If Movie Posters Did Their Job…

We wouldn’t have to sit through a movie that sucks because the poster would tell us everything we would need to know. Let’s be real though, posters aren’t going to do that because the people that design them need to do their jobs. However, if posters were honest from the beginning, this is what we would learn about our Oscar-nominated Best Picture films.

  • Ricky Gervais as host
  • Andrew Garfield Andrew Garfield Andrew Garfield
  • Chris Colfer winning his award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role and dedicating his award to those that have been bullied: “But mostly importantly [a thank you] to all the amazing kids that watch our show and that our show celebrates and are constantly told ‘no’ [by] people and environments and bullies at school, that they can’t be who they are or can’t have what they want because of who they are,” he excitedly told the room, adding, “Screw that, kids.” [Source] Seeing Lea Michelle cry during his speech almost made me tear up.
  • Benjamin choreographed the film, and also you may remember him as the guy in the movie who was asked: “Would you sleep with that girl” and he said, “no”.‘He is the best actor – he totally loves sleeping with me.’ – Natalie Portman accepting her award for Best Actress in Black Swan

Inception

I really love what I do. Tonight my work allowed me the opportunity to see the advanced screening of the new film “Inception,” due out this Friday, July 16th.

I don’t want to give too much away about the film because you will enjoy it so much more if you know less. In fact, Leonardo DiCapario said in an interview not too long ago that he liked that there was so much mystery surrounding the trailer and what the movie was about because it added more suspense.

The cast was amazing. Leonardo, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and Marion Cotillard blew me away. Some movies rely on an all-star cast to generate more buzz, but most of the time it isn’t accounted for. In fact, many are left feeling unsatisfied. With Inception, you won’t be. Every person has served their purpose. No one impressed me more than Miss Ellen Page. Even though she broke out of her Juno character with Whip It, she truly showed her wide range of acting abilities in this movie.

The film was beautiful, thrilling, and daring. It will keep you on the edge of your seat for all two and a half hours, but you’ll love every minute of it. Christopher Nolan did an incredible job with it all and you might even catch a few similarities from The Dark Knight as well. It’s funny how the movie is about dreams and imagination because you will  find yourself being pulled deeper and deeper into it and it is such an overwhelming feeling how attached you will be to this film in the end. What is real and what isn’t? This film will push you to think. It is complex and built upon layers, but it isn’t a chaotic mess. Just follow along and if you get a little lost along the way, maybe your imagination will put you back on the right track.

The reviews are coming out as we speak. The tough critics over at Rotten Tomatoes have already given it a 96% which is pretty damn good! For reference Toy Story 3 received a 99% and Eclipse got 54%

I also received some incredible responses from our viewers tonight:

“I can’t wait to go to sleep now!”

“…One of the best movies I’ve seen in two years.”

“Exceptional – best one I’ve seen all year.”

“I trust Nolan more than any other director.”

I highly recommend seeing this movie. I might even see it a second time. Let me know what you think!

Fall/Winter Movies to come

When I’m at school I never get the chance to watch movies. The theater is within walking distance, but not only am I a poor poor college student, I mostly just don’t have the time or would rather do something else with my time. However, I went to a few movies this summer and saw many many new trailers for movies set to be released this season
