Christopher Nolan's latest, Inception. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Christopher Nolan's latest film Inception ended, the lights grew from dim to bright, myself and the 13 other people that accompanied me to the cinema were gasping, mouths dropped, hands on the sides of our heads, hearts racing, oh lord how we wanted more!
Inception is what blockbuster dreams are made of. The plot, who some have claimed involved a little too much thinking was all engrossing and got the mind ticking but was not hard to follow. Christopher Nolan exposes in front of your eyes the story of Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a master-mind of high stakes espionage who with new technologies possesses the talent to enter people's dream and extract information. It's when approached by millionaire Saito (Ken Watanabe) with a job offer that pays far more than any dollar value that Cobb begins to explore the concept of incepting an idea into someone's mind as appose to extracting it. Nolan has captured ever essence of a dream on film. It's not just that almost believable but so far from reality feeling that says dream, it's the way you are left sitting in the cinema short of breath and groggy as if you have just awoken from an intense night's sleep with the characters.
Every member of the stelar cast are on top of their game in this one. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a stand out as mastermind Arthur alongside the darling Ellen Page, although potentially half a decade or so too young for her role of recruited architect-in-training Ariadne makes it really work. Tom Hardy brings humour and charm to his role of cheeky Eames while Marion Cotillard is truly stunning in her spine chilling supporting role. Leonardo DiCaprio, as in some of his most notable performances - Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can jumps to mind - steps up to the mark as Cobb demanding notation for employing the conviction that proves why an audience loves a bad guy.
Think The Matrix with one amazing zero gravity fight scene, a little bit of that bad guy doing it for good lead character from Swordfish and a whole lot of cinematic awesome. See this film.
This movie contained most of the information in the book compared to all the other movies. It has a lot of romance and its a great action packed thriller. Both men and women. Boys and Girls. Everyone will enjoy this movie.
This is a stunning movie showing love, compassion and hope. John Nesh, a genius mathematician got a disease that sucked him into a mess that he had never imagined himself ever could get in. He couldn't tell the real world from his imaginary world. That, is only the beginning of Nesh's downfall. After getting kicked out of Princeton, and being teased and aggregated- he finally went mad. THe world didn't abandon him though, his wife had been constantly by his side giving him mortal support when he was in despair. Finally, after years of work John NEsh got rewarded with a noblel prize for his discovery in math. It is the best in years, one of the only movies that you can not miss in your life. It showed struggles still, the movie told us that there will always be victory ahead of you. If you can work hard enough to get it.
SHAUN OF THE DEAD
Shaun of the dead; is a funny Horror comedy movie, written by Edgar Wright in 2004…..
The basic plot of this film is an unbelievable story about Zombies…
Shaun; Ed; Mum ;Philip;Liz gave as a sensational horrific moment with Zombies….
The special effects are incredible; it really interesting movie…. The film is over 90mn long but it’s an horror story with interesting characters and the time passes quickly… The film is about people living with zombies and acting as zombies but Shaun have to kill his mum because she was attacked by zombie virus….
I really recommend this film- its fantastic; just make sure you watch it at cinema and not at home!
If you put Malkovich, Sinise and Walston in a movie together you have yourself a five star film.
Of Mice and Men, is a movie based on a book by John Steiubeck, It is about two men during the Great Depression named George Milton (Gary Sinise) and Lennie Small (John Malkovich). They work together in every thing they do. George is the leader and the smartest of them, and Lennie is the strongest but his mental challenges leave him naive and childlike. But the real trouble starts when George and Lennie meet with the evil Curly and his needy wife.
The acting in this movie was very good. John Malkovich's acting as a mental challenged person was impressive. I also thought that Gary Sinise was impressive by his acting skills to be a leader.
There are many problems in this story. For example, Curley's wife is always trying to get attention from George and Lennie, but when she does it is all bad for her from there.
This film is filled with suspense and action, and I would highly recommened watching it. You will laugh, feel sad and suprised during the movie.
