TV Watch Glee
As she deals with rumors that she was fired from Glee, is Naya Rivera's future as a recording artist up in the air, too?

Naya Rivera is likely not in the most gleeful of spirits.

After a dark year, the future for the many cast members of Glee is looking quite bright – white to be precise!
On the heels of Dot Marie Jones's December nuptials, three other weddings are in the works for her Glee costars.
"Everybody is involved. Even [my publicist] is involved," Naya Rivera, 27, tells PEOPLE of being "very deep" into the planning of her walk down the aisle with rapper Big Sean.

Glee star Harry Shum Jr. will be dancing down the aisle.

Lea Michele's debut album marks the former stage star's official transition to pop. But the Glee actress hasn't completely shed some of her theater habits – like being comfortable in the nude.
"I come from Broadway – everybody's naked on Broadway," Michele, who earned rave reviews as a teenager in Spring Awakening, tells Seventeen magazine for its April issue, on sale March 11.
"I like to think of myself as more granola. I'm not going to run around naked or anything like that unless I'm at my own home," she says. "Today, I walked into my backyard and was standing out there naked for a while. Don't tell: My neighbors will freak out!"

Cheyenne Jackson is ready to walk down the aisle again.

Though she usually remains tight-lipped about her relationship with boyfriend and Glee costar Cory Monteith – and the pain she's experienced since his death from an accidental drug overdose last July – Lea Michele has given a surprisingly candid interview.

At first, Naya Rivera didn't confess to planning a family with fiancé Big Sean, but now she's admitting she thinks the rapper is daddy material.

Glee's much-talked-about 100th episode won't air until March, but Naya Rivera is already heating up the set.
The star posted a sexy behind-the-scenes photo to Instagram on Tuesday, captioning it "#Glee100." Rivera is seen in skimpy red lingerie and thigh-high black boots.
Her buzz-worthy, honey-colored locks – which she debuted at the People's Choice Awards – are gone, replaced by a burst of curly dark hair tucked under a hat.

Lea Michele seems to be taking this whole beach bum thing quite literally.

The Knitter's Companion
The Knitter's Companion
By Vicki Square
Gifted by Interweave Press LLC
Book reviewed by Bridget Hardy, FaveCrafts.com Editor
I often find myself with a simple knitting question but no one around to help me. In turn, I end up knitting in the comforts of my home, next to a heavy encyclopedia of knitting. There is no longer any need to stay close to your bookshelf at home, thanks to Vicki Square's The Knitter's Companion.
This guidebook will teach you about and remind you of the basic knitting accessories, terms and techniques. You will have at your fingertips everything you might ever need to know about yarn size and structure, how to measure out different yarn types and what yarn works best for which designs. You will be taking body measurements like a professional, and your final products will come out looking just like the pictures and descriptions! Hints you may find useful are plentiful, and you will probably read about more than one piece of advice that you have never considered.
Additionally, Square's book come with two The Knitter's Companion DVD's, for an interactive knitting tutorial experience. If reading knitting advice is insufficient, try following Square on her DVD.
This book is easy for me to carry alongside my knitting needles and yarn, and it has everything I could dream of and more. I don't feel like a novice any longer thanks to Square's exceptional knitting advice! I am not afraid to show my fellow knitters the source of my new knitting knowledge either; they love the book as much as I do. I know what I'm getting my friends for Christmas!

In 1985, the federal government set up "Javits grants" to serve groups traditionally underrepresented in gifted and talented programs. Project M3 is now in its fifth and final year of a $3 million Javits grant. Overall, the federal money pales in comparison with other education programs – just about one penny per child identified as gifted, Dr. VanTassel-Baska says – but it has helped spur progress. School systems have begun to use a better variety of assessments, for instance, including nonverbal tests to find talents that might be masked if students are still mastering language skills.
One barrier is that many schools still look to teacher referrals before evaluating students for gifted programs, says Donna Ford, an education professor at Vanderbilt and codirector of that university's Achievement Gap Project. "Teacher training is critical to recognize potential," she says, but few teachers learn much about gifted education or how to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students. Project M3 took these issues to heart, using a wide range of measures to identify second-graders with "talent potential," and then building in extensive support for teachers.
"It's a little intimidating to an elementary teacher to try to teach a program like this, because it's high-level math," says Jo-Ann Lizon, who taught the M3 curriculum to two groups of fourth-graders at Charter Oak Academy of Global Studies in West Hartford, Conn. The students participate for three years, working on concepts one to two grade levels above what's typical. Every step of the way, Ms. Lizon says, "the support was unbelievable."
Nearly one-third from non-English-speaking households
For two weeks in the summer, she and fellow teachers went through the curriculum with the developers, pointing out any trouble spots. During the school year, they have four professional development days and weekly visits from a Project M3 specialist.
About 30 percent of the students at Charter Oak are from families that speak a language other than English at home. They particularly benefit from the emphasis on vocabulary, discourse, and writing in M3. "I've seen the growth – in discussions about math, working on a team, solving problems, thinking on a higher level," Principal Mary Thompson says.

