Watched Shutter Island last night. Not much like I expected, even though I knew what was going on. Disturbing at some points, but not scary like I recall the trailers being. Overall, not bad, like it, but the music at times was a bit over the top. After finally seeing Mark Ruffalo in a dramatic role, I still don't think he can play Bruce Banner in The Avengers. I don't think he has the "inner demon" capability in him. But that's neither here nor there.
The night before we watched Rock Star. After getting Shutter Island for 75 cents, the lady up front said due to all of our discounts, we got a free older movie rental. We wandered around the store, but my wife hates spending time in there (apparently when she was younger her mom would just stand around in there, never really making a decision). Eventually I just grabbed this and said we're getting it. Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston, what could go wrong? Recently I've been on a Mark Wahlberg kick. Even if the movie is bad, I can count on his mannerisms to make me laugh. And you know, I think we actually liked Rock Star. The soundtrack was cool, it was funny, it had the guy from Third Eye Blind for some reason. While iTunes labels it as a Comedy, I've noticed, its not particularly, but I think its at least worth a free rental.
