Inception [2010]

Just saw Inception, and it is without a doubt the best movie I've ever seen. It was an enthralling, dreamy, adventure unlike anything else I've seen. Christopher Nolan has created another mind-blowing masterpiece of film to add to his already commendable filmography. Top-notch acting, effects, script, soundtrack and story. The way the story is told is so engaging, and intrigues you from the first moments. It is a surreal, thrilling, story that questions what is real and what is only what we want to be real. Inception is deep without being pretentious, and keeps you thinking for the entire movie, and for hours after. Really thought provoking, psychologically stimulating story and beautiful special effects make this a must-see. I won't ruin the plot by saying much about it, other than that it is spectacular, and combines some elements of James Bond and some of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind while still being completely original. If you haven't already seen it, definitely go watch it ASAP. It more than lives up to all the hype.

Peace,

Shutter Island

So last weekend I went to see Shutter Island. This movie is a really good, suspenseful mystery movie. This entire movie is full of creepy-ass characters, creepy locations, and the great creepy soundtrack really adds that extra bit of creepiness at all the right places. The story is a great "mess with your mind and leave you completely lost for most of the show" type plot (which is my favorite kind) about a very intriguing situation, with an intense twist waiting at the end. As you probably already know, Shutter Island is set in the 1950's at a hospital for the criminally insane on a small, rocky island. The main character, Teddy Daniels the marshall, is played by Leonardo DiCaprio who gives one of his best performances that I have seen. All the other actors also do amazing at their parts as patients, wardens, and doctors and the superb acting really makes this movie. I won't ruin the plot for you guys by giving anything else away. My recommendation on this one is go see it in theatres, this movie was easily worth the price of a ticket.
