1. Inception

   18 July, 2010:

   Inception plays as if Christopher Nolan was in a pub one night and an angry drunk shouted “Oi! Nolan! Think you’re clever with your intertwining narratives and chronological playfulness? I bet you can’t juggle five different threads at once though, spacially, temporally and in a coherent and entertaining fashion!”, and Nolan went off and did it, just to prove a point. He succeeds, but at the expense of characterisation and a sense of any meaning or purpose.

   The Departed

   15 October, 2006:

   This was a film that crept up on me; I had no idea it was being made, its background, who was involved…the first I heard of it was when I saw the ‘so poor I felt a bit sorry for it’ Black Dahlia and caught the trailer. I knew absolutely nothing about it and saw it on a vague whim, because I felt that The Queen and Clerks 2 could probably wait until DVD. And I’m glad I did, because The Departed turned out to be one of the best films I’ve seen all year.
