OK, I am officially tired of Inception. Saw it, liked it, over it. Yes, I enjoy a “smart” movie, but I think this movie has created a universe where one is bullied into seeing this as to avoid being ostracized by the enamored public. Schmucks was miserable, IMO. Salt rocked, give credit on this one to Jolie as was mesmerizing. Looks like lots of crap on the horizon. |
