INCEPTION: DIDN'T IT BLOW MY MIND

Well my Cinefunksters, much like General Douglas Mccarthur, "I have returned," and as they say, this time it's ''personal.''

Let's face it: this summer has in a word: suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked! Oh, sure there were a few bits of gold amid the dross. I have to admit I did enjoy, IRON MAN 2, and GET 'EM TO THE GREEK, and NIGHT AND DAY (yeah, I said it), and I loved THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO and THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE - memo to FINCHER, don't bother, you'll never find a SALANDER as wonderful and delicious as NOOMI RAPACE - and most of THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT (but that ending, oh, that ending).

So, what brought me back: I can tell you that in one word: INCEPTION.

CHORUS: INCEPTION! INCEPTION! INCEPTION! INCEPTION!

But, I digest. This of course is the hotly anticipated blockbuster by cinematic wunderkind, CHRISTOPHER NOLAN, he of THE DARK KNIGHT AND MEMENTO fame. This movie which was written and directed by Mr. NOLAN, is quite simply a mind-blower.

There is no way to really give a synopsis of the plot and do it justice. The film has to do with entering the dreams of others and what happens next. What I can say is that the imagery is stunning and the movie was shot on some of the most breath-taking sites of the world (including our own Alberta).

The cast is uniformly fine, lead by LEONARDO DI CAPRIO, ably assisted by KEN WATANABE, JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT, MARION COTILLARD, MICHAEL CAINE, and Canada's own ELLEN N PAGE.

This film is simply a must-see (I myself plan to see it to see it several more times), if you can do see it in IMAX, as I did, It will blow your mind.

Until next time Mon petite chien...