Smoke Signals is a movie about two young Native American men (Victor and Thomas) that take a journy to Arizona from a small Indian Reservation in Iowa to return the ashes of Thomas' father. Along the way, Victor tells many stories that seem to "coincidentally" foreshadow the plot. They finally get to Arizona and find out some interesting news that changes Thomas' thinking of life. On the way back they get into a car accident with some racist, drunk white man that tries to accuse them of the whole inconvinience. Fortunately, they get out of the muck and return home safely.
You could tell the movie was really good for the 90's, but if it were made today it wouldn't even be on Lifetime. Poor acting, poor choice in music, but overall the story is what kept me watching.
Neutral

Smoke signals was made in 1998 and directed by Chris Eyre. The theme was forgiving your father and letting go of hard feelings and hurt. My general view of this movie was neutral but there are many things I personally would change about it. The atmosphere was calm and dry. The plot was not very deep but made a good point of emotionally letting go of someone or something. The momentum of Smoke signals was slow going but interesting.
I enjoyed the sarcastic personality of Thomas. Thomas was rescued from the fire by Victors father Arnold when he was a little baby. Thomas feels as if he knows Victor’s father in a way Victor does not. Thomas tries to help Victor understand his father by telling Victor stories he remembers about his father. When Thomas tells the interesting stories he uses a silly humor and catchy words. I also enjoyed the ethnic background of the Indians. I enjoyed how the Indians all had long hair; the same accents, and ate the same food. It was interesting to modern day Indians keep traditional values.
What I hated about the film was how slow it was. The movie was interesting, but there was no action, or mystery that kept me thinking and on my toes. The film did not catch my attention and was poorly made. I thought that the story of the movie could have been very interesting but the acting was also unbelievable. Also the scenery never changed, everything was the same and very boring and it became frustrating.
If I were to make this film, I would keep Thomas because I thought that he was very interesting. I would change the scenes more and make it more interesting and allot more going on. I would add more mystery, scandal, anger, fighting, etc, to keep my viewers on their feet and sweating. I would also make Victor’s dad more attractive and not so overweight.
I strongly suggest not seeing this film unless you’re in a dull relaxed mood and ready to pay attention. It is very boring and in order the actually know what is going on, you have to pay close attention. If you are having friends over for a movie night, do not rent this movie. My general view of this movie was neutral but there are many things I personally would change about it.
"I heard it on the wind. I heard it from the birds. I felt it in the sunlight. And your mom was just in here cryin'."
Chris Erye’s Smoke Signals, released June 26th of 1998, was a Sun-dance Festival film. Smoke Signals is a story about a young adult native American boy, Victor, who goes off the reservation in Washington to go to Phoenix, Arizona to get his fathers body. He, however, didn’t have enough money, so he got it from a fellow nerdy friend, Thomas, who tags along for the journey. Victor’s father saved Thomas when they were both just babes from a fire. Thomas lost his parents in that terrible fire and now lives with his grandmother. This film truly captures how life is like on a reservation.
I enjoyed watching this film. It made me laugh, made me cry, and filled with a good stories in them. This film really made you feel for the people who live on the reservations. There was a car that only went in reverse and a radio station that didn’t really have much to say about anything. For example, at one point the man on the radio said, “Big truck just went by... now it's gone.” Its like saying there really no traffic here what so ever because there really isn't anything to do here what so ever. Some things make you cry like when it comes to some tragic parts, like when he hears his father is dad. You just really feel for him. The nerdy boy, Thomas, is always telling stories to people. Here’s a short story and conversation that happened. Thomas yelled to Victor, “Hey Victor! I'm sorry 'bout your dad.” Victor then asked, “How'd you hear about it?” Thomas’ response was, “I heard it on the wind. I heard it from the birds. I felt it in the sunlight. And your mom was just in here cryin'.”
I cant really say I hated stuff within the film but I can say it felt slow. When Indians tell stories they tend to be slow so it makes sense. I overall really did like the film for many reasons. I wouldn’t say it is a must see movie but I would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes a good drama.
Dive into great fun!
Yellow Submarine is a fun,witty,charming 60's film with the Beatles. Though the plot may be odd,and the film itself too,it's made up by the great animation,funny jokes,and a soundtrack. And even better:It's great for all ages!
Even for 1883,this is as long as a scence....
Okay,so it was made in 1883,it's in black in white,and no sound,so of course it would be boring! Obiouslly...
