I saw Shutter Island on Saturday with Chris and his brother Marco. DiCaprio and Scorsese do not miss with this one. To tell you any minute detail of the movie would not do it justice and probably reveal the ending so I will not even attempt even though I have tried to explain the plot more than once and failed miserably at doing so. Like I said DiCaprio is amazing but the supporting cast is crazy good also. The guy next to him in the above picture plays his partner, this guys is equally good as Leo in the movie. The actors name is Mark Ruffalo or Ruffolo or some shit like that. He was also in another one of my all time favorites: All the Kings Men. Dude also graduated from F.C. a while ago. Here is the link to Anthony Lane's(The New Yorker) take on Shutter Island. Spoiler Alert: Mr. Lane does not like the movie as much as me.
So last week I substituted for an I.S.S. coordinator for a few days which is to say I did no teaching; I sat there and made sure 2 students said nothing and did there work all day. This might be the dopest job I have ever had. I sat for like 5-6 hours and just read and after getting bored with reading I watched movies on YouTube. I came across this movie on YouTube and the only reason I watched it was because Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor were in it. This movie did not disappoint. The Last Time I Saw Paris is a movie adaptation of one of my favorite short stories by one of my favorite authors: Fitzgerald's Babylon Revisited. The movie deals with disillusionment caused by WWII in Paris, of course. Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor both play the leads, again can't miss with these 2 in any movie that either are in.Either way you see one of these 2 movies and your time will not be ill spent.
Love,
Adam
