I read in today's paper about an 'amazing race'-like contest going down the first Saturday of August. it's called "Stalk Lake City" (i give them props for the ingenious name). basically, a bunch of teams run around downtown for clues in order to win $1,000 for the charity of their choice. (for more info about this cool little thing going down, visit the website: stalklake5k.blogspot.com) As soon as i read the insert, i was soo stoked to do it. Last year my sister and i were the reining champs at the library's version of "the Amazing Race." Which was the the most fun I'd had that summer. (that probably being only because i won...) Therefore, i would just like to warn the other teams now, i hope you all don't mind the taste of dirt, because YOU ALL ARE GOING TO EAT MY DUST!
*ahem* anyways... i went to the movies yesterday with my family and saw the film, Inception. so you know what that means! it's time for Maddi's Definite Review!
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joesph Gordon Levitt, and Ellen Page.
I saw this movie yesterday, and yet i still cannot wrap my head around it. I cannot begin to try to explain the movie's intertwining complexities without possibly breaking something. This movie made all of the Matrix movies seem like children's stories. scared yet?
Basically, the concept of the whole movie is about a group of people who can go inside of people's dreams and manipulate them. they can change the persons 'dream-scape' and try to learn information. they can also plant an idea into the person's subconscious. but alas, that last part is the most difficult to achieve, or so they say. in the movie they make it look so easy. Leonardo's character has had a difficult past, which rears it's ugly head at inconvenient times to foil the plot. the rest you will just have to figure out for yourself.
I gave this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars because, although this was an enthralling saga, it was a bit too long. there were times towards the end of the film where it was almost painful to watch. at some point i just wanted it to end already!
A big kudos to all of the characters, they played their roles wonderfully and interacted well. hell, there were even some humorous parts in this serious thriller. And seriously, i just adore Joseph Gordon Levitt in everything he does. They made the story at hand believable, even if the idea for the movie was not.
I suggest you take caution when you see this movie; it is not for the young ones, or your exceptionally dumb friends. this movie will make you thin and has layers upon layers upon layers of intricate intertwining confusion. Some will see this movie and just go,"Huh?" Trust me, it took awhile to figure it out. and I'm not sure if i even did.
