The Fountain

Sorry Mars, God of War, it’s not that I didn’t like it but I didn’t love it.  Premise, great.  Lighting, great.  Acting, real good (but please no more Hugh Jackman in a veiny skullcap in the future).  Story, not coherent enough!  Plus I felt like I was watching a badly lifted version of 2001 at [...]
