Inception

                 So, update on my quest to actually know what I'm talking about when I make posts about the Oscars. So far I have seen seven of the ten films nominated for best picture. All that remains are True Grit, The Kid's are All Right, and...sigh... The King's Speech. I only haven't seen True Grit yet because I'm planning to see it with friends on Monday or Tuesday. The King's Speech is a film I've been avoiding for all the reasons I've detailed in various other posts, and I just watched the trailer for The Kids Are All Right and it looks like the kind of movie I have less than no interest in watching. However in the interest of being fair I will go and watch every movie nominated for best picture, as well as the films that have actors and actresses nominated for those relevant awards. So let's get this show on the road. This review is for one of my favorite movies this year, Christopher Nolan's Inception.

It's Oscar Season.

So far I have seen four of the ten Best Picture nominees. All four were excellent films and certainly deserve to be honoured in the best picture category. As you may or may not know there are three main flavours of best picture nominee. Front runners, spoilers, and it's an honour to be nominated. Our front-runners this year are the documentary known as How to Make a Best Picture Winner a.k.a. The King's Speech and the young upstart The Social Network which is about this new fangled internet thing that most of the members of the academy don't understand. As you may have gathered I'm slightly bitter about this whole thing.
