Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese

Top of the month February 2010: Shutter Island

Madness…? This is Ashecliffe!

Why should you go see Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese, right now?

– Because of the sound of the double bass that follows the main characters from the fog to the gates of the detention facility.
– Because it’s not only a film noir homage but a highly elaborate graphic universe.
– Because the island of Doctor Scorsese is more than a set, a character on its own (Lost anyone?).

Runners up :Fantastic Mr. Fox by Wes Anderson and I Love You Phillip Morris by Glenn Ficarra & John Requa.
(not to mention Brothers by Jim Sheridan, Lovely Bones by Peter Jackson and Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie)

Zombieland by Ruben Fleischer

Top of the month November 2009: Zombieland

This place is so dead.

Why should you go see Zombieland by Ruben Fleischer, right now?

– Because of the opening title sequence shot in slow motion, playing Metallica’s « For Whom the Bell Tolls » out loud.
– Because of the survival rules (and their reasons) and the hunt for the last Twinkies on Earth.
– Because of the best cameo appearance ever!

Runners up :A l’origine by Xavier Giannoli and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus by Terry Gilliam.
(not to mention Rapt by Lucas Belvaux, The Box by Richard ‘Donnie Darko’ Kelly and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by Rebecca Miller)
