Inception Review: Four Bad Movies For the Price of One!!!

inception-reviewIn this Inception Review, I’ll tell you why you need not rush to see this movie if in fact you want to bother with it at all.

I was initially excited about Inception because I like almost all of the actors in it.  I enjoy nearly all of Leonardo DiCaprio movies.   We also have Joseph Gordon-Levitt of 500 Days of Summer fame, and Ellen Page, who played Juno, one of my favorite movies.

How to Enjoy a Movie Twice [or a Mr. Brooks Movie Review]

mr-brooks-movie-reviewMy friend “rented” the movie Mr. Brooks last night. The dance clubs were a-calling so we were only able to see the first 15 minutes. We will watch it later today.

I have seen the movie Mr. Brooks…and I haven’t.

I did see it. About 6 months ago, Mr. Brooks was one of the first movies that I saw when I arrived in Uruguay. They promoted it very differently here and made the movie seem much better than the promotion I had seen in the USA.

No Country for Old Men: Movie Review

no-country-for-old-men-the-movieAfter seeing No Country For Old Men, I was left with this feeling: huh? This movie won the Oscar for best picture?

I saw the movie in Uruguay. Typically, they show English movies in English with Spanish subtitles. I like this. A dubbed movie (which they do on television here) is simply irritating.
