Memento

Rating: * * * * * Director: Christopher Nolan Running time: 113 minutes Language: English Now showing

Here's a sad but true fact of life, dear readers: We live in an era where mainstream films are made with the assumption that we're not paying attention. Hollywood films are geared toward that ADD-diagnosed pinhead in the back row, checking his mobile, scarfing down popcorn and carrying on a conversation while "watching" the flick. If that guy can't keep up to speed with the plot, goes the logic, make it dumber!
