Saw two quality movies this weekend.
Inception - It starts slow and I'll be able to understand why some people really won't like it, but it worked for me. Perhaps the most successful filming of a Philip K. Dick novel to date except that it isn't based on a Philip K. Dick novel. It hangs together rather well with complex levels and doesn't feel the need to explain every little detail (though it does need to set things up with is why it started slow). Good performances but not particularly deep characters.
Winter Bones - The other end of the Hollywood magic spectrum. A small movie with great performances. A mob movie in the Ozarks. I strongly recommend you go out and see this one because it is one of those small distribution movies you'll otherwise forget to ever watch otherwise.
