No matter how great a movie comes out in 2001, it will not be better than Memento

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2001)

Memento is the first truly original film since 1999's Fight Club. It's the kind of 'mind-trippn'' (I call it) movie that really makes you think during it's whole running time. In brief, it follows the story of a man (Guy Pearce) who only wants to avenge his wife's murder and rape. The catch? He has short term memory loss, which means he cannot make any new memories of anything after 15 minutes, so he lives in fifteen minute segments, the only thing he has got is a polaroid camera, notes and tattoos of things to follow, in order to find the killer. The film poses many questions, and, trust me, if I tell you any more about it, the movie won't be as great as a first-time viewing.
There really isn't much else to say - except that the film is filmed very differently than your average picture.
Once again, all I have to say that this is one helluva film. Better than Pearl Harbor even.
Just go. now. to the theater.
