Incredible-Nolan keeps improving and Inception is by far the best improvement!

I saw Memento very recently, something that turned out to be a great miss.I saw it again, just to make a couple of thins straight-and i'll definitely do the same with Inception.

Christopher Nolan keeps improving himself, with even more complex and multilayer script like this.And i thought Memento was hard to reach by most of the viewers, but no.Inception will keep you mesmerized and captivated by the genius, that's hidden behind it.And not just directors and screenwriters (or with other words-Nolan), but with acting and sound-and effects and editing as well.

When you have a cast like this-i mean Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Lewitt, Michael Caine, or Marion Cotillard (a personal favourite), the movie just keeps going flawlessly.Most of the crew is the same the Nolan brothers worked with on TDK and earlier in Batman Begins.So the Oscar noms in those categories are a certainty for me.

The only thing one could have against the movie, is the headache one could have.See, most of my friends go to the movies for brainless action, they enjoyed Iron Man 2 and The A-Team, but this movie-you have to see it at least twice, to understand it.The levels and the layers on which thing are happening are so many, that one surely'll miss something vital.This is a reason for not fitting to the mass audience, but i hope that won't happen, because Nolan is one of my favourite directors/writers, and he showed, that the brainless action flicks aren't all of it.There are still movies like Inception out there and still people like the Nolans to make those movies, so it's not all lost.And i hope this movie could show the audience that the story is still important for the experience one could receive, not the endless, constant explosions.Because this is really a one of a lifetime event.

Saying that, i must say, that in a world full of remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels and God knows what, this is a unique chance to see something different and unmatched so far-a strong movie, that, surely will be Nolan's latest masterpiece! My Grade won't change-it's the same for all Nolan movies-sheer 10!

can't believe how much I'm still thinking the day after

So the "innovative" concept of filming out of sequence has been cliche for at least a few years now, but here's a film that makes it work far better than its been shown in a while.

Having read the reviews and talked to others who saw it, I thought that I'd go into the movie figuring everything out right away and declaring the concept unworkable. I couldn't be further from the truth. This movie does things to your head that are illegal in some countries. Portrayed (for all intents and purposes) backwards, it forces you to think in the same way that our lead character, Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce being more brilliant than usual) does. Suffering from a condition that renders him unable to remember anything for more than a few minutes, he is searching for the man who raped and killed his wife. Since each seen lasts no more than 15 minutes before jumping back to the what happened before that, our perceptions are shattered in the same way.

Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano (both of The Matrix) put in great performances that leave you guessing; simultaneously endearing and revolting.

Overall I left the film trying to figure out what was what, and I'm still not sure. This film noir concept shouldn't work, but it does so wonderfully.

Best movie of 2008 hands down!

I had the honor of watching TDK during a screening and was completely blown away! This isn't just the best Batman movie ever made, this is one of the best movie ever made. Everything in this film is excellent, not one piece of annoyance.

Bale marvels as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Ledger has made The Joker in to an iconic movie villain. His performance belongs there at the top with Hopkins Lecter. The Joker has finally been portrait properly on film, he has earned his place between the big boys in movie villandom. This is the true Joker every Batman fan knows, loves and fears. Ledger deserves any and every movie award known to man for this brilliant display.

Nolan has made his "I will always be remembered" movie, this is the crownjewel in his portfolio. Perfect directing, perfect story, perfect balance between action and drama, everything is perfect.

Even if you hate Batman, you will love this film. If you don't, then something beez wrongz with youz!

A Nutshell Review: The Prestige

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Christopher Nolan can do no
wrong.

Teaming up again with his Batman Begins cast of Christian Bale and
Michael Caine, and joined with the Scoop team consisting of X-Men's
Wolverinie Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson, the stellar (eye candy)
cast already set tongues wagging as to whether they'll be able to live
up to the hype of Nolan's long awaited movie directly challenging the
other picture about Victorian magicians, The Illusionist.

