Momento

I really found Momento to be a great movie. Not only was it interesting and gripping, it actually had a good plot. It genuinely had me confused even at the end of the movie but I couldn't help but really want to find out the truth.

Frankly, I think Teddy was telling the truth. He may have been fishy or suspicious, but he was actually Leonard's ally the whole time yet never really betrayed him. He also gave the audience and Leonard an explanation that really tied everything together, however imperfectly. Then again, nothing's perfect.

Kiss Me Deadly, damnit!

What a terrible movie.

Christina, or whatever her name was, was hideous and she sounded like she was sexually aroused during the opening credits. What kind of impression did the director think that was going to give? Certainly not a positive one.

Her roommate was irritating. Her voice was nasal and she was annoying as hell. At least she turned evil in the end and died, but the flame "special effects" were abysmal.

Now, why did they have to kill Nick off? He was the coolest character in the entire movie. When he died, I stopped really paying attention to the movie, because there was no longer any "va va voom!" to keep me interested.

What the hell is up with a nuke in a box? If I recall, it's one explosion and then radioactive decay sets in. There's no way there is a continued source of radioactive energy, and even if there was one, it wouldn't fit inside a small, wood box. The box would be made of lead... and whoever saw it would get severe burns all over their body and get radiation sickness as their bodies slowly but surely shut down from internal damage. They wouldn't start screaming and stand there as a flame is superimposed in front of them. Honestly.

Double Indemnity!?

Double Indemnity wasn't that great of a movie, but it had a decent plot. At least it had murder, sex, and money, but there weren't enough stereotypical thugsters like the one on the left here. Therefore, it can at best be a decent movie.

Although Phyllis was a complete and utter whore, she added spunk to the movie and at least dies at the end, also causing the death of the other scumbag main character, Walter Neff.

Anyway, I can't help but wonder why film noir loves those lined shades. It doesn't really give an effect, it just distracts the viewer from who happens to be getting murdered at any given point in time. Film noir would have far more spunk if people got murdered in pitch-black rooms, so the viewer would have NO idea what the hell's going on until the movie's over. They'd be confused, but movies are usually considered good if the audience is left wondering what the hell just happened.

Groundhog's day was actually a good movie, but it made even less sense than this picture.

How is it physically possible to relive the same day over and over again? Which run-through of the day will other people remember? They would have so many recollections of the day their heads would most likely implode.
Time is linear. There is no way to slow down or speed up time, much less reverse it. There are so many logical fallacies on Groundhog's Day that it really detracts from the movie.
Also, what is preventing Phil from staying up until 6:00 am? If he does, then what? Does the universe collapse into a tiny dot of superheated matter? Does his existence split into two?
Last but not least, even if this was possible, why does he remember the day and no other people do? Memory is a physical thing, a mapped-out set of circuits in the brain. Why don't those get reversed to their previous state? Why are all the other peoples' minds wiped clean but not Phil's? Everyone else would also remember that day and are stuck in it, but Phil is the object of attention.

Case in point: What the hell?
