Review: 'Immortals'… A Roid Raging 300!

November 11th, 2011 9:17am EST
Immortals

The rush I’ve just explained resonated with me during my IMMORTALS screening, sure, it was over-the-top, but the impact this film had within me is beyond an emotional rush! After this film was done, it was more like an emotional rape a...
