Vanilla Sky (RT 42%)

In which we learn the kind of chicken soup that Mike likes.

"I now find Cruise tolerable only when he's in a movie that undercuts or ridicules his narcissism-- as EYES WIDE SHUT did and as this movie does even more noticeably."

Jonathan Rosenbaum is not nice to Tom Cruise... but he's not wrong here. FOR THAT... you must listen to one host (Dave) as he clearly makes poor dating decision one after the other and did not learn a SINGLE THING from Cameron Crowe's masterpiece VANILLA SKY. The lessons, such as they are:

  • Cameron Diaz brings sustenance (and sex!)
  • Penelope Cruze brings cute banter
  • See which one you can survive on in the wilderness (or a desolate Times Square)

This is the single greatest film that has, or will EVER, appear on this feed. You are welcome.
