If you happen to come across a small fortune or sub lease a home for a short time you might be able to afford a Movie ticket. If this is the case, here’s some NPNR approved films to see in theater.

Inception 9.5/10

As Tracy Jordan would say, ” I love this movie so much I wanna take it behind the Middle School and get it pregnant.” Nolan gives us the 2010 summer blockbuster with great action, an intriguing plot, grade A casting, and an artfully lucid element that leaves us wanting more (even after two and a half hours). A big movie that still retains a love of film making and challenges what can be done in an action sequence. At the end of the last decade, we got the matrix and now we have inception.

Winter’s Bone 8/10

This beautifully dull film about a backwoods family with a hierarchy that ends at a 16 year old girl inspires quiet a bit of pity. Feelings of isolation and vulnerability make this a film well worth the $8.50. If you can find an art theatre playing it, that is.

Toy Story 3  (8.5/10)

Like this needs to be said. I’d argue those of us who grew up linear to the progression of TS1 TS2 and TS3 could be called Generation Toystory. Appropriate ages 3-103
