Inception: A Dream within a Dream

Inception is an epic movie, that we suggust that everyone should see. It's innovative, smart, thrilling and it's something that's never been done. It's a movie that includes amazing performances (especially by the one and only Leonardo Dicaprio), story, music and effects; what more can you ask for. We can't give away too much information because that would ruin the experience for you, it's simply a must see. So if you haven't seen it, go to your local movie theatre and check it out. If you have seen it please share your opinion with us, we would love to read it.

The Master of Suspense

After seeing "Shutter Island" TBC felt that the film was a directorial nod to the once great Alfred Hitchcock. The acknowledged master of the thriller genre, who brilliantly blended sex, humor, and suspense. One of his many sayings, that seems to have inspired the film "Shutter Island" in our opinion was "Always make the audience suffer as much as possible." If you've never seen any of his films, we suggest that you check out "Vertigo" and "Spellbound" with the amazing James Stewart and Gregory Peck.

Shutter Island

Leondardo DiCaprio plays a U.S. marshall who takes on the case of locating a missing patient at Shutter Island. With the help of his partner (Mark Ruffalo), he finds that more  questions arise than answers. While attempting to make sense out of it all, he has to deal with haunting memories of his past.You'll find a lot of twists, turns, and shocking moments  in "Shutter Island" that  leave you on the edge of your seat. Overall, TBC thought it was a "mind trip", we walked out a little confused and entertained (the latter weighs more than the former). We suggest seeing it if you're really into mystery and suspense. In the mean time we're going to find the book it was adapted from because we have a few questions of our own.

The Wolfman

Yesterday, TBC met with the Guts and Guile creator and decided to catch up on Benicio Del Toro's latest film The Wolfman: 

Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), who is  jokingly referred to as the Prodigal Son, returns to his English home after his brother has been savagely murdered. While there, he vows to stay until he finds who or what is at fault.  In the midst of of finding the truth in a Gypsy camp he's attacked. And while healing in his father's (Anthony Hopkins) home, he is faced with the stark past of his mother's death, an insane asylum, and his feelings toward his father. From there the movie takes a few twists and turns that aren't expected. 

While she thought the film was unimpressive, I was was actually engaged. Where she found faults in the Werewolf costume, I was intrigued and while I jumped she laughed. Maybe this is because, the closet thing I've seen to a Werewolf film is Michael Jackson's Thriller, and the smallest things give me cause to cover my eyes. Either way... It seems if you don't have too much experience with the monster that's created with the arrival of a full moon this movie is a good starter. But, if you've seen your share of scary movies stay away from The Wolfman, you'll probably be entertained but, for all of the wrong reasons. 

En La Nude

Male Models, Nudity and Marvin Gaye...

The new Yves Saint Laurent short Film "Ain't Nothin Like the Real Thing" by Bruce Webber celebrates nudity in a sexy fashion.

We aren't sure what the point of this film is because we're still a little shocked by Simon Nessman's beauty.
