Quickie Movie Reviews - Inception, Salt, Law Abiding Citizen

Saw this more than a week ago. It was good. But not as good as what everyone else says it is. Truth be told, the multilayered dreamscape stuff hasn't been done so well on film before but seriously, this is old-skool comicbook stuff to people who read X-Men, Crisis On Infinite Earths, Exiles, Fantastic Four, etc. It's always good to see Ellen Page (Juno) though... :)

Saw this during my lunch break just now. Long story short: this is the *real* BLACK WIDOW movie. Angelina Jolie is the perfect Russian spy. Wonder whose stupid idea it was to think that Scarlett Johansson could pull off the Black Widow role in the first place when Jolie is still alive and kicking! Can't wait to see the sequel.

Kurt Wimmer wrote "Salt" in 2010 and "Law Abiding Citizen" in 2009. This is one dangerous mutha-$%*@, my friends! I saw "Law Abiding Citizen" on DVD with my wife late last night and we were totally blown away by this anarchic, break-the-system film. Gerald Butler teaches Jamie Foxx about the true meaning of justice beyond the bureaucratic "justice" system. Every law student should watch this film before going into practice and losing their sense of justice later on.
