Live-Action Anastasia

Image
Don Bluth's Anastasia  follows the Disney formula so accurately that it's hard not to think it's a Disney animated movie. It's about two con artists who try to pass off a young woman as royalty, only to find out that she is Russia's missing princess. Here is my cast for a live-action version of the Russian historical fantasy. Emma Stone as Anastasia Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Dimitri Robbie Coltrane as Vladimir Jeremy Irons as Rasputin Kate Winslet as Sophie Hank Azaria as Bartok (voice) And Vanessa Redgrave as Dowager Empress Marie

Inception

Inception  is a very interesting movie, because it kept us guessing what was real and what was a dream. This is how I see it. Ra's al Ghul (Ken Watanabe in Batman Begins ) hires dream thief Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic ) (whose father-in-law is Charlie Croker (Michael Caine in the original The Italian Job )) to break into Dr. Jonathan Crane's (Cillian Murphy in Batman Begins ) head after his father, Magic Man (Pete Postlethwaite in James and the Giant Peach ), dies. Helping him are Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page in Juno ), John Blake, Bane (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises ), and Dr. Max Patel (Dileep Rao in Avatar ), while his crazy dead wife Édith Piaf (Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose ) stalks him through his dreams.
