Ahhhh "Memento"!
I LOVE that movie. I've seen it YEARS ago, so i dont remember it in such detail as you do,
zebu, as you've just seen it, but .... for what I remember this is how i understood the movie: It was all one BIG illusion. Our guy (Leonard) actually killed his wife, who was suffering from diabetes (or more like he was the one giving her the shots, but she still dies) ... this is why he keeps telling the Sammy Jankis story - I believe there is no Sammy Jankis, he made it up, so that he can justify what he is doing - which is: went nuts, made up the whole thing, and went for vengeance! Or more like HE is Sammy. All those other people tying to 'help' him, those are societies nasties, trying to take advantage of a guy who is 'sick'. You can see in the end (which in that movie is the chronological begining) that Leonard writes down the guy with the glasses license plate, and later in the tattoo place (or something like that) decides THIS IS THE KILLERS license plate
Anyways, it is a movie WORTH watching, and worth watching TWICE (so that you cantch all those little things). Actually me and my friend from school had an idea right after seeing the movie, to try to download it and cut the episodes in movie editing program and arrange then properly to watch the story unfold regularly, instead of backwards... never did it!

Seen Closer, BJ2, and Oceans12 ... ummm, all are ok, but nothing more. Like both BJ2 and Oceans11 better than the second ones.
Last movie I saw (excluding the second part of Serendipity we caught on TV last night) was "The Cuckoo":

I would definatelly recommend it, I laughed hard while watching it. Besides it is not often you get to hear Russian, Finnish, and Lapp language spoken simultaneously, as each of the 3 characters speaks in their native language and none of them speak any other languages. WAtching them inneract like that is nice and funny. I give it an 8 out of 10
