Today, I will helpfully throw down the facts on movies currently out there in movie-watching places. I have seen all of them, not a joke*.

The American

Dramatis personae:

  • An American
  • Extras (Foreign)

Machete

The moving story of one man’s personal quest for justice and mass disembowelment.

Eat Pray Love

In this movie, Julia Roberts does the following things.

  • Eats
  • Prays
  • Loves

Piranha 3D

This movie has an unusual premise. Once the patrons have taken their places in the theater, the doors are welded shut and water begins to pour in — first a trickle, then a deafening roar. Moviegoers can watch in horror as the lower levels of seats are engulfed in the torrent. Next, mobs of live piranhas are released into the water. In their final moments, viewers have described it as “A truly immersive cinematic experience,” and “Glug glug, scream.”

Inception

Some people think this is a complex movie. In fact, it’s very simple. A few notes:

  • Dom Cobb’s story is an analogy for the life of Ayn Rand.
  • The spinning top symbolizes the rise and fall of the Prussian Empire, circa 1546 … an event Christopher Nolan personally witnessed.
  • Arthur is actually a woman.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

As far as I can make out from the posters, it’s about holograms.

Nanny Macphee Returns

In a cloud of fire and warts. And yea, then there will come the Final Judgment, and the world will be purged.

*Actually a joke.
