Fewer Reviews!
I will be reducing the number of films posted here at Radford Reviews. When I started this Web site many years ago, I did it as a side project, and it quickly grew and gained readers.
Fortunately for my professional life (but unfortunately for Radford Reviews), I no longer have the free time to do as many reviews of the quality I require. Between commuting to the theaters, seeing the films, and doing the writing, editing, and posting, films are a huge time investment.
I am writing books, articles, weekly columns for LiveScience.com, putting one film (Clicker Clatter) in festivals while finishing another (Sirens), giving talks, designing a board game, and much more. You can find updates on me at www.RadfordBooks.com. Thanks for visiting!
Inception a Flawed Conception (2010)
Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page
Director: hristopher Nolan
Plugs: Hyundai
I went into the new film Inception with high hopes. The film had gotten good buzz, I was a fan of the director’s previous works, and in general I like intelligent, well-written thrillers. Unfortunately, Inception is not one of them.

Micmacs (2010)
Stars: Dany Boon and Dominique Pinon
Director: Jean Pierre Jeunet
Plugs: None
Even if you watch the new film Micmacs without sound and just read the subtitles (and therefore don’t hear the French dialogue), you would probably recognize it as a French film. It is thoroughly francophonic from first to last frame.
