In fact most … Continue reading →

Batman Begins (2005) – It was a dark time in our history after the debacle that was Batman & Robin. Eight long years passed with no Batman movie at all. There had been consideration of letting Joel Schumacher continue the franchise.

In Time (2011) – I had a lot of reasons to root for this movie. The main one was that I am big fan of Andrew Niccol’s previous film Gattaca (as well as The Truman Show, which he wrote but did not direct). I even liked his lesser movies Simone and Lord of War. So … Continue reading →

Inception (2010) — Christopher Nolan, the director of Memento and The Prestige, must have sat atop his giant pile of Batman money and thought to himself “hmmm… you know I haven’t really mindfucked anyone in a while…” Well, Inception did not fuck my mind. It made sweet sweet love to it. With a primary cast … Continue reading →
