Shutter Island Review
Martin Scorsese's latest film, Shutter Island, is absolutely fascinating, at times frustrating, too long by half an hour, has pacing issues - and is worth seeing twice. In fact, it's almost necessary to see it twice. A psychological drama reminiscent of Hitchcock's work, Shutter Island (despite its flaws) not only solidifies the fact Scorsese's a master filmmaker, but showcases the best performance of Leonardo DiCaprio's career.
The Story
To say too much about the story would be giving the twists of the plot away, and I don't want to spoil the experience for anyone. So, the least possible spoiler-ish explanation of the film is that it's 1954 and U.S. Marshals have been called out to investigate the disappearance of a woman who murdered her children and has been locked up at the Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane since being found guilty of the horrible act. The hospital is located on Shutter Island, a remote location available only by ferry.
As a hurricane bears down on the island, U.S Marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) and U.S. Marshal Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) must try and figure out how the murderess escaped from a locked room without anyone noticing and where she could possibly have wandered off to on the small island in the middle of nowhere. Again, that's the basics, but in no way is it the real meat of the story. To say more would risk ruining the suspense of watching Shutter Island play out.

Fashion Week in chaos
Fashion houses are scurrying to ensure that their collections are seen by Miss Wintour, rather than relegated to the days either side of her fleeting visit.
Industry leaders believe the week should be compressed into a few days and scheduled around the main fashion houses.
The British-born magazine editor, whose fearsome reputation has earned her the nickname "Nuclear" Wintour, provided the inspiration for Meryl Streep's character in the film The Devil Wears Prada.
She has reportedly shortened her attendance because after Milan she has to travel to France for Paris Fashion Week and will then fly to Los Angeles for the Oscars on March 7.
Milan's world famous fashion festival lasts from Feb 24 until March 2. Now the most important haute couture houses are reorganising their shows to coincide with her visit, from Feb 26-28.
Her decision has left fashionistas in a panic and prompted accusations of arrogance.
"Anna Wintour, the woman who holds Italian fashion in the palm of her hand," ran a headline in Corriere della Sera, the country's most respected broadsheet.
"She wants designers to schedule their shows during these three days," said Mario Boselli, the president of the Italian Fashion Chamber.
He told The Daily Telegraph: "It has bad consequences for many, many people involved in the shows, from stylists to models to hairdressers". It's absolutely crazy.
"She's welcome in Milan but if she only comes for a fleeting visit, perhaps it would be better is she stayed at home."
Fashion houses such as Dolce and Gabbana, Prada, Fendi and Armani who were due to show their collections towards the end of Fashion Week now wanted to change dates, Mr Boselli said.
He said that Paris Fashion Week had resisted similar suggestions for the biggest fashion brands to be concentrated into a few days.
"They have a bit more spirit in Paris and they said no," said Mr Borselli. "The Italian fashion industry is the best in the world but, in contrast to the French, they don't seem to recognise their own worth."
