Constantine, a review by addicted2dvdConstantine John Constantine sees demons walk the earth, and he aims to do something about it: send them back to hell! As Constantine, The Matrix's Keanu Reeves fights a new otherworld foe in this eye-popping supernatural thriller based on characters from the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer Graphic Novels and set in a City of the Angels where spirit-world bounds have been broken...and all hell is breaking loose. Holy water. A dragon's-breath flamethrower. A shotgun crafted from a crucifix. Armed with these and assisted by an intrepid cop (Rachel Weisz), John Constantine is a spiritual warrior gone to apocalyptic war. Be glad he's on your side. My Thoughts: This is a movie I blind bought earlier this month. I have heard both good and bad about this movie so I made myself go into this movie with low expectations. Which I guess did help as I did enjoy this movie quite a bit. I did find parts of it to be on the weird side. But it did keep my full attention through-out the movie. From what I understand this movie is based on a comic book. One I never read before. So the character(s) were completely new to me. But that didn't really matter... it didn't hamper my understanding of the movie any... though I am sure there was some references to the comics that I wouldn't of known about. The Constantine character was pretty cool... it's kinda weird on itself as I liked the character and disliked him all at the same time. Kinda like a hero that shouldn't be one if that makes any sense to you. But I am glad I added it to my collection... can see myself watching it again.

Will relates his romantic ups and downs to her, from girl next-door Emily (Elizabeth Banks), to the best friend and confidante, April (Isla Fisher) and the free-spirited Summer (Rachel Weisz)... three romances... three broken hearts. Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy... and Will realises that it's never too late to get a second chance in love.

Extras: Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurettes Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: Not a laugh-out-loud comedy, but a charming movie. I liked the frame story with Ryan Reynold's character and his daughter (played by Abigail Breslin from "Little Miss Sunshine"). Also the ending was the one I was rooting for Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on March 20th, 2010) "Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvdStarman This episode I have mixed feelings about. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the previous episode. But it was still pretty good. Some of it was pretty out there... and some of the attempts at humor didn't work for me. But over all not a basic average episode I guess. My Rating: (From "Due South" marathon on January 24th, 2010) |
