Blindspot: The Silence of the Lambs (28/07/2012)

It’s a very serendipitous blindspot pick for me this month, since I just happened to get The Silence of the Lambs on blu-ray, in a 2-for-1 deal, and I thought that it would be a good film to write about this month (the other film in that deal was the blu-ray for Donnie Darko, which will […]

Shutter Island (21/02/2010)

I have to say that there were a few moments in Shutter Island in which I was feeling a bit confused.  It was not until the end of the film when I was able to piece everything together. If anything, this film proves that Martin Scorsese had the power to direct anything he wanted after […]
