The director is Darren Aronofsky who made Black Swan, The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream which I thought all three were great. He also did The Fountain and Noah which were not too good. I have a feeling this movie is like The Fountain, that it doesn't make too much sense. I just looked at IMDB and most fan reviews are giving it very poor scores, only 1 to 4 stars. Here's a review that is brief and to the point and contains spoilers, so don't read it if you still plan to go. I do not, I will wait for HBO so I read it.
I Want My 2 Hours Back by Maclean..Ottawa, Canada
In a nutshell..... The story of a writer-blocked poet (Bardem) and his beautiful young wife (Lawrence) who has adoring fans (including Ed Harris and his wife Michelle Pfeiffer) that flock to his home just to be in his presence. Forgive the run on sentence........Harris is dying of cancer, his two sons arrive to fight over his money, get into a fistfight and one gets killed, more fans arrive, Lawrence goes into labour, fans start to riot, tearing the house apart, she has the baby, he wants to show his fans, she says no, he sits and stares at her for days, she falls asleep, he takes the baby, shows his fans, they grab the baby, kill it and eat it, Mom goes nuts, runs to the basement with a wrench, bashed a hole in the oil tank and sets it on fire and blows up the whole place, Bardem carries her charred body, sets her down and proceeds to reach in her chest and take out her heart, with her permission. He squeezes her heart til it turns to glass, sets it in a stand, the next scene there's a new wife and the whole thing starts over again. There! Just saved you $10........you're welcome!
