Storyline
Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) 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. |

Hi folks, I know how much y'all love the Oscars, so I've made it my business to check out all of this year's nominations for Best Picture.
Here for your reading enjoyment, are the 2011 runners and riders.
127 Hours
What's it about? A guy gets his arm trapped while out hiking. He has to chop it off to escape.
Is it any good? Yes. Very good. If you like 'Into the Wild' and 'Touching the Void' you'll love this.
Will it win? No. Beaufoy and Boyle just got a gong with Slumdog Millionaire. Won't happen again.

The Kids Are All Right
What's it about? Two teenagers conceived by artificial insemination make contact with the guy who donated the sperm. By the way, their parents are lesbians.
Is it any good? Yes. Surprisingly good. Although it's hard to go wrong with Annette Benning and Julianne Moore.
Will it win? No. Compared to the likes of 'Ordinary People' (winner in 1983) it doesn't hold a candle.

Trivia: Whoever thought that sperm donation was a good idea?

What's it about? King George VI, the present Queen of England's father. Stammering.
Is it any good? Yes, it's excellent. It works both as a historical drama and a very personal story.
Will it win? No.
Should it win? Yes. It has bo...

I walked out of the theater grinning from ear to ear. I straight up loved this movie. Sure, there were some errors and it wasn't perfect, but it was something completely different than what was(and is) considered a summer blockbuster. SO enjoyable, especially for film buffs.
