Shutter Island

Some people's stories seem to translate well to film. I think Dennis Lehaney may be one of those.
I just saw a preview for Shutter Island which I read last year. Leo DiCaprio strarring and Martin Scorcese directing. Looks pretty good. The story was quite interesting.
"Mystic River" is one of my all time favorites and I also quite enjoyed "Gone Baby, Gone" both adaptations of Lehane novels, so I am looking forward to this one.
Anyone else a fan of Lehane's books/movies?

I am. I loved Shutter Island and am really looking forward to the movie. Gone Baby Gone is one I watch over and over.

I just watched Gone Baby Gone the other night and then turned of the DVD and the preview for Shutter Island was showing. Ha! That's what prompted the post.
Anyhow, I think I like Ben Afleck better as a director than an actor. He did a really great job with that one.

I just picked up this book on the weekend, I didn't even realize that the movie was based on a book until I saw it on the shelf. I'm reading it now, I'll let you know how I like it.
