The interesting and historical J. Edgar has reached local movie theaters with very good performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts and Judi Dench. The film has a few flaws, but it does give a good account of the man who was the first director of the FBI.
Turn your thinking brain on, grab hold of the arm rests and focus on the screen, that’s my best advice when you go to see Inception, an incredible thriller of a movie. Filled with awesome CGI, fine acting by a notable cast, rigorous direction by The Dark Knight’s Christopher Nolan and a storyline that outshines The Matrix. Inception is for those who like suspense mixed with amazing action.
My eagerness for the release of Shutter Island, a suspense film directed by Martin Scorsese ended with disappointment after seeing the flick the other night. What I figured from the trailer as an intriguing thriller, turned out to be a ‘Hitchcockesque’ concoction with metaphors from the likes of Spellbound, North by Northwest, Marnie and Vertigo without the twists and surprise ending. If you go to see the film, you will be served up some excellent acting and cinematography, but don’t expect a cherry on the dessert.
