Re-Watchterpiece Theatre: Inception (2010)

Re-Watchterpiece Theater is a series that explores the organic way that attitudes about films change after you watch them a second time, a third time, or more, further down the line than the original viewing. This time around, I’ve checked in on a film that I liked a great deal just two years ago- Christopher Nolan’s Inception. The re-watch was inspired when I received a copy on Blu-ray from Warner Home Video as part of their Blu-ray Elite program. Normally, the re-watchterpiece series involves films that are much older. But I’ve read a great deal of criticism about Inception since the initial viewing, and I thought it’d be great to re-watch it with those critiques in mind.

Xtranormal Videos of Best Picture Nominees

You may have seen the Geico commercials with the weird bears “or dogs or something”. They originated at xtranormal.com, which has multiple options for “actors” that you can put in your “movies”. I took a stab at it using the Oscar Best Picture nominees as my guide. Enjoy!
