Vanilla Sky

Other than feeling guilty over not seeing the foreign (Open Your Eyes) original, first, I have to say that elements were fantastic (creepy) in a moving manner. Wasn't too sure of the final plot twist. Would have preferred a psychological angle (a la Jacobs Ladder) rather than a technological one. Paul didn't agree, and cited Fight Club as an example of a weak psycholigical twist undermining an otherwise good film. But then again, he saw Open Your Eyes before seeing Vanilla Sky.
