The Brothers Grimm 6/10 is a silly pantomime caper notable only for the fact that it manages to squander Matt Damon's talents which is something I haven't ever seen before;
Vanilla Sky 5/10 could be the most self important, self satisfied and self indulgent film I've ever seen. I love Tom Cruise but I fucking hate him in this and I hate Penelope Cruz as well, and Cameron Diaz and the entire rest of the cast. I can picture them all watching the rushes nodding to each other saying "yeah, we've done good work here, uh-huh, we're really onto something great guys". I DON'T CARE about their made-up privileged lives! And it's even made up in the context of the film! STREWTH!
