Rachel Weisz makes a sexy tree.

Movie Review: "The Fountain", dir. Darren Aronofsky


So, I finally got around to watching "The Fountain" last night, and let me tell you, it was well worth my time. Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz deliver stellar performances in this transcendentalist masterpiece.
The movie weaves in and out of three story lines set in the New World past, American present, and indeterminate (by both time and location) future. The three blend seamlessly together like a complex puzzle, taking moments of heightened intensity to a suspenseful drop by a plotline switch.
The imagery and symbolism in "The Fountain" makes it one of the most visually appealing movies I've seen in, well... probably ever. Each of the story lines carries it's own form of a particular image/symbol, and searching for these is perhaps one of the great joys I derived from watching the movie.
The musical score to the movie matched the movie scene for scene in both intensity and beauty. I'm not sure who arranged it all, but to whomever did, Kudos!
"The Fountain" is one of the few movies to become one of my instant favorites. The story as a whole evoked a sense of awe and beauty that was hard to not feel throughout the film. I'd expect nothing less from the director of Pi.

Oh, I could use this to do so much evil.

It looks like one of J.K. Rowling's transcript copies for the new Harry Potter book got into the wrong hands before it was edited. I have been wanting to know how the 7th book ends, badly. Not because I'm a Harry Potter fan, but because I want to use that knowledge for evil, driving by enormous lines of fans outside bookstores and reading the ending to them all, hopefully causing a riot.

But yeah, someone apparently got a copy and put it on ytmnd:

Harry Potter Book 7 Spoiler

Easy Free Movies.

Now I, for one, love free stuff. Also, I happen to love movies. So when you combine the two, I get as giddy as a little girl in the Barbie isle at Wal-Mart. Now, this is nothing new, but these sites are always getting taken down, and I just found this one. It's even got movies that have only been in theaters a week or two, in good digital quality, too. Not much of that camera-recorded crap.
