None of those movies were really very good. Yet, Cape Fear had De Niro--either completely hammy, completely brilliant, or both.

I just love the humid and sticky aesthetic of those movies. The atmosphere is dense and sweaty, a bit like Body Heat; and the scores seem to revel in it. I like that sort of stuff.

Cape Fear is nothing like Shutter Island, nothing like it at all. Shutter Island is never vile and is always better than Cape Fear. Cape Fear fails on so many levels, first of which is being a remake it fails to even touch the quality of the original. Cape Fear is an A-lister remake of a B movie that stoops the the level of a bad Z-grade hack and slash film.And yet you hate Cape Fear. Which to me is almost identical to Shutter Island.

Gangs Of New York and Cape Fear do have the same over-the-topness.

The former doesn't look sweaty and greasy, though. So I don't associate them.

But that's due to the different subjects, not the storytelling.

Many people hated the movie but I'm one of the few who likes Daredevil. That and Evanescence (we like to play it in our band).
If you put John Williams in a dryer, you get Jerry Goldsmith! You get the downside version!

Cool!
I suggest a full frontal assault with automated laser monkeys, scalpel mines, and acid.

Their first album was great all the way through. Second album had a few good songs surrounded by forgettable garbage. Third album was terrible from note 1
