I saw the trailers before watching Lady in the water movie.

It's The Fountain, and what I think should be good "Children of men.
The trailers look awesome, so I'm hopinig the movies would be too. Something to look foward to this year.

Yea, but I could think of better female actors to play that role in The Fountain. Any then the women that's playing it.

Children of Men seems, from the trailer, to be a near exact clone of an ep of Outer Limits. But that's ok, it was a cool idea and looks good.

Wait a minute,

You PAID to see "Lady in the Water"?

That said, I've been following their development and those two movies should be pretty awesome.

Also, Rachel Weisz is not only a brilliant Academy Award winning actress but I also think one of the sexiest women on the planet.

The Fountain wasn't received very well in Cannes. To me it looks extremely pretentious and overwrought. Like Aronofsky is trying his hardest to make something that will truuuuuly blow our minds. I guess that kinda pressure comes with having made a succesfull movie. :)

Anyway I kinda like pretentious movies, so I'll definately see it. My guess is that it's a fascinating juggernaut of bad storytelling and too high ambitions, but none the less fascinating.

For Children of Men, well it has a somewhat interesting premise, and the first part of the trailer really made me interested. But the second half makes me afraid that we are talking about another over-humanistic movie, trying to be oh so moving and heartfelt. There's usually a balance where a movie, if it falls to the preaching side, will feel too much like lecture or a pathos driven feel-fest, that it's too much to handle. But still it looks interesting, but you know what destination has been paved with these oh so good intentions. ;)
