Tune in Friday 7/23/10 at 8:10 AM to hear Chuck review Salt.
Salt - Angelina Jolie stars as a CIA agent accused of being an undercover Russian agent out to topple the United States. Basically a well-made chase film, its use of old Cold War paranoia in the service of a disposible action film leaves a bad taste. 2 1/2 Stars. (Chuck Koplinski) 100 minutes. Rated PG-13.
Inception - Director Christopher Nolan’s (“The Dark Knight”) dynamic new mind-bender stars Leonard DiCaprio as a contractor who can enter other’s minds when they’re in a dream state in order to steal their thoughts and secrets.He and his team take on one last job so that he might return from exile and be reunited with his family. Complex, smart and haunting, this spectacular sci-fi feature effectively melds its original story with action enough for any movie junkie making it the best of the summer’s offerings.4 Stars (Chuck Koplinski) 142 minutes.Rated PG-13.
Cyrus - John C. Reilly stars as a needy divorced man who starts a relationship with Molly (Marisa Tomei), a giving, beautiful woman who seems perfect.Problem is, her son Cyrus (Jonah Hill) is less than thrilled about John and a battle for Molly’s affections ensues.Darkly comic and buoyed by honest, raw performances, this is the sort of film that generates laughs of recognition, as we’re able to identify with each character’s point of view.3 1/2 Stars (Chuck Koplinski) 91 minutes. Rated R.
