Water for Elephants
(2011)

Perfect.
Although the title of this review pretty much sums it up, in order to post a review i must include 10 lines of text. So here goes. This movie starts out with a similar feel to Titanic like many have said. It takes you back 70+ years and takes you through and incredible journey of passion, adventure, and just life in general. For every up there is a down, for every laugh a cry. You find yourself full of emotion at so many points in this movie it's hard to not get chills at times. The ending is well written well acted out and well, like the rest of the movie is just perfect. How this is only @ a 6.3 rating currently is beyond me, hopefully more people will take the time to post this movie was a solid 8.5 in my opinion and is a must see.

Shutter Island
(2010)

Disappointing, and Left Shaking your head
OK...going to start by stating the obvious the reason this movie is getting good reviews is simply b/c it's a Scorsese piece and nothing else.... This movie starts out slow and really goes no where from there. There is a part at the movie where the plot starts to unravel and you find out what you were already starting to think was going to happen happens. And you start to get the sense OK....here we go this is where this boring snoozer is going to take off and be typical Scorsese and be GREAT..... then the movie just abruptly ends...with no closure and no real explanation of what you are thinking in the back of your mind is gonna happen next....you are left shaking your head wishing you could have these 2 hours and 10 minutes of your life back......