Steptoe & Johnson picked up James Hibey, a former cochair of Howrey's securities-litigation, government-enforcement, and white-collar-crime practice. He's now a partner in Steptoe's commercial-litigation group.
After announcing four new partners last week, Holland & Knight has picked up another one. Gary Halbert joined the firm from the National Transportation Safety Board, where he was general counsel.
Kirkland & Ellis has also gone on a hiring binge in Washington. The firm welcomed former Federal Trade Commission chairman Tim Muris, Christine Wilson, and Bilal Sayyed—all of whom most recently practiced at O'Melveny & Myers—as partners. Ian Conner, previously at Hunton & Williams, joined Kirkland as of counsel. All four attorneys belong to Kirkland's antitrust practice. Also new to Kirkland is former US Court of Appeals judge Michael McConnell, who joined the firm's litigation practice as of counsel.
Baker Donelson brought on Laine Glisson to its public-policy group as a senior public-policy adviser. She was previously a senior vice president at Dutko Worldwide.
K&L Gates bolstered its public-policy team with the addition of retired Democratic congressman Bart Gordon, who stepped down as a representative from Tennessee earlier this year.
Finally, Drinker Biddle & Reath welcomed Christopher Berendt to its environment-and-energy group, where he's of counsel. He was previously vice president at Pace Global Energy Services.

About Brian Zalewski
I started genealogy research about mid-1999. My grandfather had passed away in April of that year. Since then I've done a lot of research not only for myself, but for friends and other relatives. In 2006, I married the love of my life, Darcy, and welcomed the birth of our daughter, Aerissa Jean, in 2010 and our son, Xander Lee, in 2012. I can't wait to tell them stories about all of their ancestors.

I decided to extend the deadline as nobody frikken entered...
Well after looking around on DA I got an Idea for my first contest.
Lets talk social links and Adachi:
The challenge is write something about Adachi's social link in Persona 4 Golden but there's catch:
Do it with a female protagonist.
We've already seen it with Yu Narukami, so lets see how the link will go if the protagonist was female.
I'll be judging on these aspects:
-the personality of the FeMC((as well as the design,seriously who wants to read about a super boring FeMC?))
-How in character Adachi is((keep in mind how Adachi is))
-If you chose to do a lovers path whether or not the romance is convincing
-faithfulness to aspects in the original S.Link((While you can change up a bit still keep to how it was in a nutshell))
((Note:If you do a comic I will not focus that much on the art as I'm more concerned about the story))
-Write a version of one or two of the game endings to with it
((either the true or the accomplice ending))
-If you go with it being a lovers route please do the bedroom scene how it would in the game
((As in you spent a long time alone with _____ ))
-Link your entry back through the comments((either that or note me,but I'd prefer the comments))
-Do the whole S.link((from beginning to end))
-deadline for the contest is the end of May!!If you enter it later it WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
-You can do the S.Link via Comics,Fan fiction,Or a series of pictures.
1st Place-3 Persona drawings of your choice and a Llama badge!

Searching for Shakespeare catalogue (hardback)
With new scientific evidence, this book looks at six contested portraits of the playwright and examines their authenticity
Price: £35.00
Members price: £31.50
With essays by Tarnya Cooper, Marcia Pointon, James Shapiro and Stanley Wells
In 1856 the newly founded National Portrait Gallery was presented with a compelling painting of William Shakespeare, known as the Chandos portrait. Yet whether it represents Shakespeare remains a matter of intense debate. For the first time this book looks at six contested portraits of the playwright and examines their authenticity.
With new scientific evidence - including X-ray, infrared and ultraviolet examination, macro and micro photography and paint sampling - Searching for Shakespeare is an impressive and perceptive contribution to historical, cultural and literary studies.
280 x 240mm, 240 pages, 180 illustrations, 140 in colour, 50,000 words, hardback

Prince covers Radiohead @ Coachella
Radiohead wasn't able to play Coachella this year, so Prince did his own version of their first single, "Creep."
When one rock legend covers another, there's a fine line between one-upmanship and tribute, disrespect and validation. Prince is as cool as they come--surely you've all seen him upstaging Eric Clapton at the 2004 Rock Hall of Fame induction ceremony by shredding the heck out of Clapton's original solo on the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
This weekend, he took a 15-year-old single by one of the biggest bands in the world--a song that the band distanced itself from and seldom plays anymore--and made it sound new again. Prince. Radiohead. "Creep." See the video on YouTube before it's pulled....

