“Inception”

“INCEPTION” HUNK TOM HARDY IS THE NEW “MAD MAX”

As we were walking out of the movie “Inception,” despite our state of mental confusion and ringing ears, we DO recall women all around us asking “Who was that hot guy who played “Eames?” That guy who jumped off the screen into our daydreams was English actor Tom Hardy. (Perhaps the best thing about “Inception.”) And GUESS WHO was cast as the next Mad Max! Mel Gibson is OUT and Tom Hardy is IN. The new Mad Max script aroused the interest of many leading men in Hollywood, including Jeremy Renner. (Back in the 80’s, Mad Max had a huge fashion influence and nightclubs were full of the post-apocalyptic look) Twenty-five years later, Mad Max 4 and Mad Max 5 will be filmed back to back starring Hardy, along with Charlize Theron and Zoe Kravitz.

DOES ANYBODY REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT “INCEPTION” IS ABOUT?

We just walked out of “Inception” (Above, Marion Cotillard and Leonardo DiCaprio at the premier) and our brains are reeling from the profoundly loud and important sounding music as well as the over the top action and explosion scenes. We were hoping for some SCIENCE FICTION, but the plot is so far beyond believable that one must surrender all logic and follow the characters through multiple mind blowing but pointless adventures – all the way up to the awkward ending. There is no science in the movie and the fiction is so complicated that many viewers will undoubtedly refuse to admit they have no idea what’s going on. “Inception” is gorgeous to look at, and that might be enough for action fans in the audience. Opinions of this blockbuster are bound to be widely varying.
