Picked two films with very high ratings as possibilities to go see: Dicaprio's Inception with a very high rating (9 stars) and another film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World with an incredible 10 stars. The Pilgrim movie seemed to be a bit young for me (about a guy in a band having to deal with a girl's evil ex-boyfriends in order to date her) so I plumped for Inception which is Sci-Fi and which I usually like.

I lasted about 30 minutes in Inception. It was trying too hard and delivering nothing. Starting off with 3 dream-in-a-dream sequences, mediocre acting, and non-existent dialogue, it got progressively worse. I didn't stick around, been there, done that.

Luckily for me, I walked into the Scott Pilgrim movie in-progress and saw a very different and funny movie. Yeah, it's juvenile but hilarious. A takeoff on bands, anime, gaming, and young love in general. The casting/acting was impeccable for a no-name film and the script made me chuckle through-out. If there weren't so many gay jokes, I'd take my kids to see it. Even if you aren't into computer games, you may appreciate a lot of the humor. Kids should love it.

Best thing of all, it was more than payback for having to sit through part of Inception, :^)
