Inception: Revisiting the dream after two years

Inception is a masterpiece, that much is and always be certain. Carefully crafted by the guiding hand that brought us Memento, The Prestige, and the Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan brought a unique film that explored the concept of dream and reality while injecting it with a tale that makes it one of the most memorable movie experiences of all time. With the director's latest offering "The Dark Knight Rises" just around the corner this week, it's literally been two years since his previous film's release on just about the same time frame. 


Inception Trailer 2

I look back at the significance of Inception because it still carries a following to this day. Exploring the corners and recesses of the film in a wonderfully woven tale of heist and espionage, the film showcases a tremendous amount of talent and casting lead by Leonardo DiCaprio. The acting is top notch, and there's plenty of excitement along with compelling narrative that's not hard to grasp at all despite the sci-fi concept. Nolan makes it simple enough to understand, and it works to his strengths and the audience's pleasure. 

It's also because of Inception that we're going to be seeing stars like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, and Marion Cotillard back and taking on other significant roles in The Dark Knight Rises. I cannot stress how much you need to revisit this film if you're a fan, or if you haven't seen it yet... You Should.

Contagion unleashes a terrifying trailer!

Warner Bros. has a lot of good films rolling out this fall, and one of them happens to be a movie that touches on a subject that is as real as it is scary. This September, Warner Bros. unleashes "Contagion", an action-thriller that focuses on the outbreak of a deadly virus and the threat it presents worldwide, with humanity responding to it

Directed by the man who gave us Erin Brockovich and the Ocean's trilogy of movies, Steven Soderbergh leads an all-star cast in the forms of Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard, and Gwyneth Paltrow, and the delivery in the trailer by the stars alone lands quite a punch for those into suspense films with realistic tension in the air. Check out below via the embedded player.

Much like any virus-themed movie (Outbreak, 28 Days Later), this one looks like it'll keep everyone on edge on what's going to happen next. Heck, the movie's not even out yet, and one major star is already killed off in this trailer! Can't wait for this one, so stay tuned for this after all the summer blockbusters have come and gone.

The Dark Knight Rises Update:Press release confirms JGL and Marion Cotillard's roles!

After months of speculation, second guesses, and wild assumptions of whether or not Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard were going to appear in Christopher Nolan's next Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises", Warner Bros. has finally released an official press, which was also posted in movie news blog sites like Slash Film, that confirms both Inception stars' appearance in the film, once again working together with Nolan as he starts work on the next saga that chronicles Bruce Wayne's one man war against crime.

However, the press release also debunks longstanding rumors that JGL was going to play Alberto Falcone and Marion Cotillard was Talia Al Ghul. Instead, Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City Beat Cop assigned to special duty under the command of Police Commissioner James Gordon (played by Gary Oldman), while Cotillard plays Miranda Tate, a board member of Wayne Enterprises who is eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne (played by Christian Bale) resume his father's philanthropic activities for Gotham City. Filming for the new sequel is expected to begin next month, so adding these two together with fellow Inception star Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, and the rest of the returning Batman cast, and you've got one heck of a Bat-sequel to look forward to.

The Dark Knight Rises will be released on theaters on July 20, 2012!
