'Fountain' Flows Curiously

It seems as though what is supposed to be three stories is really just one short story. Hugh Jackman plays three roles as the same man, with only a slight change in his name as Tom Creo. He starts out as a conquistador, then becomes a veterinarian, and ends as a spaceman in a spaceship, or what some would like to call a bubble with the Tree of Life. He sets out to find a cure for death after his wife, Izzi played by Rachel Weisz, is stricken with a disease. The whole movie seems more like an odd dream, searching for the end of a story started by his wife, while reliving the past. This movie is more like Darren Aronofsky's final fantasy, 'cause he's lost his mind. Don't even wait for it on DVD. Forget about it and catch it on one of the movie channels in about a year from now, if you decide to care then. Ten Factor: 6.3

'Casino' Proves Explosive

Bond...James Bond is back and more explosive. He's younger, but it's the beginning of his story. Most of the people I know said that Daniel Craig would be a horrible Bond, and oh, let's not forget that he's blond. So everyone, just overlook his hair. It's hardly noticeable.
This Bond is more vicious and less stylish. There's more shoot 'em up now and ask questions later. More take action before thinking. Did you say gadgets, 'cause Bond didn't. He does manage to crash an extremely nice, high-powered car.
Since Bond is back, Judi Dench is, too. Only, she doesn't have a large part in this new film. Usually when Kingdom of Heaven star Eva Green is on the screen, the laughs come out to play. She can't be mentioned without mentioning her beauty. Her beauty shines more in this movie than it did in Kingdom of Heaven. She out does herself this time around. Don't leave your seat or blink, 'cause you will miss something important or an awsome chunk of the action.
This is another MUST SEE FILM! Ten Factor: 10
