Memento, an exercise in futility but so much fun!

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2002)

Waitaminute...where was I? Oh right. I was about to write about Memento.
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Unlike The Sixth Sense or The Usual Suspects this movie doesn't wrap up the ending in a nice neat package so you can sleep easy. It forces you to play the idiot while telling all your friends they have to see this great movie that's as hard to find as my third grade teacher's hairline. This movie is virtually impossible to figure out. I won't spoil it by discussing why (that's for forums) but the replay value of the movie is tremendous. Don't be an idiot and see this one by yourself. You'll go crazy trying to find someone to discuss it with causing you to think about it more than any movie deserves. I wish this wasn't an indie film. The more people trying to figure this one out the better. And directors commentary on the dvd would've been nice. But because the way this movie ends (or begins) it will definitely be talked about for years.