The Prestige is the third act of any magic trick, with the first and
second acts being the Pledge and the Turn. And this movie lives up to
its namesake to a T. The way the movie plays out, it's like a huge
magic trick, with the audience waiting to see how it unfolds, getting
the suspicion on how it's done, but yet sitting through it thorough
engaged to discover how everything will be revealed and resolved. It
tells the story of how two magicians, fellow apprentices turned
unfortunate rivals, plod down the slow path of jealous obsession,
revenge, and the deliberate attempts to go at lengths to steal each
other's ideas, to go one up against the other, a fight in romance, life
and the long held passionate drive to discredit each other. There are
perfect explanations of the value of secrets, and how secrets can
sometimes be used as tools for deceit.

What I thought was valuable in the movie was the reinforcement of the
notion of how "magic" actually worked. Besides the better understanding
of the common body of scientific knowledge, things like having pretty
assistants to distract, and having planted staff amongst the audience,
somehow made me a sceptic to tricks and illusions, and try harder to
spot at which stage had things undergone a sleight of hand. More
importantly, it introduced me to the notion and importance of a loyal
engineer behind the scenes who designs elaborate contraptions solely
for the magician's use, and how having disloyal staff can indeed be
detrimental to any leaks of secrets.

And Michael Caine took on this engineering role as Cutter, responsible
for assisting Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman) with loyalty and conviction
that they could, as a team, beat Christian Bale's Alfred Borden. I
thought the cast in general were superb, with Christian Bale leading
the charge. Hugh Jackman too showed that he could play a dark
character, as the two leads tackled their characters' theme of
sacrifice, arrogance, and ultimately redemption, especially for Rupert
Angier. I thought he did what he did towards the end was a kind of
penance to what happened in the beginning, hoping to kill two birds
with a single stone, to exact the sweetest revenge he could possibly
muster. What also was intriguing about the two lead characters was that
there is no right or wrong, no hero or villain. It's always a shade of
grey in what they do, and for Alfred Borden, I felt it's more for
survival and the provision for family, which is a strong subplot
running through the film. I just have to mention though, that Scarlett
Johansson being Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive, gets to play a flower
vase role here as a magician's assistant, though her role as the pawn
between the rivals added a little gravitas.

The atmosphere was set up great, and so were the costumes and sets. The
soundtrack was hauntingly mesmerizing, capturing the look and mood
appropriately. Look out too for David Bowie's appearance as a Serbian
scientist!

I was floored by the deftness of how Nolan weaved and juxtaposed the
non linear narrative so flawlessly. While the usual techniques is to
use placeholders, or flashback sequences, colours etc, here, time is so
fluid, but yet the audience will know precisely which era they're in,
without being explicitly told, or working too much of the noodle. You
just know, and it's just that feeling of being totally transparent with
time. Even though the movie clocked in at slightly more than 2 hours,
you don't feel its length at all.

At the end of the movie, one quote popped into mind: Misdirection -
what the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes. Quite apt to
describe how things work out during the movie, or to describe in
general, Nolan 's films so far. That added richness to lift the movie
to a superior plane. Do yourself a favour, if there's one movie you
absolutely must watch this week, then Prestige must be your natural
choice. It's smart in delivery and slick in presentation. There is none
other.

P.S. Is it just me, or are notebooks a common feature in Nolan's
movies?

Best Film of 2012, so far!

I had the honor of watching TDKR during a screening and was completely blown away! Christopher Nolan's third film in his Batman trilogy doesn't disappoint. The movie is incredibly well made, its huge production is quite breathtaking to view. This is a true cinematic experience, to behold. The movie exceeded my expectations in terms of action, and entertainment. The movie's score high-lites many of its incredible scenes, and at times, it takes your breath away.

