Your day is going well. Shockingly great, even. That band you wanted to see, you know the one whose closest show was located three hours away, has just revealed a new date in the town adjacent to yours. Why anyone would play in Closter, New Jersey, is besides the point, ...

         How do you capture a dream, something so surreal and fleeting, that we barely remember it five minutes after waking up? People talk about the dream-like qualities of films by Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam, but few directors approach the things we really dream about. For as ...

"Titanic meets Juno!" That's what Roger Ebert exclaimed to me in a hushed yet articulate tone as we were privately screened Inception months before you saw it. "Shh! I can clearly see that." was my response. At this point in the film, Batman's Butler had introduced titanic to juno. Robert ...

Christopher Nolan's "Inception" is such a brilliant and meticulous work of screenwriting, that I think it's going to be impossible to fully explain what I experienced viewing this new revelation in cinema storytelling. It's as if Nolan used his first film "Memento", as an experiment, testing if "Inception" would even ...

Christopher Nolan's films have been snowballing, each film becoming bigger and earning the director more and more freedom to execute his visions as he see's fit. With Inception he combines a high concept premise with big budget action & CGI sequences to create what may be his best film yet, ...

 At some point in time every person sleeps, and at some point we all dream, but in this universal trait of humanity do we ever truly experience this sensation with any sort of uniformity? Is this uniformity even necessary in such a personal experience? What happens if our personal experiences, ...

 Before I talk about the movie itself, I just want to say how glad I am that it exists. A summer action movie with a huge budget that's not only based on an original idea, but a complicated one, that isn't really explained in the trailers and actually asks the ...

To call "Inception" anything less then a modern masterpiece would be an understatement.  Christopher Nolan's sci-fi thriller, "Inception" is quite possibly his greatest work as a director, and even better then "The Dark Knight", and coming from the biggest Batman fan there is, that's saying something.Assembling an amazing cast from ...

Something seems a little strange. I went to see this movie with a friend last night. He had told me all about it weeks before I even started watching the trailers and I thought why not? It looked like it was worth a few dollars and it was a chance ...

There was alot of hush-hush warning going into this film that I should avoid all information regarding its plot. I did not follow that advice. Obviously, I stayed away from plot spoiling stuff but I tried to absord everything I could about these about dream thiefs  so it was interesting to go with one ...

Not a full-length review but just a brief dissenting opinion.  I will say this for Christopher Nolan’s Inception: Among films that I didn’t care for all that much, few have given me as much pleasure. But the pleasure has come not so much from the film itself as in thinking about ...

Inception presented a daunting task for director Christopher Nolan. After all how does one follow up the most financially successful, critically lauded and fanatically loved film of their career? The Dark Knight didn't just put Nolan in an unforgiving corner, it thrust him there and a director of less fortitude ...

There are some directors that just make you just trust with your movie budget.  Christopher Nolan is on my short list of such directors.  Ever since I watched Memento, Mr. Nolan has always entertained me with movies that are one paradigm shift from most Hollywood movies. Yes, most of his ...

Before I write this, I want to extend a needed thank-you to “ TheFaithfullyDeparted ” for a reply to one of my blog posts; on the absence of originality in film. His recommendation actually began my initial interest in the film before it came out. Thank you so much for ...

There are many films made that I look at and say to myself, "I could have written a better movie than that!" - this is by no means that kind of movie. Inception is a magnificently crafted film, one that shows the talent of the filmmakers is far superior to ...

   Christopher Nolan is pretty big news these days. The guy who blew us away with best-the-first-time-round Memento, who re-launched the Batman franchise, saving it from that mid-nineties neon disco mess, is now being hailed as the saviour of the modern blockbuster movie. And with Inception, he truly deserves that crown, for better and ...

I initially wanted to buy this on Blu-Ray so I could have all the freedoms of pause and rewind I needed with this film, following the wave of "OMGWTF" that came from the interwebs, but boredom sank in and HERE I AM.Let me preface this review by saying I understood ...

  Inception is a film of wasted opportunity. As I watched the film, I would see something every few minutes that would give me hope that this was going to be a great film. Then it would leave those creative moments behind and return to being a generic action/heist film. This ...

Instead of rehashing the discussions I've seen on most message boards since seeing this film, by delving into the minutiae of dream weaving, I would like to talk about why I couldn't really get into this film as much as I would have liked to. Let me tell you a ...

I suppose that Inception is what one gets when nearly everything is perfect. With regards to ‘perfect’, I struggle to employ such a term. But when I think back to Inception, and when I recall the entire film, I can find very few faults with anything; certainly none that can ...

THE DEALA skilled dream-hacker/American fugitive is hired for a job, the reward being that he will be able to return home. THE GOODNot Everyone Is Dumb: Inception breaks away from the cinematic crowd by being what other bid-budget summer flicks aren’t: smart, fresh, and yes, complex. There is no question ...

Pictures Run Time: 2 hours 28 minutes Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ken Wantanabe I am in awe.

 Christopher Nolan is starting to become one of my favorite directors. He made a totally surreal ingenious film in Memento, rebuilt a beloved media franchise from a punchline to a tour de force with Batman Begins, and gave us one of the most well-told, visually epic films of the last ...

It's very rare that a movie like Inception comes out. When we often see movies about dreams, we think of mind bending realities that go beyond the scope of human rational; don't worry though, because this movie is crafted so well that you spend more time wondering what will happen ...

Plot: Don Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief whom of which infiltrates deep within a sleeper's subconscious during their dream-state and extracts their most precious secrets. Cobb's unusual skill and espionage have him a fugitive and distanced from his children living in America. The opportunity of Cobb's final job presents ...

I’d like to start off by congratulating Nolan and team on being able to keep the plot of the film relatively under wraps right up until people started seeing it.   Up until I actually saw the film, the only thing I could tell you about the plot was that ...

 My friends and I spent about an hour after the movie discussing it and trying to figure out what it all meant. It provided a lot of food for thought about what was happening and why and how things fit together. But nothing in the film seemed arbitrary or forced, ...

   Christopher Nolan I've been waiting for a decent movie for quite a long time, Inception was the answer. It seems Hollywood is stuck in billion dollar profiting movies: avatar *cough* twilight *cough* *cough*, and breath-taking films are slowly disappearing. After watching the ''A Team'', I discussed with my friends ...

  Anything close to a decade is a long time spent, and what you do with that time will definitely be a sum of what you are capable of. If this is true then Inception is a nearly flawless example of a complex yet pure narrative being interwoven with complex ...

 Inception is a hard movie to summarize the set up for.  I feel like If I were to give you the set up it would take away from the movie.  I can not do the movie justice by describing it in my own words.  Plus the concept is very hard ...
