I actually liked it.

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2010)

Tom Cruise returns in Cameron Crowe's Vanilla sky. I've been hearing about this movie for years. But nothing about it has been good. Vanilla sky reunites Tom Cruise with director Cameron Crowe, who did Jerry Maguire, a film that is far better and Crowe did Almost famous, which is his best film to date.
Everyone hates this movie. Except me. I actually kind of liked it. It was confusing, but interesting, and trippy, and well acted. Though lots of things are left out of explanation, I still kind of liked it. But coming from Cameron Crowe, it is kind of a disappointment.
Tom Cruise does well as a publishing tycoon who thinks he has it all. Until he meets Sophia(played by Penelope Cruz). The two begin to see each other. But things go out of control after Jane(played excellently by Cameron Diaz),a jealous former lover, get in a car accident. From here on, the plot gets harder to explain.
I can't really describe this film. It's beyond words. It has it's flaws. For one thing, things are explained, but not well enough. Two: some of it doesn't make sense. Three: The film goes off the rails. But I am still recommending it.
Why? I liked how trippy it was. I liked how complex it was. The acting was good, especially from Cameron Diaz. It's highly original, But yet I can only give it a B because you aren't positive about it. You don't fully understand it at the end. I'm not positive about my rating either, but I think i'll stick with it.
Vanilla sky: B
