Memento doesn’t start at the beginning of the story like most films. This movie starts somewhere around the last scene of the film. This is because the main character, Leonard, has a problem with short-term memory. Leonard played by Guy Pearce, lost the capability of making new memories after an accident that occurred when his home was robbed.

Leonard takes pictures and tattoos his body to save his new memories. The story moves to the beginning to explain everything that is happening to Leonard. He finds himself in many strange situations that he has no idea of how he got there.

This is a movie that must be watched closely to understand everything that is happening to Leonard. It is easy to watch this movie closely because it is exciting. Almost every person that I have talked to has either loved the movie or hated it. It is worth watching the movie for the surprise ending, which is also the beginning of the story. Have fun watching this different film.

The World’s Fastest Indian is based on a true story about a land-speed record. This movie is based on the motorcycle land-speed world record holder Burt Munro who is played by Anthony Hopkins. Burt is a New Zealand man that travels to the United States to prove his 1921 Indian motorcycle is the fastest in the world. He spends about forty years modifying his motorcycle for best performance. He is finally able to save enough money to visit the United States to prove the speed of his motorcycle. As he travels to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats, he proves that he is still a ladies man in his old age. He eventually makes his way to the flats to find trouble regarding his entry into Speed Week.

This is a cute movie that most of the family can watch together. It is PG-13 for some different references. I think this is a good movie for anyone to see. It has many funny parts and is interesting. Burt Munro led and exciting life that is very entertaining.

During the summer there are some big movies coming out that people will be waiting to see. This summer there will be a large number of sequels to be released. I am looking forward to some of these sequels. I will also be looking forward to seeing a few of the new movies.

The sequel I am looking forward to most is Clerks II. This is the sequel to Kevin Smith’s low budget independent film Clerks. Clerks has had a huge following. The movie had a cartoon made based on it a few years later. This 1994 movie was an amazing comedy. I will be waiting for Clerks II to be released on August 18 2006.
Another sequel I will be waiting for is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It should be released in early July. The third Mission Impossible movie will be released in May. This is not one that I am excited about, but I am sure there are many that will be.

Gene Hackman played Reverend Frank Scott in the 1972 movie, The Poseidon Adventure. This is a classic adventure movie. The movie starts with a large group of people traveling on a luxury ship. Soon the captain, Leslie Nielson, receives a call about an earthquake in the area the ship is sailing. The passengers are celebrating New Year’s Eve when a huge wave hits capsizing the ship. This leaves the passengers with two choices. Some of the passengers stay where they are waiting for help while others try to make their way to the engine room to save themselves. Reverend Frank Scott leads the small group on its search for the engine room.

Poseidon is the remake of the classic film. Poseidon will be released on May 12, 2006. The new version of the film will star many big actors. Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas and Richarch Dreyfuss are a few of the faces that will be seen in the film. I will be looking forward to seeing this new version of the film. The original had a great cast and so does the new version. I really enjoyed The Poseidon Adventure and I hope Poseidon will be as good.
