inception vs. white ribbon

i saw inception last night. my review of the movie is less than forgiving, so i'll spare you the bitter and cynical assessment of hollywood films. yes, i realize that a lot of people have really enjoyed this movie so far but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. save yourself the $15.

on the other hand, i recently watched white ribbon by michael haneke, which was wonderful, shocking and unlike inception, original and affecting. as some of you may know, this is a slightly biased opinion. i'm a huge haneke fan and love his entire repertoire. this film did not disappoint and is now high on my list of haneke favorites. actually, i just returned the dvd today, almost two weeks late. it probably would have been cheaper to just buy it.

if you like german cinema, subtitles and a lot of unhappy looking children, I definitely suggest you watch it.

I second the anti-Inception motion!
