Shutter Island

Point I Fell Asleep: 2:00 out of 2:18 (87%)
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130884/

You know how you always have that annoying friend that will figure out the ending of the movie like half way into it? Yeah, that's never me. I usually just immerse myself into the movie and let it go where it'll take me. Like, I still don't know the plot for "Mission Impossible 2." That's how immersed I get. However, I don't know if I've gotten smarter over the years, but for some reason, half way through this movie, I actually figured out the ending. To my detriment, the next hour was anticlimatic, thus leading me to fall asleep near the end. I had so many thoughts while watching the movie though, so let's pound through them:
  • Wow, you can't go wrong with a Leo movie. When was his last bad movie? "The Beach?"
  • You can't go wrong with a Leo and Scorsese movie
  • When was the last time these 2 didn't work together? Jeez.
  • I may have to put this movie on my recommended list
  • SNAP! I just figured out the movie
  • Okay this movie is getting long
  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  • Whew, I woke up and didn't miss much
  • Yup, sure enough, my prediction was true.
  • Sorry, I can't put this movie on my recommended list. It was "good," but I can't go around recommending it to people. Definitely rent it though.

At least the end was not a total dream sequence like Tim Robbins in Jacob's ladder
