Shutter Island was a good flick. It's 1953 and two federal marshals are sent to Shutter Island, off Boston, to a hospital for the criminally insane to investigate the report of a missing patient. The movie trailers didn't do it justice. Suspenseful and riveting to the end, which is, I think, perfect.
Grizzly Man is a 2005 documentary about Timothy Treadwell, a troubled, idealistic guy who spends 13 summers in grizzly country in Alaska, studying them, "protecting them" (although from what, is never established as they're protected on Federal Land--it is established the some bears are "culled" annually, but he doesn't seem to have tried to change this in any way), and living with them. He and his girlfriend are killed and eaten by one particularly nasty fellow that shows up that last season. Treadwell most definitely had a way with animals, making friends with a family of foxes and at least came to an "understanding" with most of the bears he met over the years. Fascinating and disturbing.
Vampires and werewolves and love oh my...yes, the sparkly vampires are back in New Moon -what an odd place is the town of Forks, with all these monsters running around. I enjoyed it --what can I say? (not saying it's good and I'd rather see the movies than read the books).
