You're welcome, I'm soooooooo wishing we saw Alice in wonderland (or anything else really) instead. It still really ticks me off that the trailer for this movie looked so cool, when the movie itself has almost nothing to do with what looks cool in the trailer

At least if you did that you wouldn't have the embarrassment of actually paying for it! Also it's much easier to turn it off that way instead of holding out hope while you're sitting in the theater that it's got to get better. But yes doing just about anything else would be better, unless you're really really really bored or you're having trouble sleeping.

See, I've been told Shutter Island was a awesome movie. I guess it's all what you like and who you talk to...

I always check the tomato meter at http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1198124-shutter_island/ It sounds like it's not a bust but I'm easily amused and horror and thrillers are my fav. I'll give it a chance.

These two comments from that rotten tomatoes site pretty much sums it up for me "It comes on strong, but in its bloody heart of hearts it’s no more resonant than one of those old Vincent Price-Edgar Allan Poe contraptions – and less entertaining, too." and "The film's audio-video barrage ultimately just puffs up corny B-movie material to the point of distension." I also love horror thriller movies and honestly if I went to the movie thinking it was going to be more like a documentary then a horror thriller then I may have enjoyed it more. However the music is very much like a corny B-movie, which when the movie is trying to be serious it's a bit of a turn off.
