Memento Reviews: An Amazing Movie  2008-08-13 - I bought this DVD because I am a CSI/GSR fanatic. I run the GSRForeverLove wiki and tend to collect anything I can get with Jorja Fox or William Petersen. So, I had to own this film, boy I am glad I do.
The film is a hard one to 'get' the first time around, and I am not even going to get into the plot, except to say, it's original. I was enthralled from the start. Guy Pierce is amazing and delivers an outstanding performance. Nothing new there, I've seen him in other films.
My main reason for buying this was Jorja Fox, and even though her time in the film is short, she leaves a great impression, and the film is all about her.
I recomend this to any mystery fan, and to each CSI/GSR/Sara fan. It's a must own for film fans as well.
Great, Riveting, Spell-binding  2008-08-10 - Film noir taken in the sci fi genre maximum. Reminescent of Philip K Dick. A dark, disturbing mystery suspense film that once the story takes hold, leaves one panting for the truth...the narrator is unreliable, but as the hero we are rooting for him, and believe ultimately that he will take us to the truth...Remember Sam Jenkins!
Good non-formulaic thriller  2008-08-03 - Hard to explain the plot of this movie without revealing spoilers, so I'll just say Memento is definitely worth a view, maybe two. I do not watch a lot of mainstream movies, mostly because I don't feel like distilling the small amount of good material from the enormous volume of waste that is released into the theaters. But Memento was a terrific exception to the rule, and the filmmakers didn't even have to use special effects as a crutch since the story was compelling.
Astounding movie!  2008-07-26 - I first saw this movie at the theater when it caem out back in 2001 and I was astounded by it's creativity, and I couldn't wait till it came available on video so that I could watch it as many times as I wanted, and believe me I've seen it a lot. But there were still some things that I just seemed to be missing, but now that I've got the DVD showing the movie in it's chronological order, it now makes so much more sense to me. Ever since getting the new release I've researched the movie deeply and the amount of things that I've found that goes way past the end is staggering but interesting. If any one is interested in e-mailing me to further discuss this astounding movie, please feel free.
Momento  2008-07-12 - Momento is a mindbending thriller which follows its protagonist, played by Guy Pierce, from the end of his journey back through time to its beginning. In the film, Guy Pierce has a rare condition in which he has no short-term memory. This handicap makes everything harder, as he has to take polariod pictures of people he meets and writes notes upon them to remember something about that person. He is on a mission though, looking for the elusive John G. that raped and murdured his wife, and gave him his condition. When he finds John G. he is going to make him suffer just as he has suffered. Without ever lowering its sharp intensity, Momento comes to a close with not only a satisfying, but an all to poignant end.
