Summary: Spooky and haunting
Review: Ever wondered what life would be like if you had no short term memory? Then check out this haunting movie..I will be honest the plot is not the best at times but, the movie sucks you up into it. Like some of the more alternate genre movies this one starts at the end of the movie and leads you back to the beginning in steps.. It helps you to distinguish between past and now using black and white photo and color photo both.. Sit back and enjoy this one folks..

Summary: And what about the undocumented DVD special feature?
Review: After adding my five stars to the well-written reviews above, I'd just like to point out one interesting undocumented special feature of the DVD version. After thoroughly enjoying the movie twice as presented, using the chapter select feature I watched in once more--backwards (which is, in effect, forwards)! :)

Summary: A thriller like no other
Review: The first time I saw this movie I sort of kicked myself on choosing to watch it - I just couldn't understand one single piece of it. You could try to convince yourself about a particular scene, but the next scence challenges you because the movie is presented in a way that you will understand the entire stuff if you watch it from back to front. Welcome to Memento - a different kind of a thriller. A modern epic by Chris Nolan, that you will never understand if you are watching it for the first time. This is because the scenes are in the reverse order. You'll find two people speaking in a scene as if they were absolute strangers, and in the next scene you'll find that they have known each other before, because a flashback gives you more information about their previous meeting. This movie is a thriller, and more than the plot, I loved the way it was presented. A true directorial masterpiece.

Summary: One of the most pretentious movie ever seen.
Review: Terrible, absolutely terrible. This movie is so pretetious and with so many leaking holes that only make me sick even to think about it. How those beautifully crafted tatoos in so many forms were so orderly and perfectly put on the body of this pathetic clueless person, if not just by screen printing on him? Give me a break, will you? Screen printing in reverse to provide a better understandable view in the mirror? Give me a break! 10 points less 1 Star rating.

Summary: Good Film!
Review: I think I'm the only person out of my entire sphere of friends and family that actually liked this movie. I mean I really liked it, I think its great. Pierce does a great acting job, and the film doesn't insult your intelligence, it makes you work to follow key plot points. People actually have to pay attention to what is going on, which is something that is highly unusual in "mainstream" American cinema. So if you are a fan of somewhat more difficult films you should check this one out.

Summary: .movie great a is This
Review: MR. GREEN. If your all alone and need a good movie this is it so pick it up. I was so amazed by this movie. it has a great ending. the special features aren't that great so settle for the two disc one. Joe pantiliano is awesome and is a suprise charector in the end. Guy pearce is awesome and gives a great preformence. it is really weird that Christopher nolan got no ascar for this movie it should have got atleat one. for those of you who don't know the movie plays backwards so the end of the story is at the begging and the begging of the story is at the end. Its a great movie about a man called Lenoard shelby, whos wife was killed but he lost his memory and writes himself little notes to help him on his quest to find out who killed her because he cna't remember so he'll talk to people over and over again like he never met them. This movie is cool. Hi my names Mr. Green I'm 14 and i'm going to give my review about the movie memento, i've probably told you all about the review but i can't remember if i did, I Don't remember if i even met you before, its because i have this condition...anyway i'm righting the review backwards to show you what the movie's like.

Summary: Do you trust your Mind?
Review: This movie is so original that begins in the end and ends in the beginning. But this does have a reason. The main character, Leonard, has a memory problem since his wife was killed being in their home, he knows who he is, and remembers everything before that incident, but since then, he can't make new memories. He will forget what is happening right now in just few minutes. He won't remember events, people, conversations, places, nothing. However, he remembers the murder of his wife and he wants to take revenge. He decided to investigate, not an easy task in his condition. He needs to write everything down, takes pictures and tattoos important facts on his body. Since the movie is going backwards, you can feel the frustration of Leonard about not knowing what happened before. You will know how the story ends but you will discover new things as the movie goes on until the end of it (the beginning of the story), only then you will understand the end of the story (the beginning of the movie). Confused? Well, Memento is also a little confusing. I admit I had to watch it twice to understand it completely, but such a great film deserves to be watched. Do it too.

Summary: Unique and perplexing crime drama.
Review: "Memento" is one of my favorite "hidden gems" of 2001, and similar to movies like "Fight Club", "The Usual Suspects", and "Dark City", it stands out as one of the most unique. Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a man on a mission to find and punish those responsible for the murder of his wife. The problem is that after the murder, he is shocked into a state of short-term amnesia, meaning that his memory is very short term. He meets people, does things, and has encounters that he forgets almost minutes later. To counteract this condition, he covers his body in tatoos, notes, and carries a file full of information that he cannot afford to forget. Who are his friends? His enemies? It is a struggle to make that distinction. What is most interesting about "Memento" is the style in which it was filmed. Rather than starting from the beginning and moving to the end, "Memento" is shown in reverse. The movie starts at the ending, and moves backwards to show how things got to this point. The experience one gets from watching "Memento" is similar to what Shelby experiences in the movie. A surreal trip, which leaves you dumbfounded at the end. The acting in "Memento" is first rate. Guy Pearce is a very reliable and versatile actor, and this is his best role since "LA Confidential". Support comes from two very talented actors, Joe Pantoliano and Carrie-Anne Moss (both of "The Matrix"). Joe Pantoliano, oddly enough, further pushes his trademark. I won't spoil what it is (it would kill the plot), but think of what happens to him in the end of "Memento", and rent his other movies and see how they end up for him. Where the movie really stands out is the direction, which is a fresh approach on a very old concept (one man's revenge caper). A lot of my friends didn't like "Memento", most likely for the reasons listed above. They were confused, and didn't like the way the movie repeated itself (remember, it moves backwards). True, you must pay attention while watching, otherwise you will get lost. But I encourage you to watch "Memento" with an open mind, it is a very rewarding experience.

Summary: Multiple Viewings Required
Review: Christopher Nolan's impressive follow up to his Indie film Following, Memento is a mindbending film with a twist... you see the ending first, then slowly work your way back to the beginning. I have no problem admitting that this movie messed with my head. The main reason that I rented it the first time was because I am a big Guy Pearce fan, and I would have been happy just to see how much depth his acting ability has.. But by the time the opening credits were over, and you slowly watched a polaroid "undevelop" (turn from a picture to a white fuzz), I knew that I was in for more than I bargained for. Never have I seen a movie that manipulated my feelings more, especially about the characters. When you first meet Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss, you are given one impression of them, which you figure is the right one (because you've already seen the movie end). However, as the movie progressed, I found my opinions changing completely, until who I thought they were turned out to be completely wrong. With a fast paced and intelligent script, and great performances by all of the leads, this is definetly the mindbender of the year. This is the movie you watch if you enjoyed Fight Club, and want to reach the hallowed "next level" of plot twists and character development.
