Vanilla Sky opens with a Radiohead track; Everything in it’s Right Place. I cannot ask for more than that from a movie.
Penélope Cruz is not all that attractive, Cameron Diaz is somewhat cute but not all that special. Jason Lee is particularly good as the best friend.
Cameron Crowe selects the best possible music for the soundtracks of his movies. I might have to pick this one up. Really enjoying it so far, funny and entertaining.
It takes a little turn for the strange throughout the second act and
I like the concept of the “lucid dream” it sounds very cool. Strong shades of Total Recall showing through, that was an action movie with some great concepts, this is the same concepts given heart and soul.
Ya know, its actually quite a sweet little movie once it all falls into place with a couple of pretty touching moments and a truly good ending. It does take a little to get there and the journey might not lead where you expect it to, but in the end it is rewarding.
