Shutter Island - June 8, 2010

No official announcement yet, but a member on blu-ray.com says Blockbuster's release database is showing this date. I'm sure we'll get the official word soon. Definite day 1 buy for me. I loved the way this one was filmed. Had plenty of Hitchcock-esque shots in it, which is nothing but a good thing. Should be a terrific BD. Can't wait to hear the score in DTS-HD.

HDRoom has the specs and feature list. Audio is DTS-HD MA and here are the features:

>Behind the Shutters — Follows the film from its inception as an acclaimed novel through the production process and to the big screen. Includes interviews with cast and crew.

>Into the Lighthouse — Discusses the historical landscape of psychiatric therapies during the 1950s through interviews with cast and crew.

No BD exclusives. I hope the behind the scenes feature is at least an hour long.

I liked this movie, didn't love it. Marty let it run a bit too wild, but I still thought it was a good yarn, so I'd bite for around $20.

Never got around to seeing it in the theater (guess I still have time) so might pick this up when the price comes down.

I must be the only guy that found it very boring and would not sit through it again.

I thought it was good for most of the runtime, but the ending ruined it for me. There's a bit of intrigue at the last second, but I thought it could have been a bit less definitive, because that would have been more interesting to me. People who have seen it will know what I mean.

The ending is still left up to a little interpretation. Not much but far more than the Minority Report theorists.

In what way?
Spoiler:
I wanted it to remain ambiguous whether or not Leo was insane, or whether it was all an elaborate trick, and I think the ending of the movie pretty concretely answers that, what with the plastic gun and full flashback to the day his kids were drowned and wife died.

Spoiler:
I think that he overcame the insanity, but was pretending to still be insane so they would lobotomize him. He didn't want to live knowing about what he did.

I loved this in the theater, not sure it'll have good replay value but I'll buy it for my Scorsese Blu-Ray set.

MR was left open by one line of dialog (though that was from what, a janitor?), that's about the same as Shutter

indeed. I really want to see some features listed though. I love seeing the features on Scorsese flicks.

Re: Shutter Island - June 8, 2010

Marty's commentaries are always great. I wish he hadn't stopped doing them. I'd absolutely have tuned into one on The Departed, especially if it also featured Schoonmaker and occasional commentator Jack Nicholson.
