Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
This is the most fun I’ve had at the movies this year. Heartwarming in a uniquely vicious way, and a style that feels genuinely new and upbeat. It’s just one great idea after another, all wrapped around a great message.

Inception
Inception is a 5-star, expertly crafted, and fantastically beautiful masterpiece of a heist movie containing layers and layers of intrigue and meaning. Sadly, it is wrapped in the kind of pop-philosophy common in smoke filled college dorms.
It felt as though the meta-story was added only to raise unanswered questions. But, as the movie takes pains to point out, Inception isn’t just about raising the questions - it’s about ensuring the right answers. Perhaps additional viewings will reveal that the answer is indeed there. If so, I may change my rating. But as it stands, the questions just seem to cheapen the whole thing.
Too bad, really. Because it’s still a hell of a heist movie.

I love when the inherent music of life shows through. I also love the muppets. Also, this is one of the best arguments against cell phones I’ve ever seen.

Time Perspectives. Fascinating, and feels accurate.

This requires sound, and is worth the bother.

“ Those three things—autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward—are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying. It is not how much money we make that ultimately makes us happy between nine and five. It’s whether our work fulfills us.

Kick Ass
If you think you can stomach an 11 year old girl spewing the most profane lines in the movie while gleefully and brutally murdering just about everyone, see this movie. It’s amazingly well constructed, and uses structure and tone to build possibly the most interesting and non-preachy commentary on media violence and the difference between “fantasy” and “reality” I’ve ever seen.
When my jaw wasn’t hanging open in horror, it was a hell of a lot of fun. Especially the ridiculously satisfying last act. I’ll definitely be seeing it again.
