We haven’t had any Inception news in the past several weeks worthy of mentioning. I then stumbled on this fantastic video from MovieMoron.com’s The Movie Preview Critic (via NolanFans) that seriously breaks down and analyzes both the Inception trailer, and the film’s potential importance on the future of cinema. I was not aware of The MPC until I found this, and boy am I glad I did. If you have some time and you enjoy this video, check the slate of preview reviews on the Movie Preview Critic website. The dude really knows his stuff and all the videos are very entertaining, informative and thought-provoking. As most of you well know, I’ve been talking about the potential and importance of Inception for a long time now, and The MPC articulates it’s possible ground-breaking ideas and effect of movie studio executives perfectly.

From Paris With Love (C+)
I would like to start by thanking Andrew, a promoter for Lionsgate Entertainment, for giving me the opportunity to see a promotional screening last Thursday at the Mall of America. The Lionsgate staff showed hospitality and enthusiasm to pump up the audience with their promotional drawings and generated buzz for the upcoming showing. It was a rewarding experience to see the movie a week early and get a chance to be around the Lionsgate promotion crew.

I think, that I’m ecstatic by this. I mean, American Psycho is tied with The Dark Knight as my favorite movie of all time. I’m looking at a framed poster of the film, featuring Patrick Bateman holding a butcher knife, hanging above my TV as I type. It is probably THE most-quoted and referred to film between my circle of friends. It’s such a unique, twisted, funny and thrilling psychological mind-F, featuring a powerhouse, career-making performance by Mr. Christian Bale. So, when Variety reports that Broadway producers are taking the necessary steps to put together a musical version of this masterpiece novel-turned film, I don’t know how to react.

This past June movie fans were exposed to the upcoming creation from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Surprisingly enough, The Last Airbender did not come across as a failure like his last three projects have conditioned us to believe. Thankfully, the concept for the film is not an original idea from him, which comes as a change from the 30-year-old director’s norm. With Shyamalan not imagining his own ending, movie goers can be hopeful that the conclusion to this movie won’t induce strong feelings of violence against the creator of such atrocities as Lady in the Water and The Happening.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed the nominees this morning live from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Anne Hathaway, who was nominated for Best Actress last year, and AMPAS President Tom Sherak presented the nominations. This is going to be very different than any other due to the decision by the Academy to expand the Best Picture category from five to 10 nominees. I talked about the Best Picture issue in great detail when the expansion was announced this past summer.

Ask anybody who has seen Band of Brothers and they will tell you the HBO mini-series is one of the greatest World War II stories ever told. The story is a true tale based on the brave paratroopers of Easy Company, some of the best soldiers the United States had to offer in WWII. The company dropped in behind enemy lines the night before D-Day with the mission to destroy Nazi fortifications and more specifically the artillery guns aimed at the Normandy beaches.

Think Smokin’ Aces meets the Oceans movies. That’s the feeling I got after watching the first official trailer for The Losers (it even has the same music). The film is the latest adaptation via Warner Bros.’ arsenal of DC comic-book properties. The original Losers comic-book series debuted in the early 70’s and was set during WWII. From 2003-2006 a modernized version of the comic was released from DC which is what this film is based on. A few weeks ago we posted the first trailer for the A-Team movie, which seems to have very similar plot points, but The Losers looks much cooler and more badass.

What a year Sam Worthington is having. First he got to star along Christian Bale as the new Terminator in the highly over-criticized Terminator Salvation last May. Then, of course, he got the lead role in that little indie, low-budget film Avatar; which just became the highest-grossing film off all time. He’s also the lead in another upcoming inevitable blockbuster, Clash of the Titans (which is currently being converted for 3-D). That kind of success in eight months would be enough to run anyone ragged, but Sam isn’t slowing down one bit. THR’s Heat Vision blog has now confirmed that Worthington is going challenge himself unlike anything he’s done yet. That’s right, Dracula.

We reported way back in April on the announcement and casting of Oliver Stone’s Wall Street sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. USA Today has now released the first hi-res still images of the film, which is currently in post-production. The sequel takes place 20 years after the original with Michael Douglas returning to his iconic role as the then villainous Gordon Gekko, who famously coined the phrase, “Greed is good.” Stone, who wrote and directed the original, passed on the script for WS2 several times, but inevitably changed his mind after the economic collapse of 2008. “I guess the crash, which happened in the meantime, made it more interesting,” Stone said.
