New Review Up: The Fountain

[urbpan]

In this installment of Solylent Screen, I endured The Fountain, a piece of New Age claptrap about mortality and spirituality, starring Hugh Jackman as a successful conquistador, cancer researcher, and soap-bubble dwelling space Buddhist. If you liked and/or understood this attractive yet incomprehensible heiroglyph of a movie, please tell me wtf and/or why.

saying that you don't like a movie shouldn't be insulting toward someone who did - it's not like any of us made the movie.

it was pretty, and it had some interesting symbolism. i found the pretty too unmixed for enjoyment, and the symbolist too blatant. but the two leads were smoking hot, so i spent the second half of the movie admiring their looks ;-)
