“Inception” was intentionally marketed in such a way that viewers, upon seeing the trailer, would have little idea about the plot of the movie. One thing is clear: This film is unique, monumental and, quite possibly, complex.

Thanks to the generosity of a good friend, I got the chance to see an advanced screening of Martin Scorsese’s latest expression of his obsession with Leonardo DiCaprio, “Shutter Island”. While I would not say that I hated the movie – it certainly has quite a bit going for it – something about it just did not seem right to me. It probably did not help that the only seats available in the packed theater were in the front row, so what I remember most about the experience is having to strain my neck and eyes to see DiCaprio’s giant scowl for a little over two hours straight.