The film featured excellent performances, by all the cast. Christian Bale, as always is great as Batman. Anne Hathaway was completely engrossing, she became "Catwoman", just like Michele Pfeiffer did, although their interpretations were very different, both were equally effective. Tom Hardy was the main villain "Bane" completely shattered my expectations. One of the best superhero movie villains, I've ever seen. The terror caused by him, is completely believable and quite menacing. Marlion Cotilliard, Michael Cane, Gary Oldman, and others all did well in their respective roles. Now I know most will miss Heath Ledger as the Joker.(I know I do) I hope people don't compare Tom Hardy's performance to Heath Ledger's, its completely unfair and the two characters are very different. Just read the comics.

The colossal size of the film is a spectacle to behold, but surprisingly you don't get lost with all the explosions and extravagant action scenes, like in other films,(AKA Transformers, or POTC.) If one were to gripe, and I suppose there will never be a film made that one cannot find a point at which to grip, it is painfully long running time here. I found myself more worried about the pain in my posterior than the emotional final minutes after almost 3 hours that I had spent in a cramped seat, but that's just how I am. However the ending is just fantastic, so emotional and bring the trilogy to a very satisfying end.

Sorry if I'm being all fan-boyish and kissing this movie's behind, but I really admire it. It may not be among my personal favorites but generally this seems to be the movie event of this year. As a film though, this is amazing. A true lasting legacy in superhero story telling and summer-blockbusters.

The Batman film I've been waiting for...

Finally, after the previous 2 outings of the caped crusader, the Batman franchise is back on track. Having been a big comic collector over the years and a long time fan of the Dark Knight, I was especially disappointed by 'Forever' and 'Batman and Robin'. To me, these film lost the essence of what drives Bruce Wayne to do what he does and turned Batman into more of a pop star than misunderstood hero.

Thankfully though, Nolan has gone back to the roots of the character, portraying a confused and angry Bruce Wayne, who ultimately rises to become Gotham's greatest champion. Don't expect to see loads of shots of Batman in this film though. It is the story of Wayne and focuses mainly on his years of training and preparation for becoming Batman. You are almost teased throughout the first half of the movie, waiting to see the excellent Christian Bale in the costume, as it keeps holding back to keep you in anticipation. When Batman does finally turn up on screen, it is well worth the wait. In my opinion, Bale was born for this role and for the first time when watching a Batman film, I enjoyed the scenes of Wayne being Wayne as much as Wayne being Batman.

One of the strongest features of the film, is the way that it manges to suck you in believe that a 'Batman' could be a reality one day. The technology is current, with no use of silly OTT weapons and gadgets, again making the film work by today's standards. Plus, we are not allowed to forget that Batman is still just a man under the costume and there are times when he gets a bit of a kicking and shows that he can be vulnerable too, something we sometimes forget when watching a superhero flick. Gone too, are the silly villains!!! Jack Nicholson was the perfect Joker but from there it went downhill. Thankfully, in this movie the bad guys are actually fairly 'normal' and manage to be menacing at the same time.

Which finally brings me to the cast. I always had high expectations for this film when the cast was announced. Let's face it, what a line up! Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Katy Holmes, Ken Watanabe and Tom Wilkinson are not to be sniffed at. Even an old favourite of mine makes an appearance: Rutger Hauer! Awesome. Actors of this calibre would never have gotten involved in this project if they didn't have faith in Christoper Nolan's talents and thankfully they took the leap...

For the comic book fans out there, waiting to see this movie, let me assure you that you won't be upset. Imagine the darkness of the 'A Death In The Family' and the 'Year One' story lines. I have never met a fan of Batman who didn't love these books. Well, this is the kind of Batman you can expect from Bale: Dark, brooding and tortured by his past, yet the hero we have come to love. For those of you who are not comic fans, then just look forward to seeing how Batman should be. This film is a credit to Bob Kane's original vision and a testament to all the talented artists and writers who keep the legend of the Dark Knight alive in the comic books today....

Thank you Mr. Nolan and thank you Mr. Bale. In fact thanks to everyone who worked on this film. Batman finally Begins from here....
