I'm not at all a fan of romantic movies as a rule, but I absolutely loved this film. It's like Sandra Bullock's "While You Were Sleeping" had a baby with Mike Birbiglia's "Sleepwalk With Me". The writing is witty, the characters are endearing, the conflict is painful, and the resolution is heartwarming.I'm not at all a fan of romantic movies as a rule, but I absolutely loved this film.

Every ninety years, the gods return to Earth in human form. They live fast, glamorous lives, and are dead within two years. This time, though, things go very wrong as one of the gods (Lucifer) is accused of murder. Kind of a cross between Neil Gaiman's American Gods and the movie Almost Famous, with lots of great twists and turns.Every ninety years, the gods return to Earth in human form.

David Smith makes a deal with Death, and for the next 200 days he can sculpt anything he can imagine. At the end of 200 days, he'll be dead, which is fine by him because he has nothing to live for... until, unexpectedly, he does.

Four friends work hard and play hard as they make their way in the world... as mercenaries for hire in a high fantasy world. Think Sex and the City meets Lord of the Rings, as directed by Quentin Tarantino.
