  • 'Immortals' Review: Big Dumb Blood, Sweat And Beauty

    Immortals is a flagrantly artificial, insanely violent film. 'Insanely' violent because minutes at a time pass where the frame is filled with nothing but graphically split bodies and crushingly brutal combat, with no point beyond the arresting visual of digital viscera in slow motion.

  • 'Immortals' Trailer #3

    Here's the third trailer for Tarsem's stylishly violent Immortals. (See the first and second ones if you haven't already.)

  • Five New 'Immortals' Posters

    There are five new character posters for Tarsem's Immortals, which tells a very Clash of the Titans-style story. These images dramatically play up the sort of imagery that became the accepted mainstream way of envisioning burly ancient warriors thanks to 300, but if you look at the actual stills for the film you'll see the…
