What happens when Martin Scorsese, the master of personal, gritty, nuanced filmmaking decides to make a schlocky, B-movie-style, psychological thriller? You get a delicately constructed, multi-layered ode to the classics of Hollywood cinema, of course.   Hitchcock, Kubrick and all the greatest elements of the noirs and suspense pictures of the 1940s and 50s are on full display in “Shutter Island.”  Also, Scott and I tackle Breck Eisner’s remake of Romero’s 1973 semi-cult-classic “The Crazies.” Can Mr. Eisner outdo the king of the zombies, or is this just another example of Hollywood’s terrible lack of originality?
