Who wants to take a psychiatric evaluation on their TV screen, Not Me.
The movie rocks. It's thought provoking, ground-breaking and unconventional. I give it 5 stars.

It's too bad that they took this same approach to the grossly misguided DVD menu design. The menus play out like a psychiatric evaluation with multiple choice answers that have nothing to do with anything, especially when all you want to do is get to the movie and supplementary material. Who wants to go through a frustrating process seemingly on an unending loop just to get to the movie and unlocking other DVD features? I was not amused. I hated this DVD treatment.

A TAUT MASTERPIECE OF SUSPENSE
"Memento" is a masterpiece of suspense. I highly recommend this film to all viewers. Guy Pearce portrays [Leonard Shelby] a former insurance agent who is trying to track down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The problem is that Leonard has short-term memory loss due to a blow to his head when his wife was attacked.

Therefore, as a result, the character Leonard Shelby does not have the capability to remember anything within the last 10 minutes. Whenever Leonard has a conversion or reads something, he must write it down, or tape it or he will forget. To do this he resorts to photographing people he meets, and tattooing his body in order for him to remember the most important information which he feels will help him find his wife's killer.

The interesting part of this film is that it begins at the end and then proceeds backwards in reverse chronological order. Joe Pantoliano portrays the character [Teddy]. And where Teddy's loyalties lie leave the viewer in suspense. The entire movie is a masterpiece in script-writing, and it is thoroughly worth the watch. I highly recommend this movie to all viewers.

I'm going out of my mind.
I watched this mindbender in a movie theatre, thought it was innovative. Made me think actively during the viewing about how innovative the whole thing was. Afterwards I tried to deconstruct the movie in my head playing all the color scenes forward in chronological order beginning at the end of the black and white scenes that were in fact in order to see if the movie still would be interesting. I actually sat down and thought about this movie for a really long time. Now that is an indicator of a good movie.

Okay, so when the DVD came out I was thrown off by the gimmicky and grossly miscalculated attempt at taking the same "cool" and "innovative" constructs towards the menu design of this DVD. I was not amused. I just wanted to get to the flippin' movie. Luckily an insert card told me to select "watch" to view it. The other problem, and someone please enlighten me, how do you get to the director's commentary. On the second disc, how do you get to all the additive supplements? I have no time to walk through the psychological test. Who wants to read and do a psychological test on a TV screen in order to unlock the DVD features. I hate this DVD treatment. This sucks. THat's why I give it a 3, or else I'd give it a 5.
