We will hold the contest on Facebook and randomly select the winner as always. The winner will be able to pick up Madden 11 at Underground Games on 8-10-10 or after.

The film Inception is paradoxically brilliant as well as a comprehensive mind bender. From the plot to the cast to the cinematography, every part of this feature is well thought out and handled with care. To try to explain any of the plots to you would be doing it a disservice. You must experience this for yourself. We recommend not watching the trailer if you can handle such self control.

If you like the kinds of movies that make you think about them for hours after you’ve left the theater then this is for you.  It was so good it is worth watching again just to see what we missed on the initial viewing. It’s refreshing to see Hollywood take such an interesting concept and do it so well.

If you liked Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight wait till you see Inception!
