Salt — It’s a sony-salt-postersolid spy actioner that does its job well, and it might just leave you breathless from time to time. What’s not to like?

InceptionInception is not only the best film I’ve seen thus far in 2010, it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen, and has rightfully earned a spot on my Top 10 list.  This is a moment in cinematic history that shouldn’t be missed.

Jaws 3-D — This 41FmJMl9cLL._SL500_AA300_is an example of product placement at its most errant. I don’t know what SeaWorld hoped to accomplish through their involvement with Jaws 3-D; maybe they thought people would flock to Orlando because they wanted to get trapped in an underwater tunnel while a giant shark rammed its fragile glass tubing. Fun!

Breakdown — The movie does give way to certain conventions from time to time, and I wish it would’ve built up the paranoia just a little longer before the “big reveal” occurs (a la Arlington Road), but there’s no denying the intensity on display here.

Sacrifice in the Movies — The idea of offering a sacrifice to a “higher power,” whether it’s in the form of slain animals or something more acceptable for contemporary society, has been around for a very long time. It should be no wonder, then, that it pervades the movies we encounter.
