Shutter Island

Last night i went to see the movie, Shutter Island staring Leonardo Dicaprio. wanting to see this movie for a few months now, it was a success and definitely worth the ridiculously overpriced 12 dollars i spent. Leo was as charming and breathtaking as he was in Titanic, along with the movie leaving the audience with the most bizzar twist. (if you haven't seen this movie yet and don't want it to be ruined i suggest DO NOT READ THIS).

I could not understand what was going on whether it was real time, and he was being drugged by the institution so he would appear in sane so they could keep him there, or if he would out smart them and return home on the ferry with his partner Chuck. It was only at the very end everything came together, that little girl he kept seeing dead and frozen during the war, being his daughter he forgot about because he was already mentally ill, and making up a fantasy life because he is in denial that his wife killed his 3 children, which is why he murdered his wife. the most frustrating part at the end when he was about to leave, and he called his (parter) Chuck. I want to see this movie again now that i know the ending, maybe i can actually savor the moments i didn't understand during the movie.

American Idol

The only reason i watch American Idol is because i actually like to hear people sing. Since it is a singing competition and not just a reality show, many people from all over the United States try out and compete for the spot to be named number one singer.. this years contestants are extremely talented!! I have been watching american idol every season and havent missed one yet. The show is with out question huge and known through out America, although it seems fewer people have been turning down keeping up with the show. Is it because Paula Abdul quit? or maybe because Kara DioGuardi has taken her spot? Or could it be because Simon Cowl is leaving? i dont know who could be upset with the idea that Elen has taken a spot in the judging panel, she makes it so much better. But what ever the reason is i hope that the show doesn't end because of the lack of fans, i think it is a great show, especially for those who love singing!
