I miss the Soviets. Remember when their villainy ruled every movie? They were cold, heartless villains who wanted to destroy our way of life because it was evil, or decadent, or whatever. They wanted to invade our country (Red Dawn) and even beat us at sports (Rocky IV), and in general were just the best movie villains since the Nazis. But then we started to realize they weren't so bad after all, just people like us trapped on the other side of a political divide. We worked with their cops (Red Heat), accepted their defectors (Moscow on the Hudson, The Hunt for Red October) and showed their sleeper agents how great America could be (Little Nikita). There's a little bit of Little Nikita in Salt, but thankfully, the sleeper agents in this movie are, by and large, totally evil douchebags. The Soviets are back, baby!

Spoiler alert! We're about to talk about the very mysterious and open-to-interpretation ending of this weekend's number-one movie, Inception! As everyone who saw it knows (and they likely cannot remove the image from their brain), Dom Cobb's metal top, which remains upright in dream worlds, had yet to fall over. Does that mean he's still in a dream world? Or was it just a really good spin? Sometimes you get a really good one, and they take a while to fall down. Well, whether he's awake or dreaming, we want to see what happens next. And even before! A prequel comic shows what happened on the Cobol Job and the cast is already hemming and hawing about a sequel, so we figured we'd come up with some of our own. Here are some ideas we'd like to plant in Christopher Nolan's head.

Positive buzz for Inception shot into the stratosphere with the very first reviews, and since then the response to the movie has been overwhelmingly good. But there's also been a small backlash against what some see as a long, confusing, ponderous film. And maybe it is long, at two and a half hours, but that's slightly shorter than director Christopher Nolan's last, The Dark Knight, and there's a lot more here to chew on. Too much to chew? Perhaps, but I'd rather have an excess than not enough, and this movie certainly gives you plenty to look at while you're chewing.

Every man wants to be Bruce Willis, but do they all want to smell like Bruce Willis? Most of his films end with him covered with sweat, grime and blood (his and others'), and we have to imagine he has a bit of a funk to him, as well. But that's probably when Willis most needs a strong cologne, so it actually kind of makes sense that he would get his own brand. The uncreatively named "Bruce Willis" supposedly smells like grapefruit and pepper, and it's gotten us thinking about what other action stars would want their colognes to smell like. Since Willis will appear alongside pretty much every action star alive today in next month's The Expendables, we thought we'd start there. With any luck, you'll be able to buy a gift set of all nine by Christmas.

Admit it -- except for all the scenes where Cameron Diaz is screaming and running around in circles, the commercials for Knight and Day make it look like a fun movie. And, except for those scenes, it is. The story has some logic holes, and the romance feels a little forced, but the action is pretty spectacular (if largely comedic), the supporting cast is fun, and Tom Cruise plays a goofy, likable character the likes of which we haven't seen since A Few Good Men. As long as you don't mind Cameron Diaz, and don't let a little couch-jumping affect your enjoyment of the Cruise, it's a fluffy, lightweight romance with a body count.

Five minutes into The A-Team, Hannibal Smith steps out of the Mexican desert and hijacks B.A. Baracus's van at gunpoint. Although strangers, the two quickly realize that they're both Airborne Rangers, and Baracus actually knows of Smith. It's a coincidence bordering on preposterousness, and it was at this point that I came to a realization: The A-Team is the guy version of Sex and the City 2. What A-Team has for guys (explosions, missions to Germany, prison terms) Sex and the City 2 has for girls (gay weddings, vacations to Abu Dhabi, brief detainment). And this totally chance meeting between two people in the middle of a desert? It's like Carrie meeting her ex-lover Aidan on the streets of Abu Dhabi. And while neither is a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, my guy genes were a little more lenient on A-Team's awfulness. What can I say, I am a prisoner of my gender.

In the world of international espionage, love can get you killed. A boyfriend or girlfriend may be nice to come home to at the end of an assignment, but if your enemies get ahold of them, you need to be able to cut your losses and forget about them, or your life -- and more importantly, your mission -- will be forfeit. Which is why it's a good idea for spies to only date spies; they know what they're in for, and they don't get taken hostage easily. In Killers, Ashton Kutcher's spy character teams up with his clueless civilian wife (Katherine Heigl) when he's targeted by assassins, and while we're not sure giving her a gun was the best idea, it made us think about some of the best and worst spy couples in film history.

In a testament to the power of superheroes (not to mention Robert Downey Jr.'s charm and Scarlett Johansson's bodysuits) Iron Man 2 came out on top for the second week in a row, preventing Robin Hood from rising to the number-one spot. Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott did all right, with $37 million, but IM2 made another $53 million, putting it over the $200 million mark and overtaking How to Train Your Dragon, which is still making money in its 8th week. Perhaps if Robin Hood had been riding a dragon, we might have had a different champion.

Apparently, everything we know about Robin Hood is wrong, or so Ridley Scott would have us believe. Sure, there are hundreds of different versions of the Robin Hood myth, and Scott himself recently directed a documentary on the myth's origins, but Scott's feature-film take introduces us to a completely different Robin, one with a different last name and a different path to folk-hero status. And you know what? I like this one better.

Many of the franchise's most passionate fans are fine leaving it as-is, but despite that, we're getting a Die Hard 5 anyway, and this time, we're going global. Which could mean anything, most likely something resembling an old, grizzled Bourne movie, and depending on when it comes out, it could be the Armageddon to the 24 movie's Deep Impact. It's superfluous, but it's not the end of the world. That doesn't mean it's not extremely easy to screw up, however (especially with the guy behind Swordfish, Hitman, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine in talks to write the script). Here's how to avoid that (besides not hiring that guy).
