    Really enjoyed this one. A bit predictable and cliche at moments, but mostly very original and entertaining.

    Inception

    ★★★★½

    Insanely good and incredibly intense. The acting from everyone was top-tier. The plot is so complex and mind blowing. Christopher Nolan’s directing was phenomenal. The various shots, set pieces, and technical work were on a different level. The music from Hans Zimmer was amazing as always, and it fit in with everything perfectly. The story and themes were surprisingly deep and emotional for a movie primarily set in a dream. The layers kept unfolding and the plot kept twisting in…

    ★★★★

    A modern take on the classic murder mystery. Fresh, well-paced, funny, and has great acting, twists, and turns. I forgot how good this one is.
