Shutter Island- Friday, March 5

She Said:
The date - movie night to see Shutter Island
The preconception- a must see, and I will really enjoy this scary thriller- it's Martin Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio- what's not to like?

The scene- local dumpy movie theater, but we almost had the place to ourselves for the late show, so no complaints here.

The verdict - not as scary as previews would have predicted. The movie really stimulated some conversation afterwards, and overall, I really enjoyed it. I was waiting the whole time for a twist, so that might have deflated the momentum some for me. It was definitely creepy, smart, and ultimately, tragic.

He Said:
It was good. Better than I expected. I didn't see the twist coming at the end, I expected something, but not that. In hindsight I think hey were going for a Sixth Sense or The Usual Suspects type movie. It was a good try but they didn't quite pull it off. The music was a bit obtrusive, they really hit you over the head with the score. It was distracting in some places. Overall though it was a good date movie, the ending is left a bit ambiguous so there can be some good discussions to be had when it is over.
