Oscar-nominated for Best Picture, this unnerving sci-fi thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb, who earns a tidy sum infiltrating the dreams of corporate titans to steal their most closely held secrets. Tapped by a rich industrialist (Ken Watanabe) for a job involving a rival's heir, Cobb marshals a team of specialists that includes his right-hand man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), an architecture student (Ellen Page) and a chemist (Dileep Rao).
My fellow movie critics call this “a film that rewards intellect.” I think I got 84% of this movie right. I will be the first one to admit I am not the smartest person. I say this because I could never solve the Rubik's Cube.
This is a long movie. It is 2 hours 28 minutes of my life I will not get back. It is a dream within a dream within a dream movie. You have to really pay close attention to get this and after 2 hours 28 minutes I did not feel satisfied. It was like that one season in Dallas where Bobby was dead and at the end of the season we discover it was just Pam’s bad dream. What was that?
The special effects were incredible. I do like Christopher Nolan as I have enjoyed both Batman movies, The Prestige and Memento but this one was too much. I did not hate this movie or anything but 2 hours 28 minutes is a long time.
I am just going to give this movie 2.8 stars. If you like movies about dreams and memories I would recommend “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)” over this one.

Career bank robber Doug (Ben Affleck) and his volatile partner, Jim (Jeremy Renner), hit a roadblock when Doug falls for bank manager Claire (Rebecca Hall), whom he kidnapped during their last heist. Worse, an FBI agent (Jon Hamm) is now trailing the thieves around their Charlestown, Mass., territory. Affleck directs and co-writes this smart, intricate actioner that co-stars Blake Lively as Krista, Jim's sister and Doug's troubled former flame.
The only problem with this movie is the title. I am a fan of "Entourage" and when I think of "The Town" I can’t help but think of Johnny "Drama" Chase television show "Five Towns" where he plays the Irish older brother. The character of Johnny Drama is trying to make a big comeback just like Ben Affleck. I can’t help but laugh at the similarity.
Having said what I just said I loved this movie. This movie is what “Heat” starring Al Pacino and Robert Deniro should have been. The one scene with Ben Affleck and John Hamm had together reminded me a lot of this and they both did a much better job. Kudos you guys! I am willing to buy all of you a pitcher of Guinness.
I know society is still mad at Ben Afflect for the whole “Bennifer” thing but after seeing this movie I say let’s forgive him. I loved how this movie played out. I understood all the characters’ motivations and this movie worked on so many levels. The only reason I can’t give this movie a solid 4.0 stars is I think escaping a police road chase to be impossible. There are helicopters and cameras everywhere. I have to give this one 3.8 stars. It is a really good movie and I recommend it.

Barney (Sylvester Stallone) leads a ragtag band of hired guns charged with overthrowing a South American despot, a job no official military unit is willing to touch. But once on the ground, the team learns there's more to the mission than they were told. Their next move determines whether they survive -- or are, indeed, expendable. Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li round out a stellar cast.
This movie is a throwback to classic 1980’s action movies. This movie is about fists, kicks, explosions and one-liners. That's it! There is nothing more to it. Do not expect any character development. I liked this film as it doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li are just horrible in delivering their lines. Please note I am not complaining as it was fun to watch. My favorite scene is in the beginning with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis in the Church going over the mission.
The only two people missing here are Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme. I am actually glad of this because I never thought they had much of a sense of humor. Sylvester Stallone definitely has one as he did star in “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.”
I say suspend belief in this and enjoy the film. I am giving it 3.5 stars as I have seen a lot of different action movies over the years and it was fun to watch them work together.

Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson), the children of same-sex parents Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore), become curious about the identity of their sperm-donor dad (Mark Ruffalo) and set out to make him part of their family unit, often with hilarious results. But his arrival complicates the household dynamics, and nobody is sure how he fits in -- if at all -- in this Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning comedy.
This movie is about strained relationships. I did like it but wouldn’t consider this a “feel good comedy.” About halfway into this movie Julianne Moore’s character has an affair with the sperm donor dad. The last half of this movie deals with the fallout. Annette Bening does a fantastic and convincing job as a person who has been betrayed. I admit I would not be friends with her bossy character in real life but I did feel sorry for her and was mad at the other two characters for causing this kind of pain. There is nothing cool about betraying another person’s trust.
I have mentioned before I do have a little crush on Julianne Moore. She was Amber Waves in Boogie Nights and she does have some steamy love scenes here. She is good in the drama department but feel she is lacking in the comedy. I still like her but she is no Zach Galifianakis.
