MOTHER OF TEARS
I waited this long for this??
PLOT
Sarah is working in the Museum of Ancient Art in Rome when she comes across an urn sent to the museum by one of their workers in the field. She and her co-worker look over the urn and discover that it supposedly contains the last remains of a witch called the Mother of Tears. Of course the seal on the urn is accidentally broke and a bunch of witches descend on the city where they plan to honor the witch because now she’s alive. Oh and there’s the most annoying monkey in the world…why am I still writing about this?
TRIVIA
Only grossed a little over $3 million in the U.S.
Argentino worked on an early version of the script as far back as 1984.
THOUGHTS
I know that if you still read my blog, you’re probably wondering what the hell you waited for. Trust me, I feel the same way. I had this movie on my Netflix queue since I first joined back in August. It took that long for the freaking movie to make its way to my mailbox because the waiting list was so long. Now that I’ve seen it, I want to know why the hell I waited so long. Mother of Tears is long and boring and confusing as hell. Half the time I didn’t know what was going on and the other half of the time I wanted to strangle that monkey. That sounds vaguely dirty, but sadly it was all on the up and up. Basically I’m very disappointed.
