Dusan Petrovic I just love Penelope Cruz ( Serbian Emina Jahović from Novi Pazar, Kosovo and cousin sister of Turkey basketball player and the NBA Superstar in "Kings" where he'd been playing with legendary Serbian Basketball player Vlade Divac "The Lakers". For those who don't know who Emina Jahović is, I can only say that she is supermodel and famous singer in Bosna and Hercegovina and Republika Srpska ( West side of the border with Serbia across the river Drina. Btw, it's the name of Robert De Niro's daughter, who was given that name, because her father was so much impressed with SFR Yugoslavia. Exceally, he was driving a bicycle when he visited Neapolis-Niš, about 52 years ago. That's one of Serbian most beautiful cities at the South nearby The Kosovo and Metohija ). This movie is the original version of The Vanilla Sky ( Tom Cruise ).
M MALIK a man who's face just got damaged tells a story & i have to listen to it the whole time.i expected some action in this film but there is none some crazy stuff happens in the climax.i know people still buy Penelope Cruz DVD's most of her films are weird or sexual soft porn.believe me people are suckers for movies like this but no me some people have huge library of discs i hardly have 400 discs most of them are mix genres & TV shows but lets jut put this aside what is the point of this film.the acting is pure bad & camera work is bad.let me tell you something leave open your eyes alone & buy some tom cruise films collection including vanilla sky & you might enjoy the acting.because the lead actor in this film was drunk.this came out in 1997 & looks quite dated for its time i mean it fails to hold the attention & keep the viewer exited for long.my rating for Open Your Eyes 1997 is 3/10.thumbs up for Penelope Cruz sexiness
JamesHunt007-MI One of the best movies that I have ever seen in my life even though I have watched lots of movies. This movie touches your heart so much that you get yourself involved with each and every character.Acting is superb especially from Penelope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega.The soundtrack and the background score of the movie is so excellent that it can bring tears from your eyes. There are so many scenes that are memorable especially the picture drawing scene between Penelope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega. Penelope Cruz looks so pretty and especially her smile and the way she smiles and the way she laughs is so beautiful. I think no other actress in the world does have that kind of innocent smile. She looks so beautiful in this movie. Guys like me will easily fall for her, no doubt.The twist at the end of the movie is so brilliant with its background score is superb that I have to consider this one of the best endings in the cinematic history.Direction is brilliant, screenplay is top-notch, cinematography is excellent.One surprising thing is that it does not have any heavy set-pieces, lacks action that is only at the lobby of the Life extension building, a car crash and a few gunshots even though its a science fiction movie.Kudos to Alejandro Amenábar for having directing such a beautiful movie movie.
Nuno Duarte Open Your Eyes, by Alejandro Amenábar. César (Eduardo Noriega) and Pelayo (Fele Martínez) are a couple of friends. In Madrid, it's César's birthday and Pelayo takes Sofia (Penélope Cruz) to his party. While Pelayo claims to lose all the girls to César as the normal guy he believes to be when near him, César is a rich good looking fellow with everything going perfect with his life. Back in his party, César is trying to get rid of a girl, Núria (Najwa Nimri), who he has been dating. He goes requests Sofia's help with that, upsetting Pelayo. Sofía goes home with César and although nothing happened, it's visible that César fell in love with her. In the following morning, Núria was waiting for him downstairs Sofía's and convinced César to go home with her. On their way, Núria crashes her car whit both in it, on propose. After that the plot is a big mess believe me it's impossible to describe using just words. The most important is that we easily perceive, somewhere in the middle of the movie that César suffers some sort of mental disease, but while the end is approaching, we start doubting it. I don't know about the end (please skip until next paragraph if you haven't watched the movie yet), but as I was saying, the end leaves arguments to a lot of different interpretations. I see most of the people agree on the opinion that the whole thing following the night he got drunk was a dream, but I personally believe that he was mentally insane and the whole EL thing was created in his mind in order to explain everything he went through. Anyway, I kind of think the end wasn't good enough for this movie, thats went in very good manner. Another pearl coming from two great actresses, Penélope and Najwa, perhaps the best female duo from Spain, though only the first one achieved international success. It's a shame this sort of movies don't get the same projection as the American. 8/10
