A shining moment in 2000

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2002)

After a dismal year in movie that included both critically acclaimed but truly awful movies like Sexy Beast And Mulholland Drive, when I reflect on 2000 I think of Memento as a shining star. As one of the few movies that has ever kept me guessing until the end it is one of those rare movies where once the novelty of the surprise ending has worn off, you can still watch it again. The Game starring Michael Douglas has a great ending but after viewing the picture once, is the thrill still the same? No. but with Memento it is more the journey, as wonderfully confusing as it is, that makes the trip worth while. Top 3 best movies of 2000, hands down.
