LSOB Reccomends

Eternal Sunshin of the Spotless Mind
This movie is about a man named Joel (played by Jim Carrey) who is shocked to discover he is currently receiving treatment from a strange clinic to erase memories of his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet). At first he agrees to the procedure because he feels the memories are painful. However, during the process of this brain drain Joel decides he would rather retain these memories because while some are bad, some are also pleasant and as they say it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. So he plots to end the procedure while simultaneously asleep and currently undergoing it. How he does so is very interesting and I won’t give this detail away to readers to keep the film interesting. I really enjoyed this movie, the casting was perfect, people keep saying how surprised they are that Jim did not choose a more comedic role but this is not the first serious movie he has done and I was not surprised at all by how well he performed. Kate Winslet also did great in her usual whinny girlfriend role. It starts out slow, but this is necessary to build background. A good movie to watch with your boyfriend or girlfriend; if you have one. I also saw "Saved!" on Sunday. It had some good momments but quickly went down hill. More on this later.
