Title: The Fountain (movie)
Post by: Aske on July 16, 2007, 03:58:16 PM
i know i posted about this before,  .... anyone else besides me and sal end up seeing this yet ?


visually stunning, heartfelt performances, and mind-jarringinly complex.  watching it now a 2nd time, it is really hard to not feel bad for how weisz and jackman were totally robbed at the 'awards' crapola.

Haven't watched a movie since March.  But I would like to see this one some day.

Watched it this afternoon. Had I not already known it was an Aranofsky film, it wouldn't have been hard to guess. I'll agree with Aske insofar as it is visually brilliant, and very well acted. I found the story to be better than average, but not genius. One of the better movies I've seen as of late, but not one I'd watch over and over. 3 stars.

I'll add it to the Blockbuster queue.  I haven't been following the 'Aske movie reviews' so this is your opportunity to impress me.  I'm tough to impress too  [sm_devil] ;)

The stable could actually use more residents - but the last time I went with quantity over quality I ended up taking a little green pill for 10 days  :-[ [sm_shock]

Its all about quality now  ;D

(which leaves me alone most nights  :'( )

Honestly, if you're looking to be impressed with "Aske movie recommendations" I'd say rent Children of Men first.

I rented the movie the other night.  Very beautiful to look at, but what an incredibly sad movie from start to finish.

Home alone through Sunday night.  I'll be picking this up this evening.  Maybe something for tomorrow too.  Any suggestions?

Nice.

I might be home alone one night this weekend, too, if the wife has a "Girls Night" as planned.

I tried but they were all out.  Got The Departed instead.  Pretty good movie but not first tier IMO.

Thanks for the list.  There are quite a few on there I think are worth a look.

Watched The Prestige and The Illusionist last week.   [sm_thumbsup2] [sm_thumbsup2]
