Review: Inception

Inception is something special. It is the artistic culmination of everything Christopher Nolan has done, from Memento to The Prestige, from Following to The Dark Knight – every trick, every technique, every idea a snowflake in an avalanche colliding into one incredible opus.
It is a movie whose hype is entirely justified, a wholly engrossing and amazing piece of popular commercial entertainment.
This is what expensive, high-tech Hollywood art can and should be. READ MORE!

Everyone seems to be buzzing about The Last Airbender’s Rotten Tomatoes score of 7%, asking things like “is it really that bad,” “is it actually worse than Marmaduke or Twilight: Eclipse,” or “is it really that bad?” It really is interesting to see how much discussion there is out there about scores and numbers and percentages alone on this movie compared to what discussion there is out there on what exactly made the movie so shitty. The Happening is quite possibly one of the worst acts of cinema ever perpetrated on the world, but knowing its Tomatometer score is 18% does nothing to clarify that. READ MORE!

Triweekly Podcast: Summer Movies, Double Downs and Centipedes
Triweekly (or so), I gather with friends associates Mike Konieczny and Patrick Stone. We sit at a round table as if to summon eldritch spirits, consume a mighty, greasy dinner, and record.
Feel like something’s missing in your life? Clearly, the answer is meandering, blabbering and unfocused discussion on all things video games, movies, TV, etc. (and etc.)

I actually recently read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Love of the Last Tycoon, and adored it. It’s basically The Great Gatsby plus golden age Hollywood, and now I’ve just reminded myself that I need to watch Elia Kazan’s film version starring Robert DeNiro and Jack Nicholson (!). All I could find on YouTube is this wonderful ditty in dire need of some spell-check.
This also reminds of of RKO 281. Oh, Liev Schreiber, what have you done to deserve this?
Space may be the final frontier, but it’s made in a Hollywood basement
