badfellas and un-wise guys
What a week of releases we have! First off, Martin Scorsese - arguably the finest American director currently working - is back this week with Shutter Island, a slice of pulpy B-movie goodness staring Marty’s current leading man of choice, Leonardo DiCaprio. Nick and Graham hitch a ride on the last ferry to the titular wave battered rock to review the insanity within.
If that wasn’t enough, the golden duo of Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon, director and star of the - almost* - universally adored Bourne movies, hit the big screen this week with their familiar shaky-cam shenanigans in Green Zone, the fourth Bourne installment in all but name.
In a subliminal homage to these films this week’s show is a macho affair, brimming with testosterone filled arguments and gratuitous swearing. Screen Shrapnel don’t make up for their sins in church. They do it in the cinema. They do it in the Subcity studio. They talk a lot of bullshit and they know it.
Go on, have a listen; you'll only be slightly disappointed.
*for the record, one of the Shapnel trio think that Doug Liman’s first Bourne installment (The Bourne Identity) is far superior to Greengrass‘ efforts
