The Stars And The Tower

The cast was great, but the movie was really bad. I hated it.

I mean, I never clicked with the main characters; they were boring. And the whole--OMG, It's Ancient Greece! thing--yeah, that got old. Fast.

There could have been some redeeming value, if the part with the Lotus Land Aphrodite Girls had been drastically extended.

Or if they had just given Kevin McKidd some more air-time.

But, I suppose Uma Thurman's cameo as Medusa was pretty cool.

.....

But, anyway, it sucked. And, at least, movies of this sort, which suck, make me feel better about my decision to turn my back on the whole thing.

And, for those of you less crazy and obscure than me, that's the "Lightning-Struck Tower".

And no, I am NOT Harry Potter...thanks for asking.

Or...Rick....Potter. Whatever.

Update: Also note-- Chris Columbus is skilled in the art of failure.