I found this film to be thought provoking. One scene has Annette Bening putting down Mark Ruffalo’s character as he is into organic gardening and leads an alternate health lifestyle. Mark Ruffalo’s character on the other hand makes fun of the Mexican gardener. It always seems we have to put someone down to make us look better in front of others. It is something I have noticed in human nature and something I really don't care for. I guess people do this when they are insecure.
I am giving this movie 3.2 stars. It is not the best movie ever but it goes by quick. In the end is really is about the kids being alright. They are tougher than they look and deal with things like everyone else, one day at a time.

No where else will you find "real" leading edge marketing technology like you will receive from Veretekk services. Traffic Portal marketing is one such innovation. People have become desensitized to the massive amount of bulk email and spam that finds it's way to their mailbox each day. After all, who cares if you have 1 million email addresses, if none of the recipients will ever read anything you send to them!
So how are Traffic Portals different? Simple - because at the heart of it, Traffic Portals allow you to offer something of real value to a prospect. This then allows for an increased level of communication between you and that prospect - setting you further and further apart from the masses of bulk email they receive. Your ability to offer more and more of these valuable services to the prospect continues to widen the gap so that eventually you develop a very strong sphere of influence.
Veretekk has developed a large flotilla of unique, valuable, web based services on a large array of subjects and domains. Each Traffic Portal is equipped with it's own set of automated advertising and marketing tools, and the leads they generate are easily managed with Veretekk's intuitive Lead Management system.
But, it is the viral nature and potential of Traffic Portals that will allow you to truly explode your business. Traffic Portals are designed so that they are not only valuable to your prospect in a direct way... they compel them to use the service in such a way that they are effetively promoting your Traffic Portals for you! Imagine 1,000s of people attracted to you through these Traffic Portals... for the direct value potential... but also for the value they perceive in actually promoting your services to other people. This allows you to turn 1,000s of prospects into promoters for you!
The quality of the leads these Traffic Portals produce is also unique. You are not sharing them with anyone else. No other solution comes close to the value, service and price Veretekk delivers. If you're serious about building a successful online business, your first priority is an Veretekk subscription. Unfair Advantage? There is nothing unfair about taking your time and doing it right. You have to experience it yourself! Give Veretekk a test drive today! It is absolutely free. No obligations whatsoever.
Veretekk was an early pioneer of search engine optimization (SEO) systems, deploying a range of tools beginning in the mid-1990's that allowed subscribers to generate massive backlinks to their webpages and quickly increase their search engine results page (SERP) rankings. Of course Google wasn't even around back then, and thus a great deal has changed in the world of SEO!
Professional SEO experts know that ultimately you can't trick the system! Black hat techniques are risky at best, and search engine spamming will get you banned more effectively than it will increase your ranking. There are a number of proven techniques (even recommended by Google itself) that true professionals are aware of and focus their activities around which will produce good results through consistent effort over time.
That said... Veretekk's Market Manager will greatly streamline your SEO efforts and amplify their effect! The system allows you to leverage the power of around 100 separate high value domains, producing massive (quality!) backlinks to help your PageRank, but also instant and effortless configuration of webpage attributes (title, meta tags, etc.) and massive link swarming tools that daisy chain your portfolio of SEO assets in an optimized way.
Search engine spiders gobble it up! Using the Market Manager, it's not unusual to obtain very high search engine rankings in a matter of hours for well selected keywords. This, the result of a sophisticated web of syndicated pages, each publishing RSS feeds that you control and have easily optimized to maximum effect for the keywords you are targeting. Blog templates allow you to further leverage the system and expand the reach of your feeds out on to as many additional websites and domains you may also own.
Plus the system is packed with other value added SEO tools. The Page Maker function allows you to establish a literally unlimited arsenal of keyword targeted pages for each of your SEO campaigns. The SEO Drill lets you systematically place thousands of keyword rich backlinks into authority site domains. Plus website redirection tools for controlling traffic flow... You won't believe the power of this system!
Veretekk 2.0 is "the social system" for professional online marketers. As such, it's designed to maximize the community experience and benefits each member receives from being part of it. Veretekk attracts business people of all backgrounds... from the work at home Mom that just started a new business to the seasoned advertising executive. That's because the power and effectiveness of the system is surpassed only by it's ease of use.
Sharing between members has a profound effect. After over 15 years in business, Veretekk has an extremely loyal worldwide customer base that benefits every new member through the wealth of knowledge, feedback, marketing tips, and advice generated by the community. The various social tools built into the community (i.e. Friends, Groups, Videos, Credentials, Walls, etc.) help to leverage the massive knowledge bank represented by Veretekk's subscribers so that each new member can soak up the valuable information at their own rate. But Veretekk is much more than an isolated community...
