Vanilla Sky (2001)
Hey I liked it
I enjoyed it, especially the performances and music. I'm a fan of movies that play with reality and fantasy (dreams) so this was right up my alley. However, I can understand some of the other comments--this film is a bit of a mixed bag, a little too long, and not for all tastes.
Any rock music fan should enjoy the soundtrack. Lots of good stuff old and new. Many striking scenes to go with the music. Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" is one of my favorites. Unfortunately the dialogue obscured most of the lyrics (granted, they didn't have much to do with the plot, but as a fan I wanted to hear the song).
This may be a SPOILER but the film reminded me of "Total Recall" and "Dark City"--the sci fi elements were perhaps a little unwelcome. How much you can "buy" this plot development probably correlates to your overall enjoyment of the film.
How to Make a Monster (2001)
A Poor Effort
This is just a bad low-budget would-be horror film. I felt sorry for Clea Duvall and the others involved. Lame predictable plot. Laughable when it tries to get serious with its morale at the end. If you liked this you'll love Hardware (1990) with Dylan McDermott fighting a similar looking cyborg monster.
