My thoughts on the proliferation of RealD in a post-Avatar world, why theatres suck, and what they could do to improve the movie-going experience. What are your thoughts on all of the above and more? Do you enjoy going to the theatres? What is your opinion on EVERY movie going 3-D? Watch my video to find out what I think about all of these questions and more.

![Inception Movie Review [HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ljOyAd1Iu24/mqdefault.jpg "Inception Movie Review [HD]
My thoughts on Christopher Nolans follow-up to his smash success, The Dark Knight. Is this film, rumored to be another Memento-esque jigsaw puzzle, worth seeing? Does this action thriller maintain both its intellectual and visceral qualities? Moreover, does this film manage to anchor itself in an emotional core? Watch my review and find out!

My thoughts on the recently-released (in North America, anyway) anime movie Sword of the Stranger. The Canadian Premiere was at Anime North this year and it was the biggest video at the show. Should you see it though? Is it Samurai bliss or is should you, like a Ronin, wander on by? Watch the review to find out!
Opening Song: Just Like Honey by Jesus and the Mary Chains

My thoughts on the Hunter S. Thompson book Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72. Is this book worth picking up if youre a fan of Hunter S. Thompsons book? If not? Watch the review and find out!

Afterthoughts:
In retrospect, I did want to make sure to mention that this is still a good book, I merely wanted to point out some of the flaws it had. It is not as exciting as some of his other works but is both highly informative and worth picking up. Also, the themes (I do realize) are a continuation of the themes in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, as this takes place chronologically after that novel. Also, this book contains many of the famous Hunter stories that are often related to describe the person- much silliness and slyness abound- such as the Ibogaine rumor, so this is still a must-read for true fans. Lastly, I wanted to mention the dramatic aspects of the novel I failed to mention in the review, such as a Vietnam-vet march, which is described in tremendously effecting detail by the author. These are, like the digressions and side stories, spread sporadically throughout the book-which also adds to the value of the book.")

My thoughts on the 2009 comedy based off of Tucker Maxs best-selling book of the same name. Do you not know about the book or movie? I wouldnt be surprised. The movie is only in limited release so its likely not playing near you (or at least not advertised). Do you hate Tucker Max and want to see me RIP HIM A NEW ONE? Or do you want to know if all the (endless) bad press is true? Watch my review and find out.

My thoughts on the 2009 Pixar movie Up, by the same director of the earlier Monsters. Inc. Is this an animated adventure for all ages or is it a flop all-around? Watch my review and find out! Comments are always welcome, as is criticism, as long is it is constructive- otherwise I will delete it. That said, enjoy the review! =D
