1. Guess who got excited over this one!

    For my money Tarsem Singh’s Immortals looks YAWN-erific. I’ll be glad when the sword and sandals genre goes away because it seems like none have any sense of heart or humor. I mean, shiiiiit, did you see that “execution” scene? I thought we had crossed into Asylum territory briefly. 

    Immortals stars Henry Cavill and Mickey Rourke and is about…ummm… from what I got out of the trailer… .a peasant wronged by a king who gets a magic bow that can fire 4 arrows with only 3 pulls. There are shots that look straight out of 300 and from top to bottom it’s got that homogeneous green screen taint that makes the whole thing look like a 1st generation Playstation 3 game. In other words, generic as all get out. 

    The film has a release date of 11/11/11 and I think they’ll need every second to tighten up the graphics. Right now it looks ready to go straight to DVD/Watch Instantly but apparently they want it to be in RealD 3D. Bleh.
