Vanilla Sky
Release Date: December 14, 2001
Starring: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz
Directed by: Cameron Crowe

Is anyone else interested in seeing this Erotic Thriller? I wasn't interested until I started seeing more previews and realised the Cameron Diaz is in the movie. I will probably see this after, "Lord Of The Rings".

Frodo Lives!

I think this movie looks pretty good from the previews. I wasn't too happy with Tom Cruise's last erotic movie. (Eyes Wide Shut) I actually think this movie is the worst I've ever seen.

Yeah, I'd like to see this one when it comes out. I've seen the previews and it does look like it'll be a good movie. I just hope that it's not like some other movies that I've seen where the previews turn out to BE the whole movie. :eek:

The previews did look pretty interesting. I will probably wait for the video release though.

I'm planning on seeing it! It looks pretty good! I too, hated Eyes Wide Shut! *blech*

Speaking of looking pretty good....I found Mystie! :D

I think I'm gonna wait for video on this movie.

Hello Nolan! *smooch* Why wait for video?

I can't wait to see this! Not sure if I can sit through a crowded movie theater. I may wait for it to come out on vidoe. :)

Yeah, it's being previewed all over the tv here. Might be alright, but as TopCat said, watching out for the crowds might be an idea! Nothing worse than people being noisy through a movie, especially a thriller!

The latest previews to VS look very intriguing. When the promos first started running, I couldn't figure out what the movie was supposed to be about, exactly. I still don't know what the movie's about, but I am intrigued enough to go see the movie and find out.

LOL Sarg, I know exactly what you're talking about! I've been burned by the lure of a trailer before and realizing that was the best thing about the movie!
I've become a bit more choosy in my cinema outings.

Is it just me or does this movie come a bit close to his personal life? In the previews I see him with one women.. who he is suppose to be in love with, untill Penelape (sp?) Cruz catches his eye. Isn't she the one that he is dating now? Did him and NIcole get a divorce when he was making this movie?

Hey, Mystie! *smoochers right back*

Well, Penelope Cruz's accent bugs the hell out of me & she ain't all that. Plus, I hate movies (like "Proof of Life") that I know the stars hooked up on the set, usually leaving a jilted spouse. Just a hang up, I guess. :rolleyes:

...Oh & BTW, Trixter, Frodo not only lives, he kicks ass! :D

I kinda did want to see it, but didn't say so to my boyfriend because I had the feeling that he didn't want to see it. Then he found out who directed it, and now he wants to see it. Does anyone else do that? Go to a movie based on the director or the main star rather than the movie itself?

I wanted to see K-Pax which didn't do well just because of Kevin Spacey. We wound up not seeing it though.

I think we're going to the movies on Friday to see Vanilla Sky. I guess we'll all give our reviews afterwards?? :)

One more thing I forgot to say...

Now on the commercials, it says something about not ruining the suprise twist(s) in the movie-that the reviewers shouldn't ruin it for the people who haven't seen it yet. Talk about hype!! They're making this out to be another Sixth Sense. We'll see, I guess!

Greenfreak, I do that all the time! For example, I almost see anything Tim Burton directs regardless of the theme or who is starring in it. I know I'm going to be entertained regardless.

I've done that too with stars. Usually if Brendan Fraiser, Winona Ryder, or Adam Sandler is in it I want to see it.

I forgot about Winona Ryder. I go and see anything with her in it!!! Wow, Stacy, I can't believe I forot her, thanks for the kick in the head!!! :)

Oh, and I forgot to add Johnny Depp!

Saw it last night...

welll....

Hmmm...

I'm still a little confused. It's definately not a 'feel good' type of movie. You walk away feeling uneasy, which is most likely the whole point. Thoroughly confusing throughout most of the movie with flashbacks and flashforwards.

In retrospect, I think it was good, but that it will most likely be trashed like Magnolia was because it's not what people were expecting. It plays with your mind and your emotions, but mostly your mind. Preliminary user reviews on www.imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com) are less than good. I hope they made alot of money last night because I don't think they're going to make much after the buzz gets out.

I have to admit, I liked Almost Famous (another Cameron Crowe movie) much more than this. But that was a typical type of movie. Call me fickle-I like going away from a movie satisfied. *shrugs shoulders*

I probably will see this movie anyway. But now I think I'll wait until it is available at my local Blockbuster Video. :p

I LOVED this movie!! I thought it was so creative! I didn't find it confusing. :) It was completly different from the norm! That made it great! :) I went away satisfied! ;)

Almost Famous was more of a "cute" type of movie. I like it, but not nearly as much as Vanilla Sky.

TopCat, you mean you followed the movie from beginning to end, not wondering what was going on, what was real and what wasn't? That's what I was referring to. I don't want to ask specific questions because I don't want to ruin it for anyone. Different, definately. Did you know it was a remake and that Penelope Cruz played the same part in both of them? I thought that was kinda cool.

I don't want to ruin it either! ;) Yep, I followed it. There were some lose ends but they came together at the end. :)

Remake? COOL! Who orginally did it?

I go to the Internet Movie Database for everything about movies (www.imdb.com) and found this: Abre Los Ojos (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0125659) which is the original. I believe it translates to 'Open your Eyes' which makes sense.

Ironically enough, the advertisement for that movie is mainly a picture of Penelope Cruz. On the remake, it's of Tom Cruise. Just goes to show ya, it's not who the star is, it's who's the prettiest! ;)