Veretekk allows you to manage and control ALL of you other various social systems from one place! That's because a wide range (and ever increasing) collection of features are embedded throughout the system that allows for instant publishing to your other social accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and so on. Push button publishing to all other systems allows members to use Veretekk as their central command center for all of their online marketing efforts! Whether it's direct marketing, search engine optimization, lead generation, product branding, or anything else... Veretekk's social integration technology allows you to harness the power of social networking in today's world.
Explode your business with viral growth! Beyond the direct effects of these social tools, the seamless integration with systems like Facebook allow you (and your customers) to share and spread the word about your business, promotions, products, etc. at lightening speed! Veretekk lets you take advantage of the social phenomenons occurring through advancements in systems like Facebook, but at the same time control and track everything specifically from a professional marketer's point of view!
"Evaluation" is the key to consistent improvement and results. Most people recognize that it does no good to generate thousands of leads if your inadvertently running them right off the cliff! Likewise, there's no better way to squander your marketing efforts than not occasionally stopping to evaluate what's working and what's not. Even if your overall end result is good... it can usually be a lot better if you simply make some minor adjustments to further optimize your campaign.
That's where VereTracking comes in... Long before Google Analytics, Veretekk created a very simple but effective visitor tracking bug that is inserted into all of your various traffic portals and webpages. This simple mechanism allows you to closely evaluate the results of your marketing campaigns. What worked? What didn't? Where is the real traffic coming from and what should you focus on to generate even more?
The Code Tracker system takes it a step further... and allows you to place a small snippet of code pretty much anywhere you want - your own websites, into marketing emails, etc. and funnel the statistics all back to your VereTracking system for analysis. Unlike more robust and heavier systems, the VereTracking code does not delay page load time or otherwise interrupt the functionality on your sites.
The possibilities are endless. Veretekk's web analytics technology is designed to be very simple, yet powerful. This also makes it extremely portable for use in pretty much any application you can imagine. While it's embedded as part of your Veretekk portals and websites, by using it in other systems and services outside of Veretekk you're able to manage the results of everything you do... all from one place!
Detailed statistics reveal all... Veretracking includes all of the key vital stats you need - referring page, visitor's IP address, date and time of the visit, etc... and none of the "fluff" that just gets in your way. Cut through all of the secondary factors and focus on what matters... getting more customers and growing your business!
You are NEVER alone at Veretekk! This thriving community of professional online marketers includes a never ending pool of resources that stands ready and able to assist you. Whether you have a general marketing question or something more specific, you'll find no shortage of "real people" available 24 hours and day, 7 days a week to help you out. Why? Because Veretekk is the real deal. And that attracts serious minded professionals.
Customer support is #1. That's why Veretekk offers multiple ways to get you the help you need... whenever you need it. Center stage to assist you is the Support Wall where posts are often responded to in seconds. If there are any temporary system issues, you can quickly find out all about it as well. Veretekk also offers Skype support for the same purposes.
Live web training conferences! Veretekk goes way beyond just offering customer support. There are up to 100 professional VereTrainers from around the world that offer live training for virtually every aspect of online marketing! Events are easily identified through the calendars at the bottom of this page, and even include events open to the public!
The VereConference rooms are built to impress... And based on member feedback, they do just that! Each state of the art conference room features live VoIP voice communication, text chat, whiteboard illustration, screen casting, synchronized browsing, and more... All of this, developed for the express purpose of sharing valued professional marketing information amongst members.
Members helping members... This is what really sets the Veretekk community apart from anything else online. Legitimate marketing pros know that they can expand their success by networking with other marketers, sharing techniques, and hearing about other people's results... not isolating themselves in an attempt to hold on to their "secrets". Thus unlike other simplistic systems, people come to Veretekk to share and to learn! The community support this fosters is truly unrivaled.
Veretekk is all about "Spam free" marketing. For years as other systems used a single email verification process, Veretekk went further to employ a double-opt in model that prevented 100% of false submissions from ever getting on a member's email list. Furthermore, Veretekk is the only provider of permission based email marketing services that provides the public a simple email lookup tool that lists the date/time and IP address of each submission to the system from that account... along with local and global opt-out functions to prevent abuse.
We take ethial online marketing seriously... Veretekk's terms of service include strict anti-spam requirements. No one likes receiving unsolicited email. Plus, from a marketing perspective... untargeted bulk email blasting simply doesn't work! For those looking for that type of system, we encourage you to engage in the Veretekk community and you will find out about a wide range of other techniques that no only respect people's privacy, but actually produce successful results for your business!
VereMail verification systems. There are, however, a range of applications for which bulk emailing still applies. For example, uploading an email list of your existing customers (that have already granted permission to receive your email), or simply sending out your company newsletter to people that have signed up to receive it. Veretekk provides a full featured email publishing system, including an intuitive HTML editor for designing professional email templates. Each email you send out also gets published on its own URL, which can be used for SEO campaigns or simply archive purposes.
