Ok Inception, I get it… you’re trying to mess with my mind. But, how hard is it to do that when you make all the rules, and don’t tell me the information I need to make an informed decision?  Ya, it was interesting, and I suppose I would recommend it as a decent movie, but it didn’t rock my world or anything. I heard some people were going on and on about how confused and twisted the plot was. I really didn’t find it too confusing… you just had to pay attention to what was going on, and what was being said.

This movie was pretty full of itself.  It was rather predictable too – of course paradise is going to fall apart. Some things just didn’t make sense either – why in the world wouldn’t they try to save the shark victim’s life?  couldn’t they boat him to civilization and just say that he got bit by a shark?  come on, people “cool” enough to live in a secret island commune would be cool enough to save some guy’s life.

About the drug-underworld of high school basketball.  I’ve actually heard from some people that this does exist.  After all, the movie is based on a book – a true-life story.  It was well-done, but essentially, it had “been done” before – how far does an addict need to go to hit rock bottom?  Pretty darn far.
