Leonardo DiCaprio is on a roll this year. First with his suspense thriller “Shutter Island” and now with the Sci Fi Thriller, “Inception”, that grossed $60.4 million in its first weekend. In this movie Leonardo plays Dom Cobb, a thief who extracts valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious of his victims while they are asleep, and the mind is at its most vulnerable. His talent at “extraction of information” from people has made him an international fugitive and has also rendered him from being able to see his children, because he cannot come back into the United States. When he is offered one last job, that guarantees that he will be able to reunite with his children, he jumps at the opportunity. The only thing is, this time he won’t be extracting information from someone, but will be trying to accomplish the impossible by reversing the process and actually implanting an idea, which is known as inception. This will be the perfect crime, but Cobb will have to face an enemy that knows his every move, and Cobb is the only one that can stop this threat.

This past weekend a remake of the 1981 movie “Clash of the Titans” came out in theaters. Now although this is being branded as a remake, it’s really a retelling of the story. In this version, humans have given up on praising the gods and Zeus (Liam Neeson) is not happy about it. His brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) tells him that they should make the humans suffer until they have no other choice but to pray to them for forgiveness. Meanwhile Zeus discovers that he fathered a son many years ago with a human woman, who has now grown up to be half man, half god also known as a demi-god. His son is named Perseus (Sam Worthington) and he lives among the humans who the gods seek to punish. Hades visits the humans and tells them that in ten days they must offer their princess Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) as a sacrifice, or suffer the wrath of the mighty beast, the Kracken. Perseus, not having any contact with Zeus and raised by a family that found him when he was a baby, decides that he will find a way to kill the Kracken, and also send Hades back to the underworld. Hades who gains strength from the fears of humans wants Perseus to fail on his mission so that he can seize power from Zeus, who gets his powers from the humans worshiping him. Zeus, not trusting Hades, decides that he will help Perseus along his journey, thereby giving the humans a chance to redeem themselves. On his mission Perseus will have to battle many demons and beast to get to Medusa’s lair, for she is the key to defeating the mighty Kracken. Will Perseus accept the help he needs from his father Zeus? Or will he choose to create his own destiny?

So I know I haven't had much to review these past weeks, but this past weekend brought me back with a “Bang”. The long anticipated screen adaption to the graphic comic novel “Watchmen” finally hit the big screen and boy was the wait worth it. The story revolves around an alternate time frame starting from the 60’s and going into the 80’s where regular people have become costumed superheroes to help fight crime in the streets and have formed a group called “The Watchmen”.
