Constantine- not a bad movie...

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I was kind of surprised actually. Keanu Reeves plays a modern day exorcist trying to buy his way into heaven after a suicide attempt as a teenager. Despite what you might imagine the film brought forth all kinds of interesting and unusual concepts (at least for me or maybe I donâ€™t get out a lot) like:
Trapping a demon in a mirror and then smashing it.
Visiting hell by drowning or somehow using water.
Demons and angels cannot actually exist on earth but can visit and tempt man.
A very interesting turn by Tilda Swinton as the angel Gabriel, an asexual creature who decides to aid the devilâ€™s son in order to make man suffer and â€œriseâ€ to Godâ€™s love.
The CGI was rather well done, but most of all I was struck by the thought that went into the screenplay which I learned was based on some comic. The opening scene was a keeper and one of the better and more chilling exorcisms caught on film!

I like Stomare's low-rent, less than glamorous Lucifer . . . quite a change from His Slickness. * - mr grits 20:10:57 08/07/05 (0)
