Inception

Is it really possible to insert my idea into your brain and make it your reality?

According to concept of "inception," it is possible...so let's see if I can make you go see this movie, love it, and tell all your friends.

You are getting very sleepy. Very sleepy.

You're not?

Okay, well it was worth a shot.  On to the review.

My views on the latest Leonardo Di Caprio movie is that you won't leave feeling disappointed in spending the 10 or 12 bucks at the movie theater.  The plot, script, and acting were great.  And who doesn't love a good intrigue?

Movies like these always make me wonder if this technology exists.   The idea of extracting information from a person's mind is common, but to be able to place an idea, the person didn't think of themselves, in their mind and have it shape their reality...WHOA!

I think effective marketers have known this concept for years. Put an organic sticker on it or a check mark on the side (Nike) and people will believe your product is superior.

I can't say this movie is superior to most but if you want a Matrix version of The Departed...you got it.

The Last Airbender

I just watched the new M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Last Airbender.

I have watched all of his movies and what I like about the director is that he does venture out of mainstream and give the audience something different.  However, I feel that his movies normally lack something.  You walk away thinking, "why didn't he make that ending better?" or "is that the end...really?"

I actually enjoyed this movie.  It was entertaining, had the action, plot, and great story.  It does leave you hanging in the end. BUT it eludes to a sequel, which I look forward to seeing where he can take this story on film.

So I guess Shyamalan has caught on...either that or he is tired of bad reviews.

Who knows? Maybe this can be his "Matrix" or "Lord of the Rings" triology claim to fame.

Danielle the Movie Critic

This is an introduction to my latest blog...a movie review blog.  I am always being told by my family, friends, and co-workers that I should be a movie critic.  I believe it is time to do just that.

So without further ado...welcome.