Bruce was the best broker I could have asked to work with. I felt absolutely horrid about not ending up renting through him. He displays true patience with his clients as well as a genuine sense of wanting to please them and help them find the best home suited for them. Bruce spent a lot of time with me walking around the city looking at some great places in my budget going above and beyond and he was the most up-front and honest broker I dealt with during my search. (The only reason I didn't end up renting through him is I was new to the New York market and decided to go do foot work of my own in the financial district of some buildings that I saw online featured as a "non-broker fee apt", not that I cared about the fee, but if it was one that I didn't need a broker to see I just wanted to broaden my options. It was for comparison. It ended up being a verrrrry close call! Unfortunately, the building I saw had their own broker which was the contact information given, so legally, I could not go back and get it through Bruce.) However, for future house-hunting, especially buying, I will be using Bruce's services if he will allow me again. I would highly suggest Bruce to anyone that wants a truly knowledgeable broker that is kind, patient, a hard-worker, and won't jerk you around.
I did not rent an apartment from this agent.

The Rock-Paper-Scissors Robot that Can't be Beat
by Mike Casey
posted Jun 28 2012 4:55AM
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have used their powers of geek-dom to create a robot that literally can't be beaten at rock-paper-scissors.
Is the robot reading the player's mind?
It looks at your hand using it's ultra-fast motion sensors, determines what you're about to throw as you're throwing it, and then reacts quickly enough to beat you.
Thank God for the scientists at the University of Tokyo. Money well spent there, boys. Money well spent.

Mikey, you're missing out on the culture of Japan....
Mike, the rock, scissors, paper robot actually IS pretty cool. You say it's "geekdom", but shortly after I moved from Colorado to Japan in the early 90s, I was really surprised at how the Japanese play rock, scissors, paper SO MUCH. Not a kids game with them, they use it all the time and yeah, they have fun with it. So these scientists are using a fun, yet extremely popular game for them to help develop robotics (which the Japanese are very big in working on) that can actually sense such things as hand movements so very fast. It ain't geeky, it's for scientific purposes...just using a fun and national pastime to do it with.

The trip was amazing and very safe! The guide helped us through the border crossing, and the tent experience was amazing! Highly recommend!
Doing what: 2-Day Petra and Jordan Tour from Jerusalem
Excellent trip . From been picked up early by my driver ,who was very polite and good driver . We arrived at petra .i was taken back from start to finish . The little shop there is a little expensive . Its very dusty and old shoes are a must , good walking boots . The beduins love to show you there home land . I will go back if only to see the rest . The high light of my trip was to meet and get my book signed by Margaret who wrote married to a beduin .amazing lady ,amazing story . Its a must for everyone to see the fabulous country and especially Petra . I will be back for sure
Doing what: Private Tour: Petra Day Trip from Amman
Fantastic tour! I paired this with the Jerash half-day and an extra hotel night in Amman. My driver Shadi was fantastic; he knew all the great places to stop for photos and gave great advice and history of the country. The tourist class hotels were perfectly acceptable.
Doing what: 3-Night Jordan Private Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea
Fantastic and well organised tour. The Jordanian tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. A lot of driving but well worth the visit to Petra (amazing!), Jerash and an overnight stay in a Bedouin tent camp.
Doing what: 2-Day Petra and Jordan Tour from Jerusalem
Day 1 wasn't a success! Day 2 was better. Just to show up:
It must be clear to everybody who joins this trip that you spend a lot of time only driving through the country.
First at all: The Jordan tour guide wasn't that professional as we expected. During our drive from the border to Jaresh it took us two hours instead of one because they (tour guide, driver and tourist police man) missed the direction. After pointing to that circumstance she (tour guide) gave an answer which in our opinion we declare as a lame excuse: "It was because of the rain that we had to take another direction to Jaresh". By the way: There was only light rain falling. We guess it wasn't just for fun that after they missed the street they checked google maps for the right direction. Due to this circumstance we didn't past the Ajloun castle nor we couldn't admire the views of it and had also no time anymore to spent in Amman. We only visited the Citadel what we suggest can be taken out of the program because it's more or less 'the same' as you can see in Jaresh. After all we finally arrived at the Bedouin camp at 21:45 what was to late! We had dinner but there was no time anymore for a relaxed Bedouin dinner around the campfire! By the way: She also wasn't aware that three persons of the group booked the night at the hotel. So that had to be organized after it was told to her! So we wouldn't recommend this trip as it is set up at the moment because there are to many attractions and not enough time especially on the Day 1. Also we wouldn't do the trip again with the same tour guide.
Doing what: 2-Day Petra and Jordan Tour from Jerusalem
What an amazing journey around Jordan! The places are hours apart but we had a comfortable vehicle and a great driver/guide Amer! We started out at Petra at 6am which is highly recommended!! All our pictures are sans tourists!!! The food throughout the journey was very Jordanian and wonderful. We found wonderful places for lunch as well. Airport pick up and drop off was stress free!!
Doing what: 3-Night Jordan Private Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea
The trip was well organised, the driver very polite and was always on time. We were disappointed with the hotel in Amman, the Corp. this hotel didn't measure up to the superior standard hotel we booked. The Viator website mentioned as Regency Hotel or similar. The Regency Hotel was just across the road, and the Corp Hotel was certainly not similar. The dinner on the first day was also pretty basic. Other than this, the rest of the trip went well and we enjoyed it overall.