Create your own signup forms! With Veretekk's portable group form code, you can quickly and easily place code into your own websites, allowing visitors to signup for more information, request your newsletter, etc. When they do, the verification system will email them and when they click the link, they are added to your lead database and available throughout the rest of the system for use with any of the Lead Management tools.
Experience live web conferencing! The Veretekk community is much more than blog posts and activity walls... The VereConference system allows members to come together in an even more personal and direct way. It's literally like walking into a room and meeting with other members! Full featured VoIP technology causes you to feel as if you're literally sitting across the table talking to someone. And with webcam support, streaming video lets you see them too!
The training experience... More than anything else, new members want to know "what to do" in order to start successfully using the system and growing their business. That why Veretekk has numerous professional online marketers that have volunteered to become "VereTrainers" and provide online training and workshops on a wide range of marketing topics. Whether you're a newbie that just needs some help with basic HTML for your website, or a seasoned veteran interested in hearing the latest and greatest on how socially integrated marketing can grow your business... there are training events for you!
Conference room functionality. Veretekk's web conference rooms come with a full set of functional tools to heighten the experience for everyone involved. Moderators can push webpages for attendees to see... or upload a quick screen capture for all to see, and pull up the whiteboard to draw on it and better express the talking points. Screen casting allows the moderator to literally show everyone something they are doing on their own computer... or follow along as they browse the web or perform a specific function for all to see.
Plus as a Veretekk Gold subscriber... You get your very own room! And beyond all the tools that come with it, you have the ability to fully customize the conference room itself - style, format, colors, URL of the home page, security and permissions for using video, voice, text, moderator controls, etc. All of this, just another part of the Veretekk system.
Web hosts are all the same... When it comes to web hosting... the service has become a true commodity... meaning, pretty much all web reputable hosting services are the same. There may be small differences in the options and functionality available to you based on the management software each service makes available to you... and some hosts bundle other functions like domain registration and/or simple website templates... but when it comes down to it the main difference between web hosts is just price.
VereHosting is truly unique! You get all the same domain management tools as anywhere else, but Veretekk includes a number of value added features as part of the package. For example, the ability to create webpages on 12 additional aged domains that provide a big SEO advantage! Plus highly differentiated plugins you won't find anywhere else... beyond Fantastico for WordPress blogs, phpBB forums, Drupal systems, etc. you get the integrated VerePress feed publishing system, Veretekk phpBB system, and more!
Green is the future! Veretekk's servers are housed in a completely green and secure facility. The entire company is built upon the focus of a very small footprint on this earth. Our data center is 100% off the grid running entirely on wind energy and geothermal heating and cooling. We also take security very seriously when it comes to hosting services and have developed many unique server MODs to prevent hacking and injection phishing sites. The server farm is fully secured including constant 24/7 monitoring to assure you that your websites are in good hands with Veretekk.
But perhaps the greatest benefit of all is the Veretekk community itself. Unlike any other web host, with Veretekk there is a huge community of other members that can help you with most any question related to hosting. Whether you simply need to set up a new domain, or have a more advanced question about how to make a cron script run... or get your VereBlog feed posting into your phpBB forums... there are many others that have already walked those steps and can help out. Just imagine a virtually limitless pool of resources to answer your hosting questions... and you'll begin to understand how VereHosting is different!
Veretekk created the first self-replicating eBook in the late 1990's. The technology was still in its infancy (PDF files were not even widely used by many people!) Since then, Veretekk has released a small library of professional eBooks, each containing valuable information on a range of marketing topics.
Professional topic and content. Over the years eBook titles have included Building a Better Website, Marketing Masters, Niche Marketing, Web Conferencing, Automated Marketing, Money Machine, and vPanel Hosting... just to name a few!
Viral lead generation. But what makes these eBooks "self-replicating" is the fact that each one contains your own promotional information. Thus, as your prospects download and utilize the free ebooks, each one contains tags and links that funnel them back into your own website and system. When they share the eBook with someone else, the same thing occurs and your lead database just continues to grow.
Veretekk places the power in your own hands. More recently Veretekk released the PDF Duplicator, which allows you to create your very own PDF templates that are tagged with your own promotional information. These PDFs are then available throughout the system for any purpose your choose. Whether you want to write your own eBook, or simply create marketing flyers, mail merge letters, etc., you have the ability to do so with Veretekk.
Continuing education... As time and technology march on, more and more resources are added to the Veretekk portfolio - all of which are immediately available to members. By facilitating a lead generation function, Veretekk's eBooks will always go beyond the basic goal of providing information. They can be a viral component of any marketing campaign and quickly grow your business.
