Surreal trip to the pinnacle of cinema-no plot details here

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2001)

Ok. So the weekend comes and all you want is a relaxing trip to the movies? This isn't your film. This new movie from Cameron Crowe, once more pairing up with Tom Cruise, provides a mind-bending image of the past/present/future (? - circle the one you find applicable!). One of the most engrossing and novel movies to come out of Hollywood with a surprisingly strong performance from Tommy boy along with the rest of the cast. The opening sequence will catch your attention and set your mind in motion for what is sometimes consuming, disturbing at times but blended with a fantastically selected soundtrack. If you are feeling a little adventurous and don't like the idea of the typical holiday season movie take a look at this - if this isn't in the mentioning come Oscar's time then I'll eat my chocolate-covered hat!!! ENJOY.
