  • Must Go!

    Go in with an open mind!

    by Klopjob

    It really upsets me that this movie got such inaccurate reviews, I think that good movies have been so diluted with idiotic pieces of crap that people don't even bother seeing a movie unless they see boobs or Nicholas Cage in the trailer. Anyone who considers themselves to be at all creative or open minded should go see this film. Darron Aronofsky's best work in my opinion. And possibly my favorite movie of all time. Don't let the bad reviews tarnish the beauty of this movie, go in with an open mind and you won't regret it.

  • Oh No!

    The Fountain

    by themillards5

    although this story line had great possibilities, this movie did not do justice to the story line or the actors. It was too complicated and too disconnected to follow. It just wasn't good.

  • Must Go!

    Aronofsky is a master filmmaker.

    by dcshaw87

    There isn't another writer/director alive that even comes close to him. For me, he fills that massive black void that was created on March 7, 1999. Right on EternalFootman!

    Go see it.
