Inception
Straight from the mind of the God, err … Chris Nolan, himself comes this summer’s rescue from the hell of endless sequels and lackluster effects. I am so excited for this movie to the point that I am even considering a 12:01 AM screening on Friday morning. The fact that there is one was baffling but I would presume theater owners know that some people are actually anticipating this as opposed to the next big tweeny-vampire-ish movie.

Based on what I’ve seen, I am pretty sure that Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellen Page are just a few of the impressive cast in the film as it relates to the ability to invade people’s dreams. Almost every review I’ve read has been giddily positive and while I don’t know a damn thing about Inception and I couldn’t be happier. Who am I kidding? Midnight screening here I come!

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Here we have another film that I know little of but for very different reasons. Apparently loosely based on a short from the Disney of old, this is a story of Nicolas Cage who is in over his head fighting Alfred Molina so he recruits a young kid with an untapped potential of sorcery. Unlike other somewhat iconic Jerry Bruckheimer/Cage projects, this movie does not appeal to me as it looks like a slightly grittier version of other similar stories that might have Harry in the title (and not Harry and the Hendersons). I haven’t seen any Harry Potter movies to date, that entire sub-genre of whatever holds no appeal to me, and this looks like a watered-down version of a real summer blockbuster movie.

Maybe I’m wrong but I hope Inception beats the pants off of this in the coming days.
