RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

Did anyone see the Smurfs? I have my doubts about it being any good, just wondering if anyone liked it. I went to Cowboys and Aliens instead, which was a pretty decent movie. It's weird having Western and Sci-Fi mixed, but it turned out to be a good summer action flick.

So he made a movie about his dream, making a movie. I call Inception.
By the way, Inception is pretty good. Go watch it. (just try to look past the voice acting, it's really, really bad)
