With big films like this I tend to weigh different aspects of filmmaking and rate them separately. The final rating is then an average of all scores. I don't know why, but I feel I need to structure this review that way and try to give an accurate analysis. Whenever one of Nolan's films is criticized it tends to veer towards a right wrong discussion. Nolan has a huge fanbase and they are welcome to defend his films, but as…

"Inception," at its most basic, is two things. It is a heist film dressed in science fiction conventions; and it is a study of a man trying to free himself from a near-suffocating past. "Inception," at its more complex, is a cerebral pop-masterpiece. It is an enthralling combination of thought-provoking, layered story-telling and sumptuous aesthetics enhanced by near-flawless editing, sound design, effects, and musical score. Driven by a pitch-perfect cast and the confident directorial hand of Christopher Nolan, "Inception" is a brilliant and unrivaled piece of filmmaking.

A week ago I wrote a particularly hateful piece on Christopher Nolan's latest abomination, The Dark Knight Rises. Since then I've been thinking hard, perhaps too hard, about why it is that I can't for the life of it enjoy the critically acclaimed “masterpiece” Inception. At the time it came out it was THE thing to talk about, nothing even came close to being as hot as the apparently intellectually stimulating blockbuster that is this movie. I had seen The…

I must have seen Inception a dozen times now, and on every single viewing it feels like the first time around. That surely testifies to the genuine brilliance pouring from Christopher Nolan's epic, which I first reviewed on release back in July 2010; that review, for the most part, stands below as I feel the same way about this movie as I did the first time I experienced it. Simply, this is exactly what a modern blockbuster should truly be…

There comes a time in every film fan's life, that a film comes out that simply grabs you by the balls (or boobs) and simply doesn't let go. It's one of those rare films that presents nearly everything you could possibly want in a film.
Action ... Suspense ... Drama ... Mystery ... Sci-Fi/Fantasy ... Romance ... Tragedy ... Thought-inducing themes ... and an ending that kick starts deep debate and soul-searching.
Each and every single one of those elements…

Christopher Nolan brings a visually enthralling mind-bender to the screen with a top-notch cast and a huge budget. Leo Dicaprio,Tom Hardy,Cillian Murphy,Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the delicious Marion Cotillard lead the way in a movie complex enough to make your head hurt.Lucid dreaming,manipulation of the subconscious mind and the implantation of memories and ideas,told you it was convoluted.
Clever,cerebral and with set pieces and action galore this was Christopher Nolan's finest film until a certain Mr Ledger put on some scary… -

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Christopher Nolan is a masterful storyteller. Inception was one of my favorite films of 2010. I think what I love most about it is this: you can watch it once and take it for what it is at face value and love it, or, on the other hand, you can think about it for days and try to figure out different theories and possibilities and still love it! I'm part of…
