TRAILER REVIEW: ‘Shutter Island’ or who cares about the title ’cause it’s Scorsese

Martin Scorsese’s next movie is “Shutter Island,” adapted from the novel by Dennis Lehane who is probably the best crime writer alive. I have this dream to adapt Lehane’s first novel, “A Drink Before the War,” into a movie. It’s one of his Patrick Kenzie-Angie Gennaro detective yarns. The characters have been in a movie already: the criminally under-appreciated, wonderfully directed “Gone Baby Gone,” which did just enough business to justify its existence in 2007. It was directed and co-adapted by Ben Affleck, who is on point.

LITTLE-KNOWN FACT No. 4

LITTLE-KNOWN FACT THAT SHOULD NOT BE LITTLE-KNOWN

Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Last Action Hero"

Chris Moore sold the script for “Last Action Hero.”

“Last Action Hero” is awesome. It’s jawsome, actually. My sister and I watched the heck out of this thing growing up. Then, when I got to college, I started watching “Project Greenlight” on Bravo, which was a television show about a competition set up by three people: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and producer Chris Moore.
