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.

I hated, hated, HATED that movie. Even the parts that might have been pretty to look at if the script and direction (it must have been the direction--I know the totally unsympathetic wooden manequins in the lead roles are actually fairly decent actors in other contexts) had not been so unutterably horrible were just fouled by the overall offensive badness.
