When it comes to movies, I, probably like most moviegoers, categorize them subconsciously Do I like this? If no, I never think about it again(Except for “The Mist”, I hate that movie). If I do like a movie, it then goes to be sorted into one of three categories:
Repeat-viewability/Will watch often(very few make this cut), Will watch once in a long while, and Never watch again. “Inception” falls into the first category, more-so for me than any other Christopher Nolan film. Spoiler alert: kind of. After seeing “Inception” for a second time, I wanted to write about some of its themes. This isn’t a review, that can be found here – Inception review. For some of the themes and ideas that made the movie so good, read on !

Science fiction isn’t dead, it just hasn’t been seriously attempted in recent years. But in 2009, two exceptional sci-fi movies were released, one of them was “Moon”. Suprisingly smart, precise, wondrous to watch, especially for being a low-budget independent film. Read on to see my review.

I just saw “Good Night and Good Luck” for the first time, and man, I don’t think I need to bother writing a review for this movie. It hits on so many levels, an honorable hero, a team of guys who support one another, sacrificing for the greater good, etc. Below is the opening/closing speech for movie, and it speaks for itself on the content and quality of the film. “Good Night and Good Luck” was directed by George Clooney and is based on the true story of Edward Murrow, a CBS broadcaster who challenged complacency and violations of justice in the 1950′s. Read on to see what makes the film rewarding.

If you’re like me, you don’t like all movies. There are many that fail to connect with me, many that aren’t anything more than entertainment, many that defy their own logic structures. But a select group of films do “make the cut” for me and end up being true works of art. I watch them many times not to just be entertained, but to see the things they display.

“We all long for reconciliation”-Dom Cobb, protagonist of “Inception”. In a year of movies that are nothing more than sequels, reboots, and based off of books and games, we get an oasis in the middle of a desert of unoriginality. It’s been 2 years to the month that we last saw a Christopher Nolan movie (The Dark Knight), and the wait is finally over. Is “Inception” over-hyped, or does it deliver a solid movie-watching experience? Read on to find out, and don’t worry about it being spoiled, I won’t give anything away, plus as Roger Ebert recently wrote: “Here is a movie immune to spoilers: If you knew how it ended, that would tell you nothing unless you knew how it got there. And telling you how it got there would produce bafflement. The movie is all about process, about fighting our way through enveloping sheets of reality and dream, reality within dreams, dreams without reality. It’s a breathtaking juggling act.”

This is a hard movie for me to recommend for two reasons, the story’s subject is very disturbing and the movie is a little far from coherent. But when I think of a movie with some value to it, I can’t ignore this one.

If you’re ever in the mood for a modern film that feels like an older film, a classic, then look no further. Here’s a sweet, tender movie about a good-hearted guy, set in a cold, callous environment. Tom Hanks stars as Viktor Navorski, a man who flies into NYC only to find out that his country collapsed during his flight. Now considered a man with no home, he is trapped in the legal system and the airport international terminal. Read on to see why it’s worth watching.
