One helluva movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2001)

Movies ARE MADE BY people who like movies so much that they chose a career where they could make movies. Movies ARE FOR people who like movies so much that they spend unreasonable ticket prices at their multiplexes in order to see movies. If you can comprehend what I just said or... IF YOU LIKE MOVIES, you'll like Memento.
Memento is a thinking film that requires multiple viewings (I'm talking at least 20 here, people) in order to fully absorb its genius. A film noir where you can't trust anybody. Nobody! Memento is a movie like no other, which is a great thing. It's told in backwards progression so the beginning is the ending and the ending is the beginning of the movie. Trust me, it works out nicely.
Watching Guy Pearce is a blast. I also think Carrie-Anne Moss is gorgeous and does a fine job as well. The scene which involves some "f-words" on her part always gets me. Joe Pantaliano, as Teddy, has this look about him that really adds to his character. He was my favorite.
I wish I could think of some words to describe the film. Oh, I got 'em. The words are: (in alphabetical order) awesome, brilliant, cool, engrossing, fantastic, first-class, great, incredible, mezmerizing, mindblowing, oscar-calibur, superb, unbelievable, wonderful, and I wish I could think of one that starts with x, y, or z. This is one of the best films I have ever, evah seen. Not seeing it should be a crime.
Christopher Nolan and his brother Johnathan are two talented fellers. They should be given awards and/or large amounts of cash for their accomplishments.
11/10 Get a thesaurus and find some more words to praise this movie.
