Shutter Island

Martin Scorsese has a way of just getting under my skin, and generally not in a good way.  I want to like him.  The man is a truly a film-lover full of knowledge and appreciation of film history and theory.  Very few within Hollywood 'royalty' can claim the intensity of his study of cinema.  I salute him for that repeatedly however for me - his films always leave much to be desired.  Maybe it's because I'm a woman and his films are generally overtly masculine.  I really don't know what it is but over and over again, I'm unenthusiastic about all of it.  Shutter Island was a bit of a snooze fest.  I honestly don't have a lot to say about it.  Seems like those couple of hours could have been spent on something more interesting.
