Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Lee Eisenberg The cast members explained in interviews that the main theme of Bennett Davlin's "Memory" is the idea of seeing something through someone else's eyes, as the main character (Billy Zane) does: an otherwise benevolent person suddenly has memories of committing horrible acts. This is not a slasher movie or home invasion movie. There's the issue of what has been hidden. Parts of the movie did trick me a little bit, and I found it to be a pretty clever flick. It's not frightening or anything, but I liked how they laid everything out.OK, so we could be cynical and say that this is a totally improbable story. So what? The movie is understood to be improbable. I still say that it's a very clever plot. Above all, it's great to see Dennis Hopper (RIP) and Ann-Margret still playing such interesting roles. Worth seeing.
HumanoidOfFlesh The plot of "Memory" goes like that:When Dr.Taylor Briggs is exposed to a mysterious drug while lecturing in Brazil,he is forced to relive the dark,twisted memories of a killer. Embarking upon a lone journey to unlock the mystery of a past that is not his own,Taylor must find a killer whose horrifying work may not be over...First of all I really don't understand the rave reviews this film has on IMDb.I found "Mem-o-re" disappointing,frustrating and dull.Billy Zane does his professional best with what he is given and Ann-Margret is always interesting to watch.The story itself is silly and the film lacks suspense and gore.By the thing lurches to its woefully obvious finale,you'll be knee-deep into snoozeville.I suggest avoiding this one.5 out of 10.
mumblogger111 Got to see the movie b/c the director use to date my cousin. Even though that relationship didn't turn out well, the movie was still pretty damn good! I'm a big fan of Battlestar Galatica, and Trish Helfer is smoking hot! I'd been a big fan of her's since her Maxim spread, and YOU KNOW I bought last month's playboy too. Only knock is that for some stupid reason, she dies her hair jet black for this movie, but she's still smoking hot! And there's a strip poker scene too! So the movie starts out kind of crazy like a TV medical drama or csi or something. Some kid gets coked up on mysterious amazonian powder, turns him all red and crap, then ends up half dead in a hospital in Brazil. Then freaking Cal from Titanic shows up, Billy Zane, although his character's name is Taylor. So Cal/Taylor/Billy is a medical research dude trying to cure Parkinson's or whatever the name of that disease that kills little old ladies and presidents. He just happens to be in town for a swinging convention of Medical researchers and is an expert on amazonian powders or something. And Taylor's sidekick is the rolling stone publisher guy from Almost Famous (which is a bad ass movie). Terry Chen.So Taylor and his partner take some powder home for testing, but Taylor is a dumb mofo and accidentally gets some on his hands then back at the hotel he has some weird drug trip on the stuff and has a flashback of a serial killer. There's a really cool scene where Taylors' hotel bathroom explodes with water.OK, flash-forward to Six the sex robot; Trish Helfer's character meets Taylor when he goes back to Boston and attends an art show (evidently that's where the hot maxim chicks hang out). Eventually she becomes Taylor's hot sex robot too.Taylor keeps having these drug trips; sees serial killer; and then realizes it could be one of his parents; one of his parents memories; but his mom is in a coma or something and his dad is dead; so he doesn't know which one is a serial killer.Taylor investigates; Trish Six Helfer helps (actually is kind part of the serial killer's life); and in the end it all turns out to be some screwed up twisted discovery about Taylor's true identity. I mean that in a good way; a cool way! So if this flick ever sees a movie screen, I'd definitely recommend it. In fact, my cousin was probably pretty stupid from dumping the director guy b/c he'll probably be pretty rich. (I'm also betting she wrote the bad!bad!bad! review too.)peace... mumblogger111.
baz-ish Reading the various posts regarding this film, I have to offer my apologies to the young actors who appeared in it, given that I cannot find any redeeming qualities within it. Its a shame that any aspiring young actor would eagerly anticipate the release of this film, even if they are part of the cast ........Anyway, I guess I was put off this film early on, by the line of dialogue which stated the natives had been around for 2 million years ! Oh, and Dennis Hopper had been wearing the same training shoes since 1971, and .......... & etc.So there are a few actors whose names you will recognise, certainly, thats where the budget was spent, yet sadly there is no evidence of value for money.But please do try and watch this film, they clearly need the money for a better production crew, and besides, any film you watch after this will seem superb.
