'Inception' finds writer/director Christopher Nolan in familiar territory as his previous reality-bending works ('Memento,' 'The Prestige,' 'The Dark Knight'), and the result is something almost as thrilling to contemplate as it is to watch. Even if you now know a little about what 'Inception' is about, you don’t even know the half of it. Grade: A.  

Drew Barrymore Barrymore has embraced the business of life behind the camera, producing films since 1999 that have caught her fancy, and now she takes a turn in the director's chair with 'Whip It,' the story of a ragtag team of Texas roller derby girls who inspire a lifelong outsider (Ellen Page) to find her own place in the raucous world of wheeled mayhem. It's the kind of story that plays like a random thought drifting through Barrymore's beautiful mind. Grade: B-.  

The film 'Juno,' nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, seems poised to make a star out of its chief soundtrack contributor, Washington state-based Kimya Dawson, as well as its lead actress Ellen Page.
