I saw The Cell yesterday. I DID NOT see it for Jennifer Lopez. I saw it because I heard it was about psychology. *evil grin*

Anyway, though there are others who were hugely dissatisfied with the movie, I beg to differ. The movie had a powerful story, O.K. performance, amazing imagery and best of all, a robust two-way client server demonstration. [non-techies, /ignore]

Jenny was cute in the movie, I liked her eyes; I had never noticed her eyes in all the music videos of her that I had seen before for two obvious reasons, these videos keep zooming and moving about crazily, for starts, and secondly, well...it's kinda obvious.

So she plays this shrink who is working with a little catatonic boy and the method she is using has to show some sign of success in 6 months or lose funds, kinda like Contact..... [why, oh, why, are all radical procedures so cash-strapped?]

....and Bingo! A psycho who likes to drown his female victims and then turn them into dolls is captured, but his brain has shut down because of some viral infection that had caused him to be this monster. But wait a minute, he still has a victim and unless Jenny can extract the info from his mind, she is going to die by an intricate automated system that turns the cage that she is captured like a rat in into a watery grave.

The film unfolds as Jenny and the cool dude from FBI get into the psycho's mind and retrieve the location of the girl. But Jenny sees the child in the psycho, who is terrorised by the demon that drove him to kill all these women, and throwing all caution to the winds, saves the child in an emotionally charged and dramatic climax. [Women do have a weak spot for kids, don't they? Even if they aren't real!]

All in all, I liked the movie. Incidentally, some of the people who condemned the movie comdemn The Matrix as well. Draw your own conclusions.

Ok, ok, I did see it for Jennifer Lopez...but now I see her in a different light. I'll end it here, going any further may result in me getting the FIMS. [Foot In Mouth Syndrome]
