Quick Movie Review: Inception

Finally, I saw the much raved "Inception". By now everyone has seen it, and after getting a few, "You haven't seen Inception? What's wrong with you?", mamma mia came across it at the library, and we both sat down and watched it.

I won't bother with what it's about, since (a) you've probably already seen it, and (b) I have no idea what it is about.

Okay, I kind of do, but I'm too lazy to type it out.

First of all, good casting. My favorite out of everyone is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I hope I can see him in the upcoming "50/50". So no complaints about any of the actors.

I did get annoyed with Leo's character at times. I know he went through a traumatic experience and all, but I wanted him to just push his issues aside for five minutes and get the job done without making his problem everyone else's problem. And, as expected, the story could at times be confusing, as intended by the filmmakers, but I managed to understand what was happening most of the time.

Overall, I enjoyed "Inception", but I wasn't overly impressed or blown away. I think it was overhyped, which is nothing new when it comes to popular movies.

My grade: B+

Movie Review: Serial Mom

*may be spoilers* I feel as if I should have seen this before, but it somehow managed to escape my notice. But hey, I found it! Great premise, too: Kathleen Turner as a picture-perfect wife and mother, living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. She's also insane and likes to kill people over the smallest matters. She has a talent for murder, but not, sadly, for covering her tracks. The thought of wearing gloves or wiping fingerprints doesn't even cross her mind. The first half of this is the strongest. After she gets arrested, it loses some of its humor and charm, though it doesn't completely fall flat. Good ending, as well. Ricki Lake plays her daughter, Misty. It's easy to forget about her acting days, especially when you haven't seen her in anything...like me. I liked her in this, and may I say that it was refreshing to have a chubby young actress instead of a typical, thin, dime-a-dozen actress? Overall, not a bad comedy, but not a masterpiece.

Inspector Lewis: Wild Justice

You know, I was excited last night. Why? Because, after weeks of no Inspector Lewis, they were finally airing two new episodes back to back! Yay! PBS has been a bit backed up, what with all of their pledge programming and favorites. There are four new episodes in total, and two, I believe, were supposed to air in September. Only one did. Naturally, I was looking forward to the 9-midnight Lewis-athon. And you know what ticked me off? They didn't play two new episodes back to back. They repeated the first one and then played a new one. So I had to wait until 10:30 to get my fix. Because of course everyone wants to re-watch the first one, right? Wrong! Mamma not happy! But we did get one new episode, so I'll be content with that. They should be playing the other two next week, since a new series is supposed to start soon. This one is called "Wild Justice". Lewis and Hathaway are investigating the death of a female Bishop. She flew across the pond from the USA for
