Super Cool Flick

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2001)

Memento is only the latest example of an excellent movie with NO budget. Unless you think renting a Jaguar car is big budget. This movie looks great & also looks like it had no money to work with. Guy Pierce should definitely get an Oscar nomination - but then so should have Jamie Bell for Billy Eliott. Carrie Moss who exhibited no acting ability in the Matrix and very little in the Sigourney Weaver role in Red Planet - finally gets a chance to prove herself. This movie is a spell binder & definitely one you can't see just once. It's a keeper in an age of movies where expensive junk like The Grinch & A.I. dominate the cineplexes. Thank God it's finally made it's way into the multiplexes.
