Love the title right? Just like the advertisements! This post just serves as a reminder to all those movie lovers and an expression of jubilation on my part that this Summer’s biggest blockbuster hits store shelves today. Can I get an Amen? Perfect distraction from school work and the stresses of life to fall back into the dream created by the master himself, Christopher Nolan. I hope you make it out to grab Inception, and borrow it to those who have not seen it. If you have seen Inception, hit the jump for an intriguing fan-made video of the different dream worlds within the film.

Did you feel that? It kind of felt like the ground shook a little. It couldn’t be an earthquake though, becuase I’m in Minneapolis. Oh, I know what it is, it’s a worldwide collective nerdgasm, the likes of which could cause a devastating apocalyptic natural disaster ala The Day After Tomorrow. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

To this point there have been countless re-releases of the Star Wars films, featuring various added scenes, digital re-mastery, etc. But this will be the first time fans will be able to watch the legendary film series in beautiful, crisp, high-definition.

Netflix This: The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

In light of all the movies I have been watching recently, I thought it would be a grand idea to discuss some of the better movies I have seen with our new segment Netflix This. Some are soon to be released or just out on DVD, others have been around for awhile. Without further delay, I’ll dive right in. It causes me shame to admit I just saw this movie for the first time.

It is a WWII period piece (which always stimulates my interest) concerning a Nazi officer who moves his family to the countryside so he can oversee the extermination of the Jews in a concentration camp.
