Review – Inception

August 12, 2010

I do not really go to the movies much. I rather rent or see a blockbuster in theater. I go many 2-3 times a year if lucky. So finally some time popped up to go see it IMAX style. Six stories and 1200 watts of movie goodness. The only way to make it better is to sell me a GIANT coke while watching.
Ok here goes my review.

Inception is a dark movie. Not as dark as Batman but Nolan did a great job of setting the tone. I have read many reviews and tried to stay away from spoilers for weeks now. People were complaining of it being to confusing? WHAT? where?

It is a simple story. These guys go into peoples dreams to take information from them. Secrets. In dreams anything goes but what happen in real life in ways still reflects in the dream states. Not only that but there can be layers of dreams. Deeper the layers you go the slower the time scale.

The action scenes are great and the dream states worked so good together. Leo great job on acting along with all your other actor(ess)es

*****SPOILERS******
I loved the ending like that. very H.G.Wells like. Anyway I think he was not dreaming.

Just finished watching this over the weekend and I was impressed. The book of ELI is a post-apocalyptic world where Eli (Denzel Washington) belives he needs to take this book he found West to the coast. The book is the bible. The movie is not colorful but desaturated as it should be. Really pulls you into the story. The story does have a nice twist at the end. Overall I think this was a good movie with a deep enough story to make it interesting.

Gary Oldman plays the bad guy and does a great job of it. I was hoping for more mad max type stuff but it felt more like a western to me. His conclusion to the story I found a bit lacking.

If you enjoy mad max series you will enjoy this. I think this is much better than “the road” which was just a depressing depressing flick.

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland.  What a movie.  I wanted to enjoy it,  really I did.  In reality the movie is like watching a SCIfi B-movie.  The characters are all there.  The Cheshire Cat, tweedle dee, dumb, the Jobber Wokie, the Rabbit, etc.  Should of been a no brainer, but it failed.  First this is not a redo of the old Alice in Wonderland story.  This is a story 10 years later when she is grown up and about to be married.  Down the rabbit hole she goes.

Johnny Dep….What the hell happened to you?  Do you only change clothes and outfits but play the same character over and over and over?  FAIL.

Highlights of the film.  The Cheshire cat is nice and so is the smoking Caterpillar. The rest is a sweaty hairy ass with strips of soiled toilet paper and tiny chunks of plop.

Alexander’s New Blog

September 2, 2009

I have decided to revive this blog for Alexander.  I found a nice blog theme for him to upload his pics and give updates.  It has been too long and using facebook or flickr is great for photos but not so much for giving updates and news.  I think this is still the best solution.
