Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, Kurt Russell, Noah Taylor, Penelope Cruz, Tom Cruise - Director: Cameron Crowe David Aames (Tom Cruise) appears to lead a charmed life. Handsome, wealthy and charismatic, the young New York City publishing executive's freewheeling existence is enchanting, yet he seems to be missing something. Then, in one night David meets Sofia (Penelope Cruz), the girl of his dreams, but loses her by making a small mistake. Thrust unexpectedly onto a roller-coaster ride of romance, comedy, suspicion, love, sex and dreams, David finds himself on a mind-bending search for his soul and discovers the precious, ephemeral nature of true love. Director Cameron Crowe (JERRY MAGUIRE, ALMOST FAMOUS) teams up with Tom Cruise once again in an adaptation of Alejandro Amenabar's 1997 Spanish film OPEN YOUR EYES. Cruise plays David Aames, a playboy publisher leading a seemingly charmed life. His most recent playmate is his "friend" Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz), who cares for David more than he realizes. When David meets the fetching Sofia Serrano (Penélope Cruz) at his birthday party, he awakens to the possibility of what true love can feel like, leaving Julie distraught. However, after an accident that changes David's life, he is forced to rethink his choices. This psychological thriller becomes roller coaster ride of flashbacks as David tries to make sense of all that has happened, relaying some surreal experiences to a psychiatrist (Kurt Russell) after being charged with murder. The film's message may differ for each viewer, but it does make one bold point: every action has consequences.
Crowe gets exceptional performances from Cruise, Cruz, and Diaz and the alluring pop soundtrack features songs from REM, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, and Peter Gabriel. Amazingly, the scene of Cruise running through a completely empty Times Square was shot on location, a major feat in and of itself. Theatrical Release: DECEMBER 14, 2001 Vanilla Sky Reviews: "...[Featuring] strong performances....[An] effective drama..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...Mr. Cruise so dominates the film with his taut, intensely focused drive that VANILLA SKY takes on an autobiographical resonance..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...Strikingly well-made....The picture has vitality, a fine cast and excellent craft..."
-- Todd McCarthy, Variety "...Every bet as strange and creepily effective as the original..."
-- Michael Tunison, Box Office "...Crowe's version is lustrously well textured, impeccably produced....Engrossing..."

Vanilla Sky Movie Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Very well done
This movie is not for people who like simple movies. You're gonna get mind f'd. It's very hard to understand. You don't realize how good it is until you figure out the story near the end. If you liked "Donnie Darko" you'll like this one. Who comes up with this stuff?

This movie belongs to my top 5 from all times, it's certainly good and tom cruise is excellent but, the fact that it was inspired on "open your eyes" makes you hesitate about which movie deserves the applausing, it's really good though.

I came upon this movie on TV late one night,about 2 AM and it knocked me right off my heels.I've always seen parts of it here and there but not all of it or enough to find out what was going on.But I finally got a chance to see it all.....AMAZING!!!Everything about this movie was great.Like the cast for instance (particularly Penelope Cruz who really showed me something.)Another thing that baffled me was that here was a movie that featured music or references by John Coltrane and Bob Dylan!Two guys that I love and idolize in the same movie!But for the movie I can't say enough,really,I you haven't seen it, I suggest you see it.And naturally I know this film is gonna get overlooked or not receive proper credit.The media and critics have nothing but adjectives and are expected to come up with different reviews one-after-another-after-another and so on.This picture stays with me forever...one of the best....and arguably my favorite of all time.(Additional Praise:Camerawork,Music in correspondence to screenplay,Dialogue,Overall soundtrack,References Made [notably "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan"]."Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around!"

David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture--a brilliant, scathing, hysterical, and haunting ode to Hollywood. In the film, a mysterious dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) emerges from an accident with a purse full of cash and a head full of amnesia. Meanwhile, Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a wide-eyed gal from Deep River, Ontario, has just ...
