After being bombarded by the trailer to Shutter Island for months now I was elated at the chance of watching it and putting the whole thing behind me.

Notably fans of Sci-Fi will tell you that Science Fiction is beyond the action of the Star Wars and much more than the drama of the Battlestar Galacticas. Sci-Fi for true fans is a bit of...
