Movie Review
Grade: B-
The Fountain is Darren Aronofsky's latest ambitious film following
cult classics Pi and Requiem for a Dream. As I regard Dream
to be one of the best movies ever created, I had been anticipating The Fountain,
about immortality and the fountain of youth, for what seems like years. Disappointed
I was to find the film a beautiful yet convoluted drama that makes little sense
- or makes perfect sense and just doesn't matter.

Tthe Fountain, by alicea keys
December 21, 2006
A movie for an awakened
intelligent, thinking mind
seeking a reprieve from
the "junk movies" that
abound.
Great Movie....
one to be seen
more than once.
