I saw
Deja Vu
yesterday. Has anyone else? I didn't much like it, and thought Denzel sleep- (or charisma-) walked through the whole thing.
Plot point, aside of the true mechanics of the thing which don't work according to any framework I can recall--he
told her they had a machine that saw into the future,
right? So when she
was to be questioned by the other him, she couldn't even begin to tell him anything that made sense, especially since the other him was never going to see the device,
right?
Seemed tangled to me.
I saw
Bobby
tonight. It's a weird amalgam--some great acting (Freddy Rodriguez ROCKED), good directing, compelling ideas and TERRIBLE dialogue. I wanted to tear my eardrums out almost every time someone opened their mouth. Joshua Jackson and Sharon Stone gave really strong performances and that was a nice surprise.
I saw
The Fountain.
Someone explain it to me.

Love triumphs over death and time. Also, supermicroscopic shots of yeast in a petri dish trumps CGI.
You would have said that even if he hadn't asked, wouldn't you? You like being the expert almost as much as hair clippings, don't you, Hecubus?

Isn't that basically calling me a know-it-all? I didn't think my reply was all that expert - just glib.
Love triumphs over death and time.
More like love = acceptance of death in time.
Also, circles and blinky lights are pretty.
Should I see the Fountain, or not? Would I be better off with Happy Feet?
I like to take advantage of $5.50 matinees when I come home to Mississippi, and I already saw Casion Royale, and Bobby looks... not so good.
You're from MS? I did not know this.
Well, two of my co-workers are credited in Bobby, so I feel compelled to recommend it in spite of the mixed reviews. (Haven't seen it myself yet.)
The Fountain is very, very pretty. The performances are good, and Hugh Jackman in the leather conquistador pants is VERY good. The message is a bit heavy-handed, for values of "a bit" which equal "a whole lot." The score is very nice. The film has good momentum, and the cutting between storylines is quite well done. The production design is gorgeous.
Basically, there's a lot to like about it, but E and I still spent the entire subway ride home mocking it mercilessly, because it does make its point about life and death and love over and over and over again in such an earnest way that we just couldn't help it.
