What was the last movie you've seen?

Basically, it's a Bollywood version of "The Producers". A washed up Bollywood producer teams up with an accountant to make roughly Rs 1 billion by making a flop film.

Loved it.

On YouTube, a user named lbus019 uploaded some trailers for this film.

I agree that it could have been more surreal. But they're trying to convince someone that the dream is real, so making it more realistic made some sense. Nolan's thing is kind of to stick surreal elements into realistic settings.

Anyway, it was just meant to create a story out of an interesting concept/philosophy, not be a documentary on the inner workings of the human mind.

Fair enough, but my disappointment was compounded by the fact the dreams themselves were mundane and lacked visceral/surreal elements that could have separated this movie from the rest of the alternate-reality-themed "Matrix clones". I read tons of literature that dealt with this concept long before the Matrix was even conceived, but Inception adds little that is new.

Man I'm glad I can't afford to see this movie since all of you guys have revealed what I assume is the "twist" I am not supposed to figure out until the end... still kind of ruins a movie I would have watched on Netflix eventually...

Ditto, thanks guys.

Nothing has been revealed in this thread that isn't revealed in the first five minutes of the movie.

FRIGHT NIGHT

They really don't need to remake this, it is as good as it is going to get.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - I think it had a better soundtrack, but I liked Snatch more. A solid caper/con film is always a good time.

I think it will be hard for Ritchie to top Snatch. Lock, Stock is a fun film in its own right, but I get the impression he perfected what he was going for in that earlier film with Snatch. Rock n' Rolla is fun too, but not as good as either of those first two. I still need to see Revolver.

I haven't seen Sherlock Holmes yet - did he finally move away from the same signature directing style? It would be interesting to see what else he can do...

Sherlock Holmes is in the queue for this weekend.

Inception. Just.awesome~
