Watched Inception again last night, and enjoyed it, but… here are some good articles about it:
17 criticisms of Inception<\/a>
A Q&A with Nolan<\/a>
A comparison with Tarkovsky’s Solaris<\/a><\/p>\n

This month I’ve also watched:
Batman Begins and The Dark Knight back to back – just because I could \ud83d\ude42
Alpha Dog – a banal film about the banality of evil, 3\/5
The Illusionist – well put together 3\/5
Laurel Canyon – a little bit of ‘so what?’ 3\/5
The Way of the Dragon – more Bruce Lee nostalgia 3\/5
Hot-tub Time Machine – funny 4\/5
Primer – too intellectual for my tastes 3\/5
Dog Soldiers – Brilliant! 5\/5
The Killer Inside Me – misogynistic twaddle 3\/5
True Grit (original) – John Wayne nostalgia! 4\/5
From Paris with Love – excellent chemistry between two leads; plot was meretricious twaddle 3\/5
Jonah Hex – garbage 2.5\/5
The Switch – amusing, twee, could have been a much more adventurous and spiky film 3\/5
No Impact Man – see this<\/a> which prompted me to watch it 3\/5 (as a film)
The Ghost – very good, although, having read the book, I knew what was coming 4\/5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
