Movie post

I finally got around to seeing Shutter Island. Don't worry, no spoilers in this post because I'm too tired to go into specifics but wow. I'm usually brilliant at guessing twists in movies or novels but I didn't see that coming. Creepy movie. Leo DiCaprio looks even more amazing than ever. I think most men become more handsome as they age, although maybe not Macauly Culkin.



Another one I tried to see this month was Alice in Wonderland. I say "tried" because an hour into the movie, the cinema experienced a power failure... fun. It seemed ok from the first hour, although it was a little boring and I failed to see Alice's charm. I've not seen the actress who played Alice in anything else but I thought she was a little bland in comparison to the other actors. The visuals were amazing though, particularly the costume design.

After seeing the brilliant Shutter Island, I enjoyed a mediocre meal at a local restaurant with a fellow single friend lamenting over the whole lack of marriage issue. It's nice to have someone to share the confusion with. It actually terrifies me to think that someday, I might not have any unmarried friends. Of course I'd be immensely happy for my friends if they found the one, but I'd also feel completely alone. And on that sombre note, I shall head off to bed and try not to dream about Dicaprio on Shutter Island.
