Not entertainment in my book!

Rating: 1/10 (16 February 2002)

I suppose there are two kinds of movie watchers. Those that watch to be entertained, to see good photography and to feel really good at the end of the experience. That's me.
Then there are those that do not like the trite, formula movies I love, but rather enjoy being jerked around with something violent, morose, moralistic but above all - different. That definitely includes all critics and apparently most voters on this site. If you fit this latter description Memento is a must.
If you want entertainment, then skip this for sure. I am glad I got a 2 for 1 at BB Video so I did not waste any money on this drivel. Yeh, yeh -- I know it was different, novel, and ground breaking. But for me the ground it broke was the grave I toss it in. If they ever compile a movie of segments of recently acclaimed downer films like this (and many others), it sure should not be called "That's Entertainment X."
