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.

you're right. the movie really seemed like it should be good, and i wanted it to be good, but it was billed as intelligent, and it really wasn't. it was pretty and had a lot of blatant symbolism, which grated on me.

i liked live free or die hard a lot, however. i wonder if the fountain fans liked die hard?
