Awsome film! Totally in to it!!
Part hystorically biographic(;)),part drama,part thriller,inteliigent action sequences.

Sincerely i had never known much about the religious denomination and political fights in Ireland and theier relationship with England. I still may not know that much but this story made me "get it".The character of it all on all sides(at least the obvious ones)
I really kind of got to understand the lives,mentality and anger of these characters. The plot was moving and i think very well written.
It moved because most of it really happened and these people are real.
Some great strong,rough drama man!!!
imho

NINE
Its like a documentary about a 50's/60's Italian film maker. Like a documentary with strong musical numbers(a collage of music videos) and very retro-like iconic shots(almost every scene could be a picture on a post card).
I had a great time watching the music performances. Set in mid 20th century but aww soooo 21st century style or maybe its just me being of the Mtv/Vh1 generation. As an aspiring filmaker-i appreciated the editing-very passionate way of story telling in my opinion.
Daniel Day-Lewis nails it! He has that adorably poetic creepy artist thing going in his eyes.;)
The plot-yup ...about one of those genius(yes,i said European) European Directors. Eccentric,chain smoker,troubled,bordeline depressed or neorotic,relationship challenged, plus perharps a small dose of " mummy issues" -this our main character is bordened and blessed with the gift to make cinema magic and he's been called upon to work his wonder yet again but....."Houston,we might have a problem"
Its not one of those musicals movies that most of us may cringe it(i'm a fan of some of those musicals like west side story,the sound of music,fiddler on the roof)
This musical is made in a way the minds of this generation can grasp the flow and soul of it.
The story is filled with a lot of passion in my humble ...you know what. I could feel it in the lyrics and texts.
Rob Marshall(director of this piece)has started his own new wave.
though it might be a tad similar to Moulin rouge and Chicago in theme style and era but...
I had humble pie for breakfast so there you go;)

THE EDGE OF DARKNESS
MEL IS BAAACCK! or should i say-MAD MAX.You might be able to tell i'm a big fan of his. As an actor- there're very few actors who can do deep sorrow,crazy,sad and fury all at one time-like he's freaking out but you feel his pain. My Mel can do that(his piercing eyes OMG..!)in my opinion he is right up there with the greats. He's had a few almost bizzarre personal crisis...but i try to grab that he's human...enough said.
SO! about this film.-Mel is in it so...lol. But seriously the guy himself picks great stories to get involved in-so this film brings home "that"bacon;)
Suspense, edgy drama and a whoah!- kind of action!with a little political conspiracy thrown in there.
Mr Gibson has a great sense of awsome drama in directing and acting.Yess again-i'm obviously a big fan and i'm probably pushing the ass-kissing envelope too far so i'll stop here.
Great story to watch.
imho

SHUTTER ISLAND
Alrighty- it's a Scorsese. So in my humble opinion-his way of story telling is an acquired taste for realism in pictures, mood and subject matter. I'm always enthusiastic to see his renditions of human life with emotional gravity that's classy...somehow .Sometimes or most times they are disturbing-but they have a message. Thats all i can think of to describe his work...lol
NOW, about SHUTTER ISLAND-at the start-a mystery story- then a little wierd mystery story-then a "come on-far fetched-mystery story. But then after all that you might feel -aw okay,i see how that kind of makes sense. I felt all that and in the end this was really just an endearing film.
Tendency to be confusing and therefore tempting to fish out plot goofs(that probably don't exist) but it redeems itself sooner than later. Leo completely drew me in. -our cute boy has come a loooong way from Titanic.;) Ben Kingsley is always convinces me. I fell in love with Mark Ruffalo as an actor all-over again.
imho
