Oh, kid, I do believe that our dreams are wrong

Inception (2010) is an incredibly intelligent film. I loved its play with genres, with film and surrealism, with ghosts, and I loved the one sequence straight out of Cocteau's Orphée (1949).

I am never seeing another film at a Jordan's IMAX.

Nolan is to film what Gene Wolfe is to the sf novel -- just ferocious intelligence and the mastery of puzzlebox constructions that have philosophical and emotional depth.

It's interesting to see strong chunks of DNA from Memento, The Prestige, and the two Batman movies in this one.
