Summer movies (no spoilers)

Inception - "eh" with a shoulder shrug. I didn't resent the movie, but it seemed longer than its 2+ hour length. I'd choose The Matrix over Inception almost any day.

Salt - a lot like the "Bourne" movies, although stupider. I do like the Salt character herself, and perhaps the sequels won't have such a stupidly over-the-top story line.

Despicable Me - the screen play teeters a bit at several points. But overall a touching, if predictable, film. It worked for me.