Need more time in Petra it see it all.
Doing what: Petra Day Trip from Tel Aviv - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Oct 6th,2014. Flew from Tel Aviv at 6:30 in the morning and landed in Eilat where I was picked up to travel the 2 km to the border. The crossing into Jordan went smoothly. A bit of a wait for everybody else in the tour to get there. The tour was very good and the guide was as well. Had a lunch that was included and was good, but not great. After the day of touring made our way back to the border and crossed again, no problem. I flew back to Tel Aviv and was back at the hotel at 10:00 pm. A long day but well worth it.

This tour was amazing. Everybody should have seen it. Unbelievable beautiful and huge. We spend almost 5 hours there, because we wanted to see all, even the biggest building "The Monastery" 800 steps up and back down. Unforgettable experience.
Doing what: Private Tour: Petra Day Trip from Amman
This is a must-do if you visit Jordan! All 3 destinations were breathtaking in their own way. Be sure to pack good walking shoes and sunscreen. We had an amazing private driver who was super friendly, professional and accommodating to our needs too!
Doing what: 3-Night Jordan Private Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea
I just returned from this trip and had the most amazing time. Anyone who is concerned about Jordan's proximity to middle east conflict zones should rest at ease, Jordan is extremely safe and very peaceful. My friend and I traveled together (2 women) from the US and UK. We had a private driver for the whole week, Shadi, who spoke excellent English and was helpful throughout the trip. The cost was inclusive of accommodation with breakfast and dinner at the hotels including days of arrival/departure, and included entrance fees to excursion sites, and local guides at Jerash, Madaba, Mount Nebo, Petra and Wadi Rum. Jordan has something for everyone, it is absolutely beautiful. The hotel in Amman was well appointed and there were plenty of food options. The hotel in Petra was on a ridge in Wadi Musa, the staff were friendly and there was a nice pool complex to relax in. This trip definitely packs in the highlights in 5 full days of excursions. If you enjoy hiking, you may consider adding an extra day in Petra to really explore more of the trails. If you enjoy being in the desert. you may also like to extend your trip with an overnight camping stop at Wadi Rum. On the whole, there was enough time at each of the sites to cover the main features. Jerash is on hill and can be quite windy so take a wind breaker and covered walking shoes (~3 hours). Mount Nebo is spectacular (also windy). The Dead sea resort we visited was fairly basic, but the resort area had adequate changing facilities, a pool and chairs if you want to make a day of it. At Petra, make sure to attend Petra by night, a candlelit experience not to be missed- comfortable closed walking shoes are essential. I would definitely recommend 2 full days in Petra as I love to take pictures and would want to explore more. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The people in Jordan are very welcoming and friendly, and unlike some places, as 2 women we were not hassled at any time. Highly recommended destination.
Doing what: 6-Night Best of Jordan Tour from Amman: Jerash, Dead Sea, Petra and Wadi Rum
nice day trip.
things to do better: 1) the voucher more clear, more details, flight company, plan....thanks 2) better place to have lunch, not very good. too touristic and average food quality
other things good....nice guy who guided us through Petra!

