HD DVD Movie : The Fountain

Genre : Sci-Fi | Fantasy

The Fountain is a science fiction / fantasy movie that takes place in three different time bounds (the present, past, and future), a tale that spans over a thousand of years. It was directed by Darren Aronofsky and the film stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.

Movie Synopsis:

The Fountain is about the journey of a man through time and his thousand-year struggle to save the woman he loves most. Tommy Creo (Hugh Jackman) is desperate to cure his beloved wife Isabel (Rachel Weisz) from the killer cancer. Tom searches for a legendary tree called 'The Tree of Life' that believed to give eternal life as the solution for his wife's condition. His journey is divided into three different time bounds spanning a millennium. His journey begins when he becomes a conquistador of the 16th century Spain, then a modern-day scientist and a 26th century astronaut traveling in space, trying to unveil the mysteries of life that consumed him for a thousand of years.

Movie Trivia:

The Fountain was originally set to be filmed in 2002 with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett as the lead casts with a $75 million production budget. But The Fountain shut down their production as Pitt and Blanchett left and chose to film Troy (2004) instead. Having a smaller budget of $35 million, Darren Aronofsky cast Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz as their replacement.

Brad Pitt left The Fountain because the pre-production of the movie was taking longer than expected and chose to star in Troy with a budget of $180 million.

Ironically, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett played as couple in Troy as what their roles would be in The Fountain.

Hugh Jackman shave off all his hair on his chest and head for a scene in this movie.

Aronofsky chose to do special effects using micro-photography of chemical reactions on tiny petri dishes instead of using CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) because he believes that CGI would take away the timelessness of the movie and he wanted his film to stand the test of time.

There are 70 extras played as Mayan Warriors and 20 of them are real Mayans from Guatemala. The real Mayans blessed the film's set before shooting at the Mayan pyramid.

Actor Fernando Hernandez ,who played the Lord of Xibalba of the Mayan tribe, was the only one who could speak English among the group.

Tom's last name Creo means "I create" in Latin and "I believe" in Spanish. While Izzi's full name is quite close to the phonetic translation for Spanish term "Y sí, creo" that means "And yes, I do believe."

HD DVD Movie : Evan Almighty

Genre: Comedy

Evan Almighty (also known as Bruce Almighty 2) is a comedy movie directed by Tom Shadyac and was released by Universal Pictures in 2007 which stars Steve Carell, Lauren Graham, and Morgan Freeman.

It uses CGI for the numerous animals and the climactic flood scene (based on the Bible's "great flood" and "Noah's ark") that made Evan Almighty "the most expensive comedy movie produced."

Movie Synopsis:

Buffalo newscaster Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) has changed his career path and was elected as Washington congressman. His campaign was "Change the World" but actually ignoring that idea. When he moved his family to Virginia, he prayed and ask for guidance on their new home. The next morning, weird things happened to him in which he had a strange encounter with God (played by Morgan Freeman) commanding him to build an ark just like Noah did thousands of years ago and fill it with animals to protect them from forthcoming flood.

Evan is dubious about it and thought that he is just under a lot of stress, but unexpected events made him accept the task God told him, risking his career, family and reputation.

Movie Trivia:

Evan Almighty is supposed to be Bruce Almighty 2 but Jim Carey and Jeniffer Aniston both declined to reprise their roles on the project.

Director Tom Shadyac considered Steve Carell, who has a successful movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and agreed to play the lead role in the project by reprising the role of Evan Baxter, this time the lead character of Shadyac's project; changing the title to Evan Almighty.

Lisa Kudrow is one among the several actresses that has been considered to play the role as Evan's wife.

It is the most expensive comedy movie ever made as of June 2007. The movie has a budget of $175 million.

In a scene where God appears to Evan in the back of his car, Evan screams and God replies "Let it out, son. It's the beginning of wisdom" - it is related to Proverbs 1:7: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

The phone number on the wood delivery trucks (800)-GO-4-WOOD is a working number to promote the movie.

Movie Synopsis:

The movie describes the military life of the new members of U.S. Marine Corps assigned in the urban Vietnam War. It is a two- segment story about the harrowing experiences and personal and professional trials of the military men and the War itself. The first part is about the difficulties in the training camp of the Marine squads and their troubled relationship with the rude drill commanding sergeant. The second part is focused on the climactic battle of the of the 1968 Vietnam War. The story is told by J.T. Davis known as Private Joker (main protagonist), member of 3092 platoon.

Movie Trivia:

"Full Metal Jacket" refers to a type of bullet encased in a copper alloy or steel alloy shell used in warfare, as heard in Private Pyle's famous line spoken on the toilet, "7.62 millimeter, full... metal... jacket."

Anthony Michael Hall was booted out to play Pvt. Joker because of his complaints and objections to Stanley Kubrick's perfectionist style of directing. Matthew Modine replaced him for the role.

Vincent D'Onofrio took 7 months to gain 70 pounds for his role as Pvt. Pyle, breaking Robert De Niro's movie weight-gain record (60 pounds) for the movie Raging Bull (1980). He took 9 months of physical training to bring back his original weight.

Dorian Harewood visited a doctor twice fearing that his ear-drum was blown out while shooting his battle scenes.

Cinematographer Douglas Milsome experimented the use of camera with a shutter thrown off sync to create a realistic effect of the battle scenes. The effect was also used in Saving Private Ryan (1998).

The quote "I Am Become Death" that was written on Animal Mother's helmet is from the Bhagavad-Gita, spoken by J. Robert Oppenheimer after the explosion of the first atomic bomb at Alamogordo.

Mickey Mouse is mentioned at the end of both segments and is visible in one scene of the movie: 1st: When Hartmann enters the head to confront Joker and Pyle, he cries "What is this Mickey Mouse shit?" (Mickey Mouse is a GI slang to describe something or someone that was petty, stupid and senseless); 2nd: As Joker and company marched through the burning city, they were singing the the theme from the Mickey Mouse Club; 3rd: In the press room, a Mickey Mouse figure is seen near the window behind Pvt. Joker.

In 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae in Greece, King Leonidas of Sparta led his 300 chosen army against the massive Persian warriors and their King, Xerxes of Persia. The Spartans may be outnumbered by the Persians but their skills and valor played a key role to match the Persians despite their supremacy to gain the world's first democracy. The battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians.

The movie is a portrayal of a role played by the heroic Spartans to achieve the freedom from the Persians .

Movie Trivia:

Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. wanted this film to have a PG-13 rating but director Zack Snyder refused to do it until the film producers agreed to make it an R-Rated movie.

Zack Snyder’s son plays young Leonidas in the child fight training scene.

Sienna Miller and Silvia Colloca are considered to play the role of Queen Gorgo.

The film used the weapons from the previous war epics like "Alexander" and "Troy" to cut production costs.

The film doesn't use much CGI graphics. "It's virtual matte paintings. I call it a low-tech movie because it's such a simple concept: putting people in front of painted backdrops. It's like a student film on steroids." - Zack Snyder

The CGI elephants used in the movie are expensive. "Our rhinos and elephants were the things that broke the bank. That's why there aren't a lot of them" - said Snyder.

The entire principal cast of the movie undergo rigorous physical training to present themselves as a well-trained warrior because the script requires most of the male cast to spend most of their screen time bare-chested based on Frank Miller's novel.

The entire film was shot in 60 days with 1,523 cuts and 1,006 visual effects shots.
