Vanilla Sky

Okay...onto my second movie for today (just watched Blow this morning) and am surprised how good Vanilla Sky is. I guess it came out when I was in Japan and I got it confused with Days of Thunder. Therefore, I thought it was a movie with Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz and fast cars....not quite.

Anyway, half way through. According to one reviewer on IMDB, "I for one really like this movie for some reasons I'll go into later but I want to touch on why I think people don't like it. First off, there are people out there who just like to hate Tom Cruise. I don't understand it really. Second, Cameron Crowe I think successfully p***es off two groups of movie-goers with this film. The casual, relaxed, "not looking to think too hard" group of movie-goers are left confused when the plot takes a complete 180 at the end of the movie. And the deep, philosophical, mystery-fans are devastated when Crowe has one of his characters completely explain the mystery."

I am interested to see which type I am today : ) I think a little of both.
