Posted by: | Comments
It’s no secret, that here at the The Movie Mash, we are big fans of Christopher Nolan. Barrett and Mike each have The Dark Knight, The Prestige, and Inception among their top ten movies of all-time — I have Batman Begins amongst my ten favorites. Nolan is a cinematic genius, and has yet to fail as a blockbuster filmmaker. Many montages have been made showcasing the director’s work, but I think this latest rendition is definitely one of the best. Hit the jump to watch it.
Parodies of Christopher Nolan’s Best Work
Posted by: | Comments
I stumbled across these funny videos that are inspired by Hollywood’s most disrespected filmmaker, Christopher Nolan. Of course, anyone paying attention to last night’s Oscars saw Nolan lost Best Screenplay for his imagined masterpiece Inception. He was dissed months earlier by not even being nominated for Best Director. But, we all know he is the man and doesn’t need some gold statue and the adoration from a panel of aging critics to be a success. As they always say, “Imitation is the best form of flattery.” The three videos posted after the jump prove Nolan makes films people want to parody, mimic, and digest.

I’ve had a stupid grin on my face all day. Did I just get back from a date with Evangeline Lilly? No. Did I win a free iPad? Nope. Did some concrete casting news surrounding possibly one of the most-anticipated movies ever finally break? Yup. Deadline has the exclusive scoop (via Nolan Fans) that Inception‘s Tom Hardy has been tapped by Christopher Nolan to appear in his sequel to The Dark Knight, currently labeled Batman 3.

Not a bad standard to strive for. Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof is busy at work writing the script for the still untitled sequel to 2009′s smash success Star Trek reboot. Lindelof joined the dynamic writing duo of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to help his Lost buddy/Star Trek director J.J. Abrams create the best, most imaginative sequel possible. And they already have a goal set in terms of the scope and story progression for their sequel, as they hope to emulate the success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Christopher Nolan says Inception is “bigger than The Dark Knight”

After the eye-popping second teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception hit theaters in front of Sherlock Holmes on Christmas day and then the web on December 28th, I thought I’d have to wait another couple months before hearing any news about the film. Bloggers and fans have been going crazy over the last two weeks speculating and providing theories on what they think Inception will/could be about. That type of mystery hanging over an upcoming blockbuster can drive a movie geek insane. Now, the man behind it all, finally speaks.
IMDB’s Top 25 Movies of the Decade
Posted by: | Comments
As the New Year approaches and the decade comes to a close, many websites, blogs and news outlets are compiling countdown lists for various things, recapping the past 10 years. Peter Sicretta from SlashFilm.com, has been busy compiling several different countdown lists re-capping the top movies of the decade, based on several different sources of data. The first list that Peter compiled was of the “best reviewed” films of the decade, via the data provided by metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. Yesterday Peter shared another countdown list that he compiled, this time via the data found on IMDB.
There is no script (that we know of), there has been no announcement by Warner Bros., and yet the rumors surrounding the inevitable third installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise continue to persist. A big reason for this is most definitely because the amazing teaser trailer for Inception that was released a few days ago. Everybody wants a piece of Chris Nolan. First I’ll get the ridiculous out of the way. Megan Fox is NOT going to be cast as Catwoman in Batman 3, despite recent reports confirming that the actress has already been signed to play antagonist Selina Kyle. I honestly don’t know how the London-based gossip rag, The Sun, even cooks up this stuff. Remember a few months back when they claimed that Eddie Murphy had be cast as The Riddler? Yeah, I know.
