Nolan keeps us coming back for more

Christopher Nolan writes and directs the science-fiction mind-thriller Inception.

The man likes to mess with our heads. In Memento, he takes us through what must be the most gripping mystery/thriller ever conceived. My brain has never recovered from that experience.

He also likes to surround himself with equally passionate actors. Obviously, his preference is for those whose intensity can match and fuel his own. He directed Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, a movie that leaves one literally exhausted from its sheer weight. And now, Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception. A brilliantly assembled supporting cast further reinforces his vision and effectively translates it onto the screen. Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy have made repeated appearances and are also in the current film.

I can't wait to see this movie. Here is the trailer, to tide us over until its release in July 2010.
