Hugo
“Come and dream with me,” a character says a one point during Hugo, which would also have been a very appropriate way to begin the film. A story about a young orphan who lives at a train station trying to solve a mystery link to his father is not be a kind of film Martin Scorsese is used to doing, but it does not show. It is a film about dreams and magical realism adventures that is entertaining for both children and adults. |

Shutter Island
If Stanley Kubrick was still alive, this is what he would have made. Shutter Island reminded me of Kubrick’s The Shinning with the creepy feel to this brilliantly written story. It’s also similar with eerie flashbacks and classical music woven throughout. Martin Scorsese plays with the viewers mind the entire film and keeps you on the edge of your seat without a single dull scene. In my mind, that is a rare thing to find in most films. |
