Versus #4: Inception

Posted by Nick in Movies, Reviews on August 26th, 2010.

Nick: My expectations for this movie were pretty high. Not only because Christopher Nolan was involved, but also because his latest effort is ranked #3 on Imbd’s top 250.

10,000 BC Movie Review

Posted by Nick in Movies, Reviews on March 21st, 2008.

Roland Emmerich (director) likes to go back and forth in time, accompanied by a big budget.
