Weekend Movie Picks: 'Inception', 'Nicolas Cage: Wizard Mentor', and More
Why sit at home drinking alone when you can drink in the dark surrounded by others, getting drunk on some whiskey you surreptitiously drained into a fountain Pepsi? Here are some new films you could see that would allow just such a fantasy excursion:
Inception
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page
Good if you want to see: just what this thing is about, because if you don't see it this weekend, some asshole (me) is going to tell you. I hear it's a good'n.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina
Good if you want to see: She's Out of My League and Nicolas Cage in his little outfit and hair doing magic, some of which involves sports cars--just as Goethe intended.
Valhalla Rising
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn
Starring: Mads Mikkelsen, Maarten Stevenson, Stewart Porter
Good if you want to see: the villain from Casino Royale as a one-eyed warrior killing so many guys.
Standing Ovation
Director: Stewart Raffill
Starring: Al Sapienza, Jeana Zettler
Good if you want to see: some kind of awful movie about girls in a music video competition that looks like what I imagine it feels like to be injected with pure Disney Channel.
