Movie review: 'Forrest Gump' reunion 'Here' lacks heart

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Forrest Gump, for better or worse, captured what the '50s through '80s meant to America. In Here, which premiered Friday at AFI Fest, the same filmmakers spread themselves thin trying to capture centuries.

The premise is that the camera remains fixed on a single location for the entire movie as it evolves. For most of the movie, it is a living room, but it sometimes flashes back to when it was a colonial plantation or forest inhabited by Native Americans.
