John

Miguel:  What did you think about Vanilla Sky?

John:  I really liked it up until the ending.

Miguel:  What was wrong with that?

John:  Well, I don’t really want to spoil it for everybody else but, it wasn’t as good of a twist as I had hoped for.

Miguel:  Well, what did you like about it?

John:  I liked how it was different than a lot of other movies. The story had me on the edge of my seat. What’d you think?

Miguel:  I agree with you. The ending was suspect, but other than that, it was a fantastic movie.

Discussion

Vanilla Sky is about a man (Tom Cruise) who has everything. He meets this beautiful woman (Penelope Cruz) at his 34th Birthday party and instantly falls in love with her. His lover, (Cameron Diaz), becomes jealous and takes Cruise for a ride in her car and drives across a bridge in anger. (I won’t tell you more or I’ll ruin the story!)
Vanilla Sky is a remake of the Spanish movie Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes). Penelope Cruz stars in both movies! Have you seen the 1999 Abre los ojos? Let us know about it at Movie Madness message board.
See ya next year!
