshaffen says it best in his review, "Bottom Line: A bloody, disgusting blast."

Zombieland will defiantly "Make" your night.
