Saw it at the cinema when it came out, very entertaining...just don't go in that greenhouse!!
Watched MicMacs last night, if you enjoyed delicatessen then you'd love this, worth putting up with the subtitles.
Cheers, Will
The Fountain [Blu-ray]
I don't think I could easily describe this film. It isn't SF and neither is it fantasy, but something in between. There is little storyline but it is an experience. Quite mesmerising and nothing like any other film I've ever seen. If you're game (and many will not be), then immerse yourself in the wonderful concepts, lush visuals and sympathetic score and just let it wash over you. The emotional intensity is quite something, if you see it through.

Some what different though to X-Men!

Just like there are certain music albums you keep going back to there are certain films/documentaries... Here's one - Trinity & Beyond:The Atomic Bomb Movie... You need big speakers or subs
