Passion Play

One of the weirdest movie premises, with the most mis-matched cast.  This film is from 2010, after Mickey Rourke did The Wrestler and Iron Man 2.  He should be going onwards and upwards, not skittering sideways.  Bill Murray and Megan Fox also star in this film about a down-and-out trumpet player who discovers a beautiful girl at a carnival - who has wings.  The CGI/green screen effects look dated, like someone is just fiddling with the technology for the very first time.  In their basement.  And the wrap-up, holy crapoly.  We are talking clutching-at-straws-no-sleep-against-a-deadline-how-does-this-end desperation here.  Someone clearly threw in the towel on this film, I am just shocked they got these actors to go down with them.  Well, maybe not so surprised that Fox went along with it...
