Once in a while, a movie comes along that hits
the ingredients for success: a great story, accom
plished acting, capable direction and appropriately
spectacular special effects. But the recipe is not
complete unless the film blends these qualities into
a unified whole. Billed as the most costly cinematic
production in history, it seemed the producers
spared no expense to ensure the film’s success. But
in Hollywood, success is hardly a sure thing, regard
less of how much money is thrown at a project (see:
Waterworld). The Lord of the Rings succeeds.
Without spoiling too much of the film, the story
revolves around a mysterious “ring of power.” A
young, innocent hobbit, Frodo Baggins. is chosen
by fate to save the world from impending apoca
lypse by returning the ring to the fires that forged it.
Frodo sets out on his journey with a group of high
ly trained warriors, and together they comprise the
Fellowship of the Rings.
With the advantage of working from a brilliant
story, the entire cast delivers an excellent perform
ance. Foremost among these is Elijah Wood in the
role of the main character, Frodo. Ian McKellen,
who portrays Gandalf the Grey, a wise old wizard
who guides Frodo on his journey, turns in another

VANILLA SKY
Directed by Cameron Crowe
Starring: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz
and Cameron Diaz
Paramount Pictures
Before entering an operating room, David
Aames (Tom Cruise) sings, “What if God was
one of us?” At the end of the film, the correct
question is, "What if one of us was God?”
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine
said. Vanilla Sky is one of the top 10 films of
the year [with) mind-bending secrets no
reviewer should give away.”
Without revealing the end of the film, the
audience should be warned to prepare them
selves for a movie that will haunt them long
after they leave the theater.
Perhaps what makes the film so great is its
potential to come true. With today's rapidly
developing technology, the events Cruise is
faced with are believable, unlike most plots from
the holiday movies such as Lord of the Rings
and Harry Potter. Has anyone else been sent on
a quest to throw “the ring to bind them all” into
the fiery depths of its birth?
Vanilla Sky is based upon Alejandro
Amenabar and Mateo Gil’s 1997 film Ah re Los
Ojos, which also starred Penelope Cruz.
Cruz’s performance in Vanilla Sky is sweet
and charming, and Diaz, s portrayalastffll
lover is chilling and will leave the audirrej
ing “W hat happened to Mary ?”
Some believe this is Cruise’s best
grabbing an Oscar. Diaz has been nomw
a Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actresj
