Inception

Yes, I realize it's been awhile. Blogging is hard, especially when there are 87 other commitments that come before it. And no one reads this...so...

I've seen a lot of movies since my last entry, I did make it to see Love and Other Drugs and was very very disappointed - go ahead and miss that one (unless you have a thing for Jake or Anne because they are naked pretty much the entire film and if they aren't naked they are either dressing or undressing). I went to see Blue Valentine since my sister was an extra in the film, and you see her which is cool, but man was that depressing. My friend and I cried pretty much from start to finish.

But onto Inception, the dream within a dream within a dream, within a dream? That's not confusing at all right? Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor and without him this film would probably fall apart and at this point if I see Ellen Page in one more film I may gag. I need a break from her, Hollywood has a serious too-much-of-a-good-thing problem. That or Ellen Page just works her butt off. I'll be happy when she gets a big enough paycheck to just do one film a year. I enjoyed this movie, the special effects, and trying to figure out just how messed up DiCaprio's character really is, and it didn't hurt that I was writing a paper on dreams the day I watched it, but I wouldn't necessarily watch it again. The action sequences were numerous and often hard to keep track of. I understood what was happening but never really the why behind it. Why would this technology exist? If it's for pure pleasure that seems really unlikely - it makes people too vulnerable. It didn't blow me away or change my life and I really didn't care if the end was a dream or not - it seems like it doesn't matter anyway. This one's good for entertainment purposes and I'm sure looked good and worked fabulously on the big screen.
