Hey everybody welcome back to another bald movie today we're going to be talking

about the 2001 movie directed by Cameron Crow called Vanilla Sky. You might recognize

Cameron Crow as the writer of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, also the writer

director of Say Anything, singles, Jerry McGuire, Almost Famous, we bought a zoo, one of his lesser known titles.

This was based on a Spanish language foreign film, Abre Los Ohos, Open Your Eyes, which also starred Penelope Cruz.

And as far as I can tell the Spanish speaking, Tom Cruise, he's a very handsome individual.

The American version stars Tom Cruz, Penelope Cruz, Kurt Russell, Jason Lee, Cameron Diaz,

Michael Shannon, a very young Michael Shannon, Tilda Swinton Alicia Witt, who Bald Move Last might recognize as the

matriarch of the Crow family and justified. Noah Taylor, which Bald

Man move, which Bald Move fans might recognize as the dastardly Bolton

lieutenant lock from Game of Thrones, and Timothy Spall, who everyone but Jim will recognize as

Peter Pettigrew slash Scabbers, the rat from Harry Potter.

I don't want to say this is going to be an odd, like spoiler free up front review because I think this movie,

the less you know about it, the less you go into the movie, the better off you will be.

And since I missed this when it was big 20 years ago I didn't know much about it and I'm glad of that.

So I think here's what I'll say.

This movie is very, not controversial, it's very polarizing.

It has about a 45% fresh on rotten tomatoes.

Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed it and thought is

thought-provoking, very well-made, very well-acted and crafted, and I'm going to

leave it at that. Jim, what's your opinion? Yeah, so the first time I saw this was maybe a couple of years after it came out on DVD.

So, almost 20 years ago, this is the second time I've seen it in 20 years and I found myself really enjoying it too. It wasn't until after I watched it this time around that I went and I looked at the reviews and it's it you're right it's polarizing and I think a lot of people can't get over the fact that this is you know you said it's based on this
