Movie Review: Shutter Island

I am writing this from the hospital. I needed a decent rush of adrenaline. So, I watched Shutter Island. Now my adrenal cortex is fried. Ladies and gentlemen... drum-roll...the ideal "Plot movie" is here.
All you atheists out there better watch this one. God has directed this movie. The entire 2hr 15min run is flawless defined. Shutter Island deserves to be put on a pedestal and worshiped. If I ever doubted Martin Scorsese's talent as a director, then I must start rigorous self chastisement right away.
The movie revolves around a detective exploring the case of a missing patient on Shutter Island, an asylum for the mentally unfit and violent. That's all I can say. From that point, the number of gut wrenching turns the story takes is unbelievable. I think I finally found a cobweb in a screenplay woven more intricately than the one across the script of The Usual Suspects.
And ofcourse, If you have the likes of Leonardo Dicaprio and Ben Kingsley in the lead, what the bloody hell else is going to happen? I think Kingsley and Dicaprio are in a race to out do each other in this dark, lucid thriller. The story is unpredictable to say the least and unforgettable to say a little more.
The cinematography is so-so but it is compensated for by the eerie settings and gradual murderous pace of the movie. I don't think I'll need a nail clipper for a few weeks thanks to Shutter Island. This is one hell of a nail biter. Do not miss this. I repeat... DO NOT MISS IT.

Final Verdict: 5 on 5. Probably the best movie I have ever seen!

Ode To Exams

You loom where devils roam free
Hell bent on robbing our glee
A trouble no man must bear
Examinations... at you I bravely stare.

You drive decent souls to the edges of insanity
Our Freedom deprived: useless numbers now measure our vanity
You're nothing but dirty, disgusting and crass,
To you the student community says "Kiss my pretty ass"...

May the creator of exams rot in Hell's Tunnel!
May Satan thrust pineapples up his anal canal!!
Let the world ridicule this thoughtless deed!
As we sit in dim lit halls and perspire as we proceed!!

Bring this nonsense to an end,
Before our spines stay forever bent.
Read, learn, revise and recite.
By the end of it, our bodies lie in coffins and our souls drift towards the ethereal light!

Author's Note: Tomorrow is the first of our board exams... My feelings for the system are summed up quite vivdly above. Comments welcome.

Ode to Maiden

In our AGE OF INNOCENCE, we WASTED YEARS and sat aimless at 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT.

In such times, you taught us to be a TROOPER and overthrow the CHAINS OF MISERY.

You rid us our FEAR OF THE DARK by shining BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS.

We were EDUCATED FOOLS but thanks to you we're RUNNING FREE now. By becoming the GHOST OF THE NAVIGATOR, you showed us a DIFFERENT WORLD.

You turned us into men who can proudly show their ACES HIGH. Now as you leave us, we become CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED. The world is bland, THESE COLORS DON'T RUN anymore.

Who if not you will clear the thick HOLY SMOKE to tell us the tale of the FLIGHT OF ICARUS. Now as you leave us behind in this BRAVE NEW WORLD, with only your LEGACY to cherish, we kneel and chant... HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

IRON MAIDEN...we stand by the golden GATES OF HEAVEN and await...we await THE FINAL FRONTIER.

You guys are legends... We'll miss you...
