Moving on with the Movies

Welcome, welcome, it is time for some movie talk.

Seen Inception? Definitely best movie I've seen in a loooooong time. Let me rephrase that: Best *new* movie I've seen in a loooooong time. I've seen some really good old movies too! But, I must say if any summer needed a breath of fresh air, it was Summer 2010. It has been one of the weakest summers for the film industry in years. Thankfully, the movie mastermind behind Inception (Christopher Nolan) is also the brains behind Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and many more. Let's face it, the man is a genius. I mean it, a genuine genius. He makes movies that make people think and see it many more times just to try and understand it. He is, as the British say, "brilliant" and I can't agree more.

The only bad reviews that Inception was given were "I didn't understand it." or "It was over-rated"

Idiots. All of them.

Anyways, if you want a cutesy movie to take you kids to see then head right on over to "Despicable Me" brought to us by Illuminations (newbies to the animation biz). It was cute and I want a minion.

Also, a new movie released last weekend was Charlie St. Cloud, starring Tro-- I mean Zac Efron who goes and plays baseball with his dead brother after a "graphic" accident scene. Then Troy Bolton meets the "boat girl". Anyways, I recommend people see it just because.

New this weekend we have The Other Guys and Step Up 3! I have low hopes for the Other Guys, I don't think that Marky-Mark is the greatest comedian, but that is just me and well, frankly, Will Ferrell always seems to disappoint since whatever his last movie after Elf was.

Next in the starting line-up we have, Step Up 3D or Step Up 3, brought to us by Jon M Chu, choreographer for that dance group (AC/DC or Adam Chu Dance Crew) I've heard that SU3 wasn't the best for plot lines but the dancing was amazing and watching the movie is only meant to be consumed if you want to have a fun time watching some street dancing competitions for the comfort of your theater seat.

And that is all for now.
Thank you.
