It was marketed poorly. I enjoyed it, but it's not really what the trailers portrayed. Also, the protagonist is kind of a scumbag.

I've been fighting a nagging cold, so my life has been a lot of movies the past 48 hours: Mildred Pierce, Pickpocket, The Agony and the Ecstasy, True Confessions.
All are great movies, particularly for the great acting performances found within. The exception being Pickpocket, a 1959 French movie by Robert Bresson, which isn't worth watching unless you're steeped into French New Wave history. It's a small film down the line of the Crime and Punishment story. The message is blurry and the payoff isn't worth it. Plus, as a minor gripe, a lot of the pickpocketing scenes appear far-fetched. If you're looking for a movie of "low-Paris-on-the-streets-1950s" though, I can't recommend it enough. How fun is Charlton Heston as the passionate Michelangelo? And Joan Crawford as the tireless mother of a greedy, thankless bitch? Both actors drive their movies to greatness. In a more understated manor, the acting of Robert DeNiro and Robert Duvall blend to a great concoction in a movie about corruption of society's powerful. |

I'd have a hard time believing it wasn't intended to be a comedy.

I see Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy and want to think it has to be, then those awful trailers make me wonder how it possibly could be. Intriguing.

I'd imagine it's the kind of movie that could be funny in a theater, because people are laughing and in a good mood, but not so much on DVD.

Finally got around to seeing inception after I found it on sale for 1.99.
I really liked it. I've had to read some synopsis' to understand everything but its probably my favorite Nolan film outside of the prestige.

Celebration Day is very good. Zep sounds amazingly clean and Jason does a great job with the sticks. Almost 6 years already? Come to the US guys!
