The role went to Mark Wahlberg making him an overnight Star and although Titanic went on to win 11 Oscars and become the highest-grossing film of all time, Leonardo wishes he had been able to...

Christopher Nolan's Inception left a lot of people with some questions. Is Leonardo DiCaprio still in a dream at the end? Does it matter, or should the only reality that matters be the one you're experiencing? Does the entire film take place in a dream as part of a convoluted metaphor about filmmaking ?

A retrospective of 'Inception' director Christopher Nolan's work
Christopher Nolan had us at hello ... or should that be goodbye, given his rewinding 2001 Thriller "Memento"?
The writer-director is back in theaters with a brain teaser called "Inception" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Nolan is the filmmaker equivalent of Pixar; he has yet to break a winning streak that started with the very modest "Following."
If you're a latecomer to his cinematic charms, here's a look at movies he directed, all of which are available for rental or purchase:

Inception Movie Review ...
Hate me if you will, but I never liked Leonardo DiCaprio. I just never thought he was that good of an actor, or even very attractive... until I saw him in "Inception." Now I'm a fan, and I'm wondering why I never liked him before.
Trailer:
For the record, I didn't even like him in "Titanic." There was just no chemistry between him and Kate Winslet, and he just looked so... young. That's not an issue, at all, in this Movie. DiCaprio is all adult, and the relationships he has...

Movie projector: 'Schmucks,' cats, dogs and Zac Efron will all open behind 'Inception'

Listen To This: 'Inception' Music Easter Egg
It seems the official past time of this particular summer movie season is deciphering Christopher Nolan's mind-bending heist flick, Inception . Critics and fans have been weighing in and dissecting every little detail in hopes of figuring it all out, and as our own Peter Hall discovered , it's not as easy as it looks.

'Inception' ending secrets revealed at last in parody clip
Everyone’s still talking about the last scene of Inception . (I guess I should put a SPOILER ALERT here for anyone who somehow hasn’t gotten around to seeing it.)
Does Cobb’s personal top keep spinning? Does it fall? Is he still dreaming or back in reality?

'Inception' infographic: It's like CliffsNotes for your mind!
You know a movie is complicated when Internet artists start creating infographics to explain its plot. Such is the case with Inception . While I more or less followed the film’s labyrinthine head trip during my first viewing, don’t ask me to tell you exactly what happened to every character and in what level of dream. I couldn’t. That’s what second (and third) viewings are for. But if you want a little help now, a 3-D modeler called dehahs has designed this rather...
College Humor Parodies INCEPTION with Extended Ending
If you haven’t seen Christopher Nolan’s Inception , you should stop reading here.

The video is meant to be an extended ending of Inception and is complete with an audience reaction that proves just how easily...
