Hugh Jackman is very sexy. Rachel Weisz is stunning in her new mama's glow but try as he might her paramour Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi) could not make this fountain spout. Ugh. If I saw one more star explode I thought I would lose my mind! Part historical fiction set in the Spanish Inquisition (Weisz plays Queen Isabella to Jackman's conquistador) part modern day (Weisz=cancer patient, Jackman=surgeon) part science fiction (a bald and yogic Jackman lives on a star in a bubble with a baobab). Aronofsky's cinematic nod to Ste. Exupery and the Inquisition gives Ellen Burstyn star billing (she's in it for 5 minutes) and fails over and over. **
