Vanilla Sky:

Tom Cruise came up with a memorable performance alongwith beautiful co-stars Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz. The hand-picked soundtracks were very good, as you would expect in any Cameron Crowe movie. As for the story-content, that's the not so exciting part, things just didnt move fast and boredom sets in when the viewer tries to identify which is real and which is dream. As for story content, the ending showed Tom Cruise preferring the reality than the dream.

Dreams are exciting because once you wake up, you have to take great pains to recollect what exactly happened in the dream. And the worst part is that, after lots of thinking, your recollection will go something like this 'i just walked into the railway station... and what happened next.. i woke up from the dream'. After this starts the soul-search, why would i go to a railway station? to receive someone? to leave this town ? if so, why would i leave this town?... and a zillion other questions.... It's a pain to break-your-head about it.... so ignore your dreams(i.e what you get in sleep... daydreaming is different though )

Earlier when I had read 'Tell me why .. ' series or may 'Children's knowledge bank ' or some encyclopedia of this sort, it said that 'our dreams always come in black-and-white colours alone' i.e during dreams we cant identify any colour. Guess, it is wrong, because, during some of my dreams I was able to distinguish colours. Maybe I am conscious of this 'black and white dream funda' that.. I am always searching for colours in my dreams and happy when I notice something in colour during my dreams.

Alfie:

Good movie, inspite of an okay first half.
The narration style of Jude Law reminded me of 'The Hitch'. Guess, this narration really lifts the story.
In this movie, Jude Law is afraid of relationships and everytime he gets very close with someone, he breaks that relationship and moves on to find another one.
Unlike the other usual romantic movies, the best part of this movie is Jude Law confessing to us that he still doesnt know what is in-store for him for the rest of his life, though for a moment we will wonder .. 'what?! .. is he nuts!.. the answer is blowing through the wind... marry some women.. you are close to ..'.
