The usually brilliant Martin Scorsese takes a turn to directing a psychological horror film. Two United States Marshals travel to an island off the east coast of the United States that reminded me of a cross between Alcatraz and an asylum. The film is very moody and the plot is twisty and supremely melodramatic, though few of the twists seem like new ideas. Real fans of the genre might be forgiven if they claim to have seen this before, but seldom seen in such masterful hands. Laeta Kalogridis wrote the screenplay based on a novel by Dennis Lehane.

When we were told that the stars of the new upcoming comedy “Hot Tub Time Machine” Clark Duke ( SEX DRIVE, “Greek”) and Collette Wolfe ( OBSERVE AND REPORT) were coming into town to promote their new movie, and that on top of that they would be placing a giant hot tub literally in the middle of the Air Canada Centre. Naturally we had to see this with our own eyes.

An interesting night followed, not just because of the overabundance of bubbles or the “cameo” by Maple Leafs hero Wendel Clark, but because it allowed for a chance to speak to these two stars in a very informal way, so much so that Clark Duke still was getting foam out of his hair as we spoke to both stars.
