The Beach (2000)

The Beach (2000)
Director: Danny Boyle
Cast: Leonardo Di Caprio, Tilda Swinton, Virginie Ledoyen

Tilda Swinton, I have seen her movies earlier, but not able to associate her with those movies now.

Travel. Explore. Lots do.

But when you travel and explore, with “what do I have to lose” attitude. Then it’s different. When three such guys get together, you reach/find ‘The Beach’. That’s just for starters.

It’s interesting to think how would you want to live your lives, if you could get to lay down the rules. Right from scratch. Only you need to keep the place, secret from everyone else. Scary a little, and idyllic and ideal to a larger extent. Welcome aboard, take a swim with the crew…

Shutter Island (2010)

Director: Martin Scorsese

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Emily Mortimer


Well, I am not a sucker for the thriller/horror genre. When I saw the poster for Shutter Island, I thought ‘Lost’. I had no intention to watch it, till it dawned that it was being directed by Martin Scorsese himself. But then, it lacks the charm of Martin Scorsese movie, is what I felt. May be the bias against the horror genre works against the film.

Anyways, that’s not the only bias, I still haven’t got around to believe that Leonardo can be a tough guy :)
