The Fountain

With Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman as the draw cards I hired this.  Its visually astounding, conceptually challenging, the cinematography is beautiful and some scenes in this are breathtaking.  Don’t hold out any hope that the extras will enlighten you as to its meaning.  It’s not explained.  Just discussed by Jackman and Weisz who clearly didn’t get it either.  Worth hiring to watch the scenery.

Badly written, acted snuff movie, creeps who like the genre should see 8mm instead, it was better.

Where to begin, the plot and the acting was terrible!  It was so boring to watch I couldn’t sit through the whole movie.  It was irritating to watch and unremarkable in every way.  Whatever the actors were paid to ‘star’ in this piece of crap, it wasn’t enough!

At last film noir a guy and his girlfriend can both watch without arguing!  A super intelligent, cool, mysterious, intriguing, thought provoking, complicated journey through a tangle web of lies where everyone is hiding something.  With great twists like a yoga guy mimicking a pretzel.
