Answering the previous post trivia...

Vanilla Sky, directed by Cameron Crowe, in 2001. The actor is Tom Cruise playing David Aames. I recently came across this movie again after 7 years. The first time I saw it, I hated it. Penelope Cruz doesn't act, she just murmurs demurely with a Hispanic accent, and Cruise overacts as usual. However, upon another viewing, and ignoring the mediocre acting, I found it entertaining and thought-provoking. I re-examined the ending, and have different theories as to David's "real" ending. Also, what a great soundtrack! Nancy Wilson (crowe's wife, how cool), laid some wonderful melodic tracks, and Pete Yorn has a song or two floating throughout the scenery. Yorn has this flowing voice and a mellow sound to his music that is perfect for the chic, easy urban life in which David inhabits. Anyhoo- there's some movie trivia. Gotta get back to the day. Wind gusts up to 28 mph and temps going down to 30's again...must bring in the plants off the porch!
