Inception Deception

I'm no movie critic, but I thought "Inception" was supposed to be a new movie?  Instead it appears to have been a remake of "The Matrix", "Shutter Island", and "Titanic".  No wonder Leonardo was like, "This movie is gonna rock."  It was a no-brainer.  History repeats itself, Leo (just like your relationships with supermodels). 

I was refreshed by a much less sarcastic Ellen Page.  There is only so much of that girl that I can take (I barely made it through "Juno").  The MAN CANDY of Tom Hardy was much appreciated.  Jesus, that guy is H-O-T.  Speaking of . . . have you ever noticed how Cillian Murphy has the weirdest ability to be incredibly attractive one second and then really, really creepy the next.  Kinda like that Seinfeld episode where Jerry is dating that girl who looks really hot in certain lighting, but really scary in another.  Weird.  Moving on . . . I always like that 3rd Rock kid (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in whatever movie he's in (e.g. 500 days of Summer) and that includes this movie.  I think it is the fact that he is not only adorable, but accessible--you know, like someone you could see yourself or your friend dating.  I mean, he has dimples for goodness sake!

Anyway . . .

Don't get me wrong, I like Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor and "Inception" did keep me on the edge of my seat.  It made me think about physics and dreaming and corrupt business owners and psychology and totems and blah, blah, blah.  Until the end, when all I was thinking was "What?!  This is crap . . . ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

Yours Truly,
