Rainbows End (2010)
Quirky Endearing Cinema
Rainbows End is the story of a band of native East Texas misfits. Literally a BAND. Country Willie and the Cosmic Debris. They head west to record with The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Along the way, the unexpected plot unfolds.
The arc of this film is surprising and endearing. The cinematography by Phillip Roy is insightful. He has done some beautiful work and captured an unbelievable story. I'm sure the end result was not what they all set out to film, however, you never know when lightning will strike.
This film has all the elements I love in a project. Humor, drama, tragedy and wisdom. My favorite line from Peter the Band is "The air you are breathing is invisible."
In it's simplicity is it's genius.
This film should surprise anyone who dares to enlighten themselves by Rainbows End.
Inception (2010)
Smartest Film of The Year!
Inception is the Smartest film of the Year
INCEPTION (PG-13) Directed by Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) Inception is the smartest film you will see all year. It never plays down to the audience, in fact, it assumes the audience is intelligent. Inception tells the story of Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) as a thief with the rare ability to enter people's dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill has made him a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone's mind. If he succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb's every move.
This movie is challenging, but always in a fun and inventive way that keeps you captivated. It is an updated 40's crime drama with a technological twist that just works.
After the fight scene in the hallway, you will agree with me that Christopher Nolan will no doubt take home a few Oscars this year. Sound Design, Cinematography, best Original Screenplay, Director and Film unless something monumental is released between now and then.
One scene alone should get Nolan the Oscar, and that being the city folding back on itself.
Most films this year are like sitting down to a bowl of potato chips, Inception is like sitting down to the juiciest thickest most filling steak dinner you've had in years. Inception opens Friday July 16 5 out of 5 Stars Jay Fox
