It's been a slow start to the 2010 movie season for me, with a few personal things happening, as well as just trying to get caught up on 2009 Academy Award Nominees. I still have some more Oscar Noms to get to, but in the meantime, I've actually seen a newly released film. I'll give you 2 guesses as to what it is.
If you said Valentine's Day... you're so close. Shutter Island, Marty Scorcese's trip down Cape Fear lane, is the most recent 2010 I saw. I'm not going to try and review it here, that's not my job. I'll let Ricky handle the trailer and Patrick can handle the in depth analysis. I'm condensing it for those of you who just want rankings.
1. Shutter Island - Scorcese does a good job with this material, creating a moody and fun film about what happens when you go to an island full of lunatics. Hilarity ensues.
2. Book of Eli - After having seen the movie a few weeks ago, I remember Denzel's restrained performance the most.
Academy Award possibilities?
Best Picture: Shutter Island
Best Director: Martin Scorcese
Best Actor: Denzel Washington
Best Actress: Haven't seen any standout performances yet. Maybe because I've only been to the show twice.
Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Beals
Best Supporting Actor: Nothing jumps out at me.
I certainly hope to update this a little more often. Once the Oscars are over, and I start renting films from 2010 I should have a few more options on here other than just these two.
