SHUTTER ISLAND: NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

US Marshall Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is not having a good day.We meet him as he is puking his guts out on a ferry boat on his way to investigate a mysterious disappearance of a imprisoned mental patient on Shutter Island; the home of the criminally insane. Partnered up with Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) they set off amidst the creepy and foreboding settings to try to discover how a frail woman with no shoes could have escaped from a locked cell. Little do they know what lies ahead for them.

THE LODGER

THE LODGER: WHAT A THRILLING MOVING DAY                  Nothing like a good old fashioned murder mystery. This one involves a Jack the Ripper copy cat in West Hollywood which is the same size area as where the Ripper murdered in London. Alfred Molina is Detective Manning who has made it his priority to solve a string of murders that were once attributed to a man who was sentenced to death on his watch. At the same time a mysterious lodger (Simon Baker) pays a generous amount of cash to rent out the cottage from a young couple, particularly exciting the odd woman (Hope Davis) who holds some sort of eccentric secret. The question is do these two events act independently from one another or is there some sort of connection between them?
