John Cusack is Genre-jumping (!). Interesting. Hopefully this will prove to be better than the mediocre 1408. If not, I'll have to insist that John Cusack goes back to the Genre that made him famous.

Excited for Shutter Island. I just recently saw The Departed (yeah I know, I'm about a year late), and it was fantastic. Scorsese's back, at least for the moment. Let's see if his comeback lasts long enough to make Shutter Island amazing.

That's sweet that Ruffalo has joined Shutter Island. Leaves of grass sounds promising.
