Directed by Martin Scorsese, 'Shutter Island' stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels, a US Marshall investigating an escape from the high security Shutter Island facility for the criminally insane - a mysterious island fortress in the middle of Boston Harbour. Along with his partner Chuck, played by Mark Ruffalo, Daniels can get little information from the authorities and before long he's caught up in a series of disturbing events which suggest that some very unsavoury things have been happening here. But when a hurricane comes in there's no way off the island and the Marshall soon finds himself trapped and entirely at the mercy of the people who run the place.

Based on a story by Billy Roche and directed by Conor McPherson, 'The Eclipse' stars Ciarán Hinds, Iben Hjejle and Aidan Quinn. It's the story of a widower trying to find peace after the death of his wife. During a literary festival in Cobh, Michael Farr meets up with a writer whose specialty is the supernatural - which is just as well because he is starting to see some very strange things. (Haunted, it seems, not only by his wife by someone else who isn't quite dead yet.) And she has her own problems with a man who won't take no for an answer.

'Lean on Pete' is the new novel from Willy Vlautin, a writer also known as the frontman of the band Richmond Fontaine. It's the story of Charley Thompson, a 15-year-old boy who must follow his father from one job, and one girlfriend, to another across the Pacific Northwest - constantly moving home and moving school. But when his father's ways finally catch up with him, Charley has to fend for himself. He gets a job looking after horses and soon finds a true friend in a racehorse called Lean on Pete - Pete for short. But this is no Seabiscuit story. Pete is a doomed horse being run into the ground and just when he's about to be sent to his inevitable end, Charley and Pete hit the road together. They had off for Wyoming in search of Charley's Aunt - and the only chance of a new life and a settled life. 'Lean on Pete' is published by Faber.
