Shutter Island Movie Review By: Windy Another review by Windy ,make sure to stop by and say Hello to her . I am so glad she is on my team. Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Michele Williams and Ben Kingsly, is the story of a Federal Marshall, Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio), sent to a mental institution to investigate the disappearance of a patient. However, as we get deeper into the film, we learn Daniels has alternate motives for visiting the island. Having fought in World War II, rescued prisoners from Dachau Concentration Camp and lived through the loss of his wife, Daniels is a person who is more troubled on the inside than he realizes. DiCaprio sinks his teeth into this role and loses himself in his character. This is one of the few films where I forgot I was watching DiCaprio and instead focused on the character. Every aspect of Daniels is well executed – from his mannerisms to his display of emotion, including loss, confusio...

De Niro And Scorsese Teaming Up Again The 67-year-old movie maker was at the Berlin film festival for the premiere Saturday of his latest picture "Shutter Island," his fourth collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio. "Bob De Niro (and I) are talking about something that has to do with that world," Scorsese told reporters after a press screening of Shutter Island, where the audience reaction was decidedly muted. "There's no doubt about that. We're working on something like that, but it's from the vantage point of older men looking back, none of this running around stuff." Rumors that Scorsese may be reviving one of film's most successful collaborations have been rife for years, as fans look back with nostalgia to classics such as "Raging Bull," "Taxi Driver" and "Cape Fear." The Hollywood heavyweights last worked together on "Casino" in 1995. Please Leave A Comment- Source- reuters

Shutter Island Pushed back until 2010 Moviegoers won't be going to " Shutter Island " this fall, as Paramount has moved the Martin Scorsese-directed thriller, starring Leonardo DiCaprio , from Oct. 2 to Feb. 19. Citing economic factors, Paramount made the decision Friday morning, only six weeks before the pic would have opened.

The Feb. 19 slot currently contains a pair of actioners: Lionsgate's " From Paris With Love " and Screen Gems' " Takers ." The studio issued a statement from Paramount Pictures chairman-CEO Brad Grey saying: "Our 2009 slate was greenlit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt ...