Worth doing but don't expect to see much.
I was expecting to see a lot more of the buildings on this site as it is in such a large area and took us a while to get to from Tel Aviv, but the guide spent so much time hanging about souvenir shops and "rest" breaks that we didn't get to see much at all!!! We had 25/30 mins precious time hanging around the Treasury when we could have moved on to some of the other buildings. Then we ended up in a jewellery shop in Aquaba when we could have stayed longer in Petra.
This tour needs to stick more to the reason people want to see this Heritage site as it is very expensive to end up seeing so little. The lunch was very nice though.

Fezzik is 9 weeks old. When we got him at 7 weeks his right ear was up and left ear floppy. Last week (8 wks) both ears were up and looked great! As of a few days ago his right ear is now completely down with no signs of any strength, flops to the side and is now showing signs of hair loss.
Should we be concerned?

Nope. Don't worry. The general rule of thumb is "if they were both up once, they will be again". They are going to do all sorts of crazy things over the next couple of months. They will most likely start flipping again when he starts teething. It's normal.

Have you checked his ears for any signs of infection? Sometimes ear infections can cause the ears to drop.

Thanks. His ears seem a little dirty and he has scratched at them but we notice he has dry skin and scratches in general.
He has his next vet apt in 7 days but im considering moving it up because of a possible infection (they have a faint odor to them).

Welcome to Cryptogasm!
Welcome to Cryptogasm, a new blog about Information Security, a subject that is very important in our data-centric world, and something that should be a high priority for anyone who uses a computer (although sadly in most cases this is not the case). On the blog I shall talk about my own work, as well as update you all with the latest security related news, and endeavour to explain some of the more complex issues of Information Security in a way that is both informative and easy to understand.
So who am I? Well, my name is Adrian Hayter, and I'm currently working on an MSc in Information Security from the prestigious Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. I graduated from the same university in July of 2010 with a BSc in Computer Science (Information Security), so I'd like to think I know at least something about the vast subject that is Information Security.
I have been interested in codes and cryptography for many years prior to my university education though, and one of my earliest memories is helping my father write a computer program (in Visual Basic) that encrypted messages using a simple Caesar Cipher. Since then, I have taken an active role in learning about security, whether through messing around on the command-line, or taking part in hacking challenges.
For my BSc dissertation, I implemented SAML tokens on Android phones to demonstrate how they could be used to protect one's privacy over a network, and for my MSc thesis, I am investigating the future of passwords.
So stay tuned, subscribe to my feed, and I hope you enjoy the blog!

Up until last season, Darren Helm appeared well on his way to a long, productive career with the Detroit Red Wings. That still may very well prove to be the case, but injuries are complicating the situation at the moment. In fact, a nagging back problem cost the speedy forward all but one game in the 2012-13 campaign, and there's no guarantee as to exactly when he'll be ready to play again.

How Mexico is tackling the swine flu
Schools and nightclubs are closed. Health officials have new powers to quarantine homes.
Eliana Aponte/Reuters
Mexico City
At the epicenter of a swine flu health crisis that has the world on alert, Mexico is working hard to maintain public calm.
Streets in Mexico City that are normally choked with traffic were free-flowing over the weekend. Bars and churches were shut, and parks were empty. This city of 20 million residents – and their elected officials – is taking seriously precautions against contracting the new strain of the virus.
First detected April 13 in Mexico, swine flu may be responsible for as many as 81 deaths here, as well some 20 milder cases – but no deaths – in California, New York, Texas, Ohio, and Kansas. There are also suspected cases in Canada, Europe, and New Zealand.
Mexican President Felipe Calderón, who has employed the Army in a war with ruthless drug traffickers, has now given special powers to health officials. He's granted health authorities the right to enter homes and forcibly quarantine those diagnosed with the illness.

A mind-blowing, fantastic film concerning dreams and their dimensions, and how one man (DiCaprio) assembles a team together in order to plant an idea in an important businessman's mind (Cillian Murphy), so that he can be granted his wish to return to his home. This is a mostly astonishing picture, one that requires its audience to remain on the edge of their seats throughout its entirety. With so many thoughtless, hollow summer blockbusters coming out nowadays, it's a treat to finally see something of this complexity come out at this time of the year. Leo, as always, turns in a magnificent performance. The only fault this film has is its lack of character development amongst the supporting parts, which I originally dismissed but now that I think of it - what do we know about Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the film despite him walking all over walls and Tom Hardy's smart-aleckness? Although it's easy to get lost in this adventure, director Nolan doesn't expect you to understand every key aspect of this film. Instead, just accept the fact that this is a complicated movie, but one whose story is handled with meticulous care. Without question a very good film, and one that is deserving of the massive amount of attention and cash-flow it has received.

