Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2004)

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004). **** out of ****
This is one of the most orginal, mind boggling movies in years (possibly the most original movie ever). Jim Carrey (the best performance of his career, by far) plays Joel Barish, a work a day loner (the kind of man who wonders "Why do I fall in love with every woman I see that shows me the least bit of attention?") who for reasons unknown skips off work and takes the train to Montauk, NY, where he meets the free spirited Clementine (the always reliable Kate Winslet, in a career best performance). After a train ride full of mini-disagreements and unwanted compliments, Clementine and Joel hit it off and end their morning with Clemintine inviting herself to spend the day at Joel's apartment. As Joel is waiting for Clemintine to pick up her toothbrush from her apartment, a young man asks him why he is there......... And that is all I will say about this brilliant movie. I will not reveal anything else about the plot because to do so will spoil the complete originality of this movie. This is one of the most orginal movies I have ever seen (on par with "Memento", "Donnie Darko" and "Being John Malkovich"). Do yourself a favour and see this movie.............just don't go in trying to predict what you're going to see
