Why Cinepolis and the La Paloma Didn't Make the Cut
Scott Marks 12:54 p.m., May 25
Immortals
Director Tarsem Singh (The Fall, The Cell) has been called a visionary, which presumably means he has an eye for interesting visuals. And that’s almost enough to carry you through this bit of buff, burnished bloodshed, a mashup of 300 (invading barbarian army against civilized Greeks), Troy (immortality through deeds vs. immortality through offspring), and the myth of Theseus and the minotaur. But so much else here is pedestrian, except for Mickey Rourke, who has a good time as the cruel conqueror who dares to make war on the pretty, pretty gods. 2011.