Paid more for IMAX. Not terribly impressed. I've been waiting for another "Memento"-esque movie from Nolan, but the more popular he gets, the more mainstream his movies become. Huge blockbuster effects over subtle representations of deceit, action, and love. This movie about dreams doesn't really gel with me personally because I don't have dreams in which I can "do anything." I can't make decisions in my dreams, so I was hoping this movie would address how different people dream, dream theory, common dreams, and perhaps dream interpretation, not just cool zero gravity fight scenes and "repression." There are also several plot holes/inconsistencies. I don't buy that Ariadne would be the only one to try to crack Cobb's subconsciousness. His team has worked with him for much longer, and they still don't realize what danger they're in? How could the team not have realized Arthur's dream would coincide with the van crashing off the bridge and as such, prepare for zero gravity? What is this call that Saito makes to absolve Cobb of his past? How is Cobb even implicated in Mal's death when her point of impact from the hotel room is below a different hotel room than the one that holds signs of struggle? Why is Mal's name so obviously evil? And IF the top DOESN'T topple over at the end, then whose dream and what level are we in? The emotional and psychological elements of the movie aren't as effortlessly beautiful as the easily malleable dream worlds, which as I mentioned before, isn't EVERYONE'S dream world. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is just about the hottest guy ever. Cillian Murphy is a close second. |

"Extractor" Leonardo DiCaprio who specializes in invading the dreams of others for the purpose of corporate espionage is recruited by an industrialist to "persuade" the heir of a competitor to dissolve his father's company. Christopher Nolan once more produces a mind-bending concept for a genre spanning thriller that is sci-fi, spy thriller and heist movie in equal measure. The alternate reality based structure and gravity defying action scenes are very Matrix-like, the concept rather like Dreamscape (an old Dennis Quaid vehicle with an intriguing concept as Nolan no doubt recognised that was unfortunately compromised by 80s cheese) and execution rather like that of Minority Report. As such I didn't think it was quite as original as everyone else seems to but it is done with considerable style and intelligence and is never guilty of dumbing down for the audience. By the end, the multi-layered story is a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream(!), each with not only their own timeline but timeSCALE too, but thanks to Nolan's sure footed direction it is still relatively easy to follow. The cast are all very watchable, DiCaprio once again proving that he is one of the most versatile leading men around and there are some absolutely eye-popping visuals. My only gripe is that the core of the story centred on DiCaprio's personal problems rather than the more interesting heist thread, meaning that the twist is fairly predictable (by his standards) and at times it did feel to me that he was being clever for the sole sake of being clever. It is supremely entertaining however and I felt that it finished in the perfect way. Basically Inception is the film Total Recall may have been if it hadn't been shit.

it seemed like it tried way too hard to be the modern day matrix but failed miserably. the first matrix was hard to comprehend but it was entertaining but this movie was so hard to comprehend it wasn't entertaining it was just nauseating and i literally walked out of the theater with a migraine. It was a stupid plot i mean cmon dreams within dreams within dreams, and time slows down in a dream when you dream but time speeds up in real life and when you get shot in the dream world you go into limbo o_O. Its also said that this movie took 10 years to complete and come up with the idea. Christopher should've just stuck with the dream within dream thing then it probably wouldn't have been as hard to comprehend. There was one thing i liked though, Cillian Murphy or Richard Fischer in the film, this character was an interesting character i mean he played the freaking scarecrow in batman begins also under the direction of Nolan. Nolan just stick to another Batman movie next time

It's stylish, compelling, kinetic and relentlessly cool. A must-see. It's a spectacular, pulse-pounding and utterly mind-blowing edge of your seat thriller. A spellbinding original that pushes your mind to limits that you might not be able to handle. It's one hell of an amazing journey that truly takes your breath away. It's 007 meets The Matrix on steroids. A tremendously entertaining and unforgettable thrill-ride that truly delivers. It's truly mind-shattering and frequently amazing. An instant classic. An ingenious masterpiece. Director, Christopher Nolan has crafted a new breed of psychological thriller. It's Nolan's biggest and most accomplished work as a director yet. It's slickly written, superbly crafted and brilliantly performed. A total blast of heart-pounding suspense, adrenaline-pumping action and a brilliant plot. It delivers more twist and turns than a Chinese puzzle that will push you to the limit. A dazzling, powerful and relentlessly exhilarating action-packed ride. It has loads of eye-popping special effects and incredible action sequences. A magnetic and explosive visual treat for the eyes and ears. An excellent and incredible movie you will want to see again. An extraordinary mixture of science fiction, mystery and action all rolled into a superb and exciting heist film. An electrifying experience that has to be seen to be believed. An all-star cast that packs serious heat. They all deliver outstanding performances. Leonardo DiCaprio is brilliant, he shows such dynamic star power and emotional vulnerability. Cillian Murphy is sensational. Ellen Page is wonderful. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is fantastic. Ken Wananabe is excellent. Tom Hardy is terrific.

