And I have to disagree with the guy who said DiCaprio was all over the map in Shutter Island. Helllllloooo, it had a lot to do with the character he was playing (great film btw and great performance, imo, and I have no problem predicting it will get more respect with the passage of time). That said, Inception looks very promising. Just hoping Nolan can give us something above and beyond The Prestige, which didn't impress me much and had little resonance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-31177561408162208312010-04-20T04:43:11.974-04:002010-04-20T04:43:11.974-04:00Looking forward to this...absolutely.

I've watched again to try and love it, but I just don't. It's good, but not great. <br /><br />It's missing something essential...maybe it's character development. Maybe it's annoying to see so many great actors in one film not getting a chance to do anything.<br /><br />And Health Ledger, dare I say, is doing a Helena Bottom Carter "Look how crazy I am" thing. I guess it sort of goes with the territory when playing a batman villain. <br /><br />Though, I'm never afraid of someone who twirls their mustache.Chris Na Tarajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06545312034833563234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84928112510827084342010-04-16T19:36:37.021-04:002010-04-16T19:36:37.021-04:00Can I say anything more?

Never seen <i>Paprika</i>, so I'll pop that in the Netflix queue to quell my anticipation.<br /><br />I've been a huge Nolan since <i>The Following</i>. His enigmatic paradoxes and labyrinths captivate me. But the Batman franchise somehow put me off of him. I've bought both DVDs TWICE because I want to enshrine them with his other flicks. But whenever I do my biannual DVD purge, out they go. Watching them does not immerse me in the cinematic experience. (Which is bizarre because I'm a huge fan of Frank Miller's Batman graphic novels and I've adored Christian Bale since <i>Empire of the Sun</i> and <i>Henry V</i>.) In the end, as the plots unravel, Bale just kinda blahs and Ledger <i>still</i> seems too overhyped. There, I said it.<br /><br />The <i>The Prestige</i> has improved with each viewing.<br /><br />So I hope <i>Inception</i> is a return to form for Nolan and that he doesn't sacrifice too much elegance in the plotting for Michael Bay-derived razzle-dazzle. I'm excited to see how he engineers the ensemble-- these are some of my favorite players.vernininohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743454074504116461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-20595008266029862302010-04-16T12:40:48.069-04:002010-04-16T12:40:48.069-04:00ugh, I hate when characters talk about the greatne...ugh, I hate when characters talk about the greatness of "an idea" - like in V for Vendetta, "You can't kill... an IDEA!"

I'm surprised no one else has made the correlation. Especially with the city moving around, one guy "waking up", the detective story line, and even that scene in the tub!! <br /><br />Also, I'm glad to see a more mysterious preview. I wish more previews would give us less. They are supposed to peak our interest, not give away the whole story. <br /><br />It's one of my pet peeves to get the whole story and all the best lines in a trailer. I'm usually in the theatre, saying out loud, sarcastically, "I wish they would show us more."Chris Na Tarajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06545312034833563234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-22597101917258070982010-04-16T07:48:53.524-04:002010-04-16T07:48:53.524-04:00It's Christopher Nolan.
