The week before I saw new movie Shutter Island while vacationing in Sarnia, Ontario, I revisited grade 6 favourite, the Stewart Copeland scored Airborne. The latter is a movie about a surfer dude who moves to Cincinnati because his rich parents abandon him for some reason, and since he can't surf he rollerblades like crazy, is forced to play hockey, and tries to bed the town bully's sister. This movie sucks so bad. Its 91 minute running time is 85% occupied by montages and the main character is the most unlikable protagonist since Ferris Bueller. So yeah, Shutter Island is better than Airborne.
That doesn't mean Shutter Island is this year's Meatballs. It was kind of scary, kind of cool, kind of good and very rainy. The twists and turns were pretty good I guess, but since they were highly expected they didn't make me shit my slacks. It's like if you go to a haunted house at an amusement park -- you know there's a rube in a costume hiding somewhere, it's just a matter of when they're going to jump out and yell "fuck you!". But if you go to a real haunted house, you never know -- maybe the ghosts decide not to scare you or maybe there's a werewolf's nest in the pantry, and it's that unexpectedness that makes things chilly.
The movie starts Mark Buffalo and Leonard DeCapp and was directed by Bart Scores.