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date: Inception. Inception is a well-made movie, filmed in about 6 locations all over the world. The directing was outstanding, there were only about two moments, maybe three seconds in total, where i noticed that visual effects were being used (of course defying gravity is pretty difficult). The plot was very pleasingly intricate, with a twist-and-turn, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat type feel. It's great to see a movie with a thick and emotional plot and not just grenade-throwing action heroes who achieve greatness in the end. Inception also has a very well-composed score, which to me was the finishing touch to a perfect movie. If you're thinking about seeing Inception, definitely go! Even though i was fortunate enough to see a free show, it is worth every penny you pay. Truly unique, like nothing i've ever seen before. Christopher Nolan certainly covered new ground with this film and wasn't afraid to leave us hanging with a spectacular ending.

Now I have my favorite film of all-time. A psychological, action-packed, dramatic, mysterious and hard-to-grasp thriller in Inception. Christopher Nolan builds a well-evaluated and constructed script that nearly drained him of ten years. But it was worth it with the amount of visually awe-inspiring scenes, masterful chemistry amongst the stars and conclusion that still brings people into their most questionable of consciousness or subconsciousness. Inception is a classic masterpiece that will forever exceed any length or limit, dreaming or not. 5/5

Christopher Nolan once again proves that he is truly one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. I generally don't really get into the plots when I review movies on here, but I'm not about to reverse that trend, at least not with this movie. The less you know about it going in, the better it is. If you've seen the trailers, don't worry- they don't give the whole movie away, and really only scratch the surface. One of the reasons why Nolan is one of the best is because he is so imaginative. This movie is basically a heist type movie, yet it doesn't follow strict conventions of that genre, and it is wholly unique in its own right. Setting the story within the mind, and within multiple levels of dreams is one of the coolest and most intellect engaging ideas I've come across. I do have a couple of nitpicks though. The movie is not as complex as it seems or could be (but it's not straight forward either), and a lot more could be done within the dreams- the possibilities are limitless. So, even though this becomes an action movie, it's far from formulaic, and it's a damn impressive feat at that. Also, the lack of boobs was surprising. I can suspend disbelief, but with a male dominated cast spending lots of time in the human subconscious, it seems reasonable to expect boobs. Other than that, I have no real complaints, except this slight one: a few of the action scenes (mainly the chase scenes) are a tad blurry and out of focus in the closer shots, making it a little hard to tell what's happening. But thankfully it's never bad enough to be really distracting. Still though, it did catch my eye. I appreciate that not everything was spoonfed to the audience and you had to pay attention, but you didn't struggle to "get it" no matter how hard you focused. The pacing is wonderful. This is a long movie, but I never got bored, and never checked my watch or anything like that. A few critics have pointed out that some of the exposition in the beginning is too much, and it bogs things down a bit, but it is necessary since it lets people know the basics of what's happening. It never felt like too much either, at least not to me. I found it all very absorbing and captivating. The cast is wonderful,and their acting is likewisie really good, although it's not great across the board. I wish Ellen Page would have been given a little less ponderous dialogue, but like how she played a major role. DiCaprio is terrific, continuing in his recent tradition of playing emotional and mentally damaged individuals. I figured that Cotillard would have a relatively minor role, but I'm so happy she also is at the forefront of things. Levitt is decent, Watanabe is good (although slightly unintelligable at times), Murphy is good as usual, but Hardy is the scene stealer. It was nice to see Berenger again, too. The screenplay is just fantastic. Nolan has been working on the film for 10 years, and it shows. Everything is crafted so meticulously and thought out ridiculously well. I don't like to try to guess the ending of movies, but even though I thought I knew the general direction this film would take, I had no idea how it might get there, and was ore surprised to find out that I did get surprised by things. The thing about this movie getting the most attention is the visual effects. They are absolutely brilliant. I loved how very little of what is on screen is CGI- with in camera stuff and practical effects being the preferred way of doing things. It gives me hope that CGI won't totally dominate. The action sequences are intense, and in some cases (hotel hallway scenes) really creative. This is a new classic, and definitely will become a new standard of how to make a film. Nolan has always been a bar setter, but this time he's set it ridiculously high. It does take influence from film noir, heist movies, Bond films, sci-fi films such as The Matrix, and throws in a heavy dose of emotional weight and psychoanalysis, and, even though it is a bit pretentious, it takes all the things it borrows from, flips it over, and creates a totally unique,awe-inspiring, and thought provoking motion picture. Oh yeah, one more thing: the music is absolutely fantastic. God Bless Hans Zimmer. The usage of a certain Piaf tune is awesome and perfect as well. *EDIT* I've given this one a lot of thoguht, and I'm going to re-review it, well add more of a P.S. I'm keeping the original review up, since I like it, but I must say, this film doesn't quite have the wow factor when held up to closer scrutiny. The impact is slightly diminshed, and the film isn't as good as it initially seemed, but it is still quite an enjoyable achievement. Also, while I love Ellen Page, and love that she plays a major role, her character really doesn't have all that much (if any) motivation to do what she does, making it kind of a waste. I still love the fact that the twist to this movie is that it may or may not have a twist. It's also cool that the dream world is grounded more or less in reality, which is unexpected, but the film could have been a lot more "out there" and really gone off the deep end with it. I'm still extremely zealous about this movie, but in the grand scheme of things, perhaps I'll knock it down a notch even more. Not so much out of spite, but for the fact that letting it sit for a while, and personally experienceing some changes and maturations in my life has impacted my view, and, while this still might be a high water mark for intelligent action cinema, it's not the Citizen Kane of it either. |

