The movie was about Cobb (Dicaprio) the best extractor in the business. His team botches a job, but the person they were supposed to steel secrets from, Sato (Watanabe) hires the Cobb and his college (Gordon-Levitt) to plant an idea called Inception. They have to plant the idea for a company heir to break up his company. Cobb will then get to go home (I'm not going to mention why he can't. No spoilers here.). Ideas are much harder to plant than to steel. Cobb has to reassemble a new team and a complex anti-heist with three dreams within dreams. There is one more problem, Cobb's subconscious keeps sabotaging the job. The movie was great, well casted, the plot was really intricate, but didn't lose me. No plot holes, just sheer brilliance. I wish my dreams were like that. The only thing I can complain about is the opening. It starts at the end of the story and goes back to the beginning. It was a little out of place and unnecessary. The begging heist would have been good enough. This movie delivers a five out of five.
Warehouse 13:
Last night's episode was adorable. The team track down an artifact in their own back yard. A strange artifact projecting clips of old movies that are completely tangible... and by that I mean real. Things could actually hit you... as Peter can attest. We also meet a new person who is most likely going to be Claudia's love interest. I don't know if it was that obvious or if I read it in a spoiler. Oh well.
Eureka:
The second episode has the group locked in this alternate future. Any possibility of getting back through the time-bridge-thing were dashed when Einstein's bridge thing blew up. So the six of them (Carter, Fargo, Allison, Henry, Joe, and Dr-from-past-whos-name-I-forget) are stuck in the alternative future. More things have changed. Fargo is head of GD and is apparently a totalitarian boss, Jo is head of security at GD because the robo-cop from season 3 is Deputy. (I'm glad he's in it. i like that character). And fun stuff. They can't tell people they are from an alternate time-line though, the DOD has protocols to arrest people from another timeline so they have to keep it all on the DL. This next episode looks like we'll be dealing with what Fargo of this timeline has done at GD: looks like he pissed people off. Can't wait.
Opening this Weekend (Synopsis by !Yahoo):
Salt: A new Spy-drama movie. Apparently it's supposed to be a little 007, a little Jason Bourne and a little MacGyver all with the intrigue of: is she innocent or not. It looks like it has a lot of potential. I'm definitely going to try and see it this weekend.
When becoming a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. But when a defector accuses her of being a Russian sleeper spy, her loyalty is tested to the limit. Salt goes on the run to clear her name, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture, protect her husband, and stay one step ahead of her colleagues at the CIA.Apparently the script had Salt portrayed as a man. I like the fact that it's was changed to a female character. There really aren't that many capable, kick ass female characters that aren't a sex object as well. Refreshing to say the least.
Ramona and Beezus: Don't really know what this movie is about. I just know I'm not really their target audience. It stars the Disney girl from Wizard of Waverly Place and everytime I read Beezus I keep thinking it's Jesus and that's not right... here is the synopsis.
Based on the characters from the timeless best-selling children's books written by Beverly Cleary, "Ramona and Beezus" follows the misadventures of the mischievous and accident-prone kid Ramona Quimby and her overachieving older sister Beezus as they try to help save their family's home on Klickitat Street. This heartwarming G-rated film is one that the entire family can enjoy, from the little ones meeting the girls for the first time, to the parents who grew up with the stories.Rumors Galore:
-Joseph Gorden-Levitt (that's right, from Inception) will apparently be the riddler in Batman 3. It's not set in stone yet, but it's looking real possible. Nolan will be directing the last installment of the Batman series, at least it's the last with him directing. Nolan doesn't like 3D (yes!) but he may shoot the entire film in IMAX.
Anticipatron TV!
The Anticipatron is a term coined by Rotten Tomato Show. They judge movies based off their trailers. I'm doing the same here, but with TV shows.
-The Event: Could the title get any more vague. The trailer isn't helpful much either. Something happens and blah blah blah. For all we know it could be the main character's car won't start. The scripts will have to be awesome and the show to be paced right in order for the show to last the season.
-Nikita: A TV show based on La Femme Nakita. Talk about femme fetals, this movie practically coined it. What has me worried though is the fact that the show is on the CW. The only good show that network has is Supernatural and that got started when it was still the WB.
-The Cape: Another comic-book inspired/based show. I like comic books and all, but still it's getting a little old. And with Syfy's the phantom out just last month, I feel like the plot for both are similar. Okay, not the same, but still: One good guy against a whole slew of bad guys forcing the good guy underground. This does have potential. I just hope the script and pacing can support the concept.
Oh, The last Scott Pilgrim Book is finally out. Just in time for me to read it and reread the whole series before the movie comes out in August. yey!
Also, Comic-con is this week! If anyone want's to share any insights on new geeky shows, movies, etc. leave a comment.
