Inception

13 Aug

Inception was filmed amazingly.

If Christopher Nolan doesn’t get Oscar nominations for his performance as a writer and/or as a director, we will be shocked.

The mere size of some of the effects is breathtaking.

However, Nolan keeps it down to earth with a very good cast and great storyline, as a film of this size has the potential of becoming a CGI-driven mess.

Nolan manages to avoid this completely, creating an almost perfect story which draws you in, and really leaves you thinking about the characters and the events which just transpired on-screen.

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.

Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved.

Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption.

One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception.

Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one.

If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.

But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move.

An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Salt

07 Aug

This turned out to be one of those over-the-top but real decent thrill-ride type actioners.

Though there are those out there who just won’t cut Angelina Jolie a break, even the haters can’t deny that the girl can act.

She’s excellent in this film, about one of the CIA’s top interrogators who’s accused of being a Russian sleeper agent.

It’s fairly early in the film when the action begins and it runs and runs from there on.

There’s a good twist to plot much later on and we like movies that let you try to figure them out as they go along, rather than force feeding you the answers with dumbed down dialog and screechy music because the writers assume the audience is too stupid to get the obvious story movements.

This one doesn’t do that. :)

If you’re not a fan of crazy stunt sequences that no one (in reality) would come out of without broken bones, much less survive, then maybe you won’t enjoy this flick too much.

Otherwise, see it, it’s a blast, it’s got a good cast with Liev Schreiber (always excellent) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (ditto), and the storyline rips right along.

Check it out Today!.

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country.

Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.

Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.

Salt’s efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: “Who is Salt?”

It’s also been dubbed as “The Bourne Salt-imatum” you heard it first here at et – the place to be.

How To Train Your Dragon

04 Aug

How to Train Your Dragon is probably the best Dreamworks picture we have ever seen.

If you didn’t know it was a Dreamworks picture, we wouldn’t be surprised if you thought it was a Pixar film.

This movie is almost as good as those amazing Pixar movies out there.

First off, let us say that you must watch this movie in 3D.

It’s not one of those movies that has 3D for the sake of it.

The visuals are absolutely stunning and a definite must see in 3D.

It’s not very predictable, it is enjoyable for both adults and young kids.

From the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon.”

Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers.

Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges he and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

Warning: The Dragons may look a little scary to some younger kids.

All in all, the visuals are perfect.

Enjoy! ;) magic