The summer block buster. First started by Stephen Spielberg with the classic, "Jaws". They are known for their high budgets, low quality, and all-star casts. But in Christopher Nolans newest film since "The Dark Knight", he's decided to take the summer blockbuster to a hole new level with "Inception".
"Inception" is about a group of criminals who get paid to break into peoples dreams to steal there ideas through a process called "extraction". But when the gangs leader and most experienced member, Dominic Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is given an offer he can't refuse, he has to do his most difficult job ever and attempt a difficult process called "inception". Now, for the sake of the film, I won't reveal to much exept it was the best 2 and 1/2 hrs I've spent at the movies in a long time. With the perfect cast and an intriguing story that will keep your focus hostage for every second you spend in that theater. If I had to say anything was wrong with this film, it would be that I found they focused to much on building the character of Cobb and left the other characters as just sterio-types. I did find the characters entertaining none the less. But what really sells this film is the sequences. As Brett has allready said on The Rotten Tomatoes Show, this film gets cudos for having amazing action sequences without the need of 3D. 3D was cool, but we need to give it a break. Actually, this film gets the award for most creatively awsome fight seen EVER in my books. I don't want to go into detail, but remember when that hallway was spinning around in the trailer and that guy was fighting that other guy? Yeah. Oh yeah. You can deffinitely tell that this film is a Chritopher Nolan: 1. It has Micheal Cain in it. 2. It has the same mysterious outlook that you can find in other Chritopher Nolan films like "The Dark Knight" or "The Prestige". 3. If it looks cool, it's a Chritopher Nolan. 4. Christopher Nolans films have intense plots with unpredictable twists and intriguing stories, just like in "Inception. 5. It's really long. 6. You feel like a piece of wood floating down a river on it's current. Christopher Nolan is the current, controlling your emotions and making them go exactly where he wants them to. There have been many movies this summer, and there will be many more, but I don't think any of them will live up to "Inception". Let me tell you why; if you are watching this film and nature calls, you'll pee yourself because you don't want to leave the theater. |

Whenever Christopher Nolan comes out with a new movie, you know it's gonna be something out of the ordinary. And with all the hype that's been circulating around this one, I just had to check it out on the big screen. Anyhow, it didn't take long before I realised I was in for something special. The zero gravity scenes alone knocked the wind out of me, and I got that same great kick as when I saw The Dark Knight for the first time (which is saying a lot, considering it's one of my all-time favourite movies). And although I didn't love this one as much, it's still an amazing tour-de-force, worthy of remembrance. The storyline is mind-boggingly intricate, and about as well-written as a script can be. Nolan is one of exceptionally few directors in this world who knows the formula for a perfectly balanced film. Most don't even come close to his genius and brilliance. So if you're gonna see one movie in the cinema this year, be sure it's this one. It's clever, exhilarating and terrific in all aspects. A mesmerizing experience and one of the best films of the last decade. In other words, don't miss it!
