Welcome to this installment of the Carnival of Cinema. Every two weeks we get together to present the best film-related posts from around the world.




Inception is still on people's mind this week.

Opening the Carnival this week, Arianna Osbourne has some thoughts on Inception over at THE WEEKEND. She also has reviews of the new releases Salt and The Kids are Alright.


Enjoyed Inception? Enjoyed it too much? Find out, head over to Chris' post on MARTIAL DEVELOPMENT and consider if it is good enough to form a religion around.


Ziggy of ZIGGY'S REVIEWS reviews Dinner for Schmucks and claims "Dinner for Schmucks Will have Food Spitting Out of Your Mouth All Through Dinner" I can't imagine spontaneous regurgitation was the primary goal of the filmmakers, but there it is.


Looking for a little something outside the mainstream? Check out SRBRAT's review of Remains at SHORT FILM TALKS.


Looking for a little something older? Check out Marin Lee's review of About a Boy at LEETSEE.COM.


From About a Boy to ABOUT THE MOVIE. That is the site where you can find out more about Zack Snyder's upcoming movie Sucker Punch. Edna Diano has the latest.


The final movie review this week comes from BROKEN PROJECTOR'S Gautam Valluri who is offering a look at Aki Kaurismaki's adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment.




VIDEO DECTECTIVE claims "believe it or not, there are some great chick flicks…even for guys." Maybe so, but not for men. Here is Video Detective's List of the Top 5 Chick Flicks for Guys. Video Detective also has a list of three of the movies will open in movie theaters this weekend: Dinner for Schmucks, Cats & Dogs, and Charlie St. Cloud.

Video Detective also has a top ten list of Japanese Anime Imports to Hollywood.



Closing the Carnival this week, Jim Mercurio analyzes two scripts and poses the question, "Which script do you want to be yours?" Click over to INCURABLE DISEASE OF WRITING to read the post.
