THE REVIEWS ARE IN AND THEY’RE RAVING!!!
“At its most audacious and enterprising, Inception provides just the kind of fully imagined escapism that adventurous filmgoers wish movies aspired to more often. But it’s the story’s most recognizable human struggles — to let go, forgive and move on — that make Inception worth puzzling over, long after its most transporting sensations have washed away.”
– Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
“One of the summer’s hottest, classiest tickets! … A conceptual tour de force … Christopher Nolan is surely one of Hollywood’s most inventive dreamers, given the evidence of his commandingly clever Inception. Applying a vivid sense of procedural detail to a fiendishly intricate yarn set in the labyrinth of the subconscious, the writer-director has devised a heist thriller for surrealists … a metaphysical puzzle, intended to seduce us, mess with our heads and leave a lasting impression. Mission accomplished!”
– Justin Chang, Variety
“Easily the most original movie idea in ages. A devilishly complicated, fiendishly enjoyable sci-fi voyage across a dreamscape that is thoroughly compelling. Following up on such ingenious and intriguing films as The Dark Knight and Memento, Nolan has outdone himself.”
– Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter
“A bold, inventive, audacious entertainment, Inception charts a new course for motion pictures and sets the bar very, very high. In terms of sheer originality, ambition and achievement, Inception is the movie of the summer, the movie of the year and the movie of our dreams. For audiences looking for a break from the usual summer dish Hollywood serves, Inception is a wildly entertaining and dazzling mind-trip not to be missed. Kubrick would have been proud.”
– Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine
“The mind-blowing movie event of the summer … James Bond Meets The Matrix. You can feel the vibe of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner in it, and [Director Christopher] Nolan’s own Memento and The Dark Knight. But Inception glows with a blue-flame intensity all its own.”
– Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Michael Caine

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the best in the dangerous art of extraction: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse; their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.
But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.
This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.

Jack Rebney is the most famous man you’ve never heard of — an RV salesman whose hilarious, foul-mouthed outbursts circulated underground on VHS tapes in the 90s before turning into a full-blown Internet phenomenon in 2005. Today, the “Winnebago Man” has been seen by more than 20 million people worldwide, and is regarded as one of the first and funniest viral videos. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer goes in search of Rebney — and finds him living alone on a mountain top, unaware of his fame. WINNEBAGO MAN is a laugh-out-loud look at viral culture and an unexpectedly poignant tale of one man’s response to unintended celebrity.
Following a two-week shoot in August 1988 for a Winnebago sales ad, a 4-minute outtakes reel surfaced and eventually came to be known as “Winnebago Man.” While the finished sales ad was sent to Winnebago dealers to promote the 1989 Itasca Sunflyer motorhome, copies of the “Winnebago Man” outtakes were being passed amongst the crew and their friends on VHS tape. Eventually the video fell in the hands of videotape collectors, who began copying and trading it, sparking an underground phenomenon that turned Jack Rebney into a cult hero. When the online video revolution took off on YouTube and other websites, Jack Rebney became one of the first viral video superstars.
Today, the “Winnebago Man” clip continues to attract new fans from around the world, including a notable following in Hollywood. The “Winnebago Man” has been quoted in movies and on TV by everyone from Ben Affleck to Alec Baldwin to SpongeBob SquarePants. Conan O’Brien named the “Winnebago Man” video as one of his all-time favorites on YouTube, and Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are) is rumored to have sent out copies of “Winnebago Man” as Christmas gifts. Iron Man 2 features a scene with Tony Stark’s dad, inspired by the Winnebago Man outtakes. There’s even a painting of Jack Rebney – as Shrek – that hangs in offices of Dreamworks Animation!

WARNING: TRAILER CONTAINS PROFANITIES AND HILARITIES.
(Parlez-moi de la pluie)
“It’s really, really good. I often felt watching it that I was in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but it’s in the South of France… it gave me an amused open-mouthed appreciation of life’s absurdities.”
– Stephen Holden, New York Times
starring Agnès Jaoui, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Jamel Debbouze, Pascale Arbillot, Guillaume de Tonquedec, Mimouna Hadji, Frédéric Pierrot and Florence Loiret-Caille
From the celebrated director of LOOK AT ME and THE TASTE OF OTHERS, Agnes Jaoui, comes LET IT RAIN, an endlessly charming and a sharp-witted battle of the sexes. An audience favorite at the New York Film Festival, this charismatic comedy is un-missable for fans of French cinema everywhere.
Agathe Villanova (Jaoui) is a self-centered, workaholic feminist politician who, upon reluctantly returning to her home in the south of France to sort out her mother’s affairs, runs for a local election. Upon her arrival, Agathe grudgingly agrees to take part in a documentary being made by the blundering duo of Karim (Jamel Debbouze, AMELIE) an aspiring filmmaker, and self-professed “reporter” Michel (Jaoui’s regular writing partner Jean-Pierre Bacri), on the subject of “successful women.” As Agathe’s life hilariously unravels, the camera is there to capture it all.
