Constantine

[ksmith]

Just watched Constantine. Well, most of it--missed the first hour because of Countdown, but caught the rest.

What a wonderfully whacked film. I remember Keanu Reeves receiving poor reviews, but I thought he was fine. Ok, he's a rangy brunet, so I'm biased, but I still thought he was fine. Tilda Swinton's Gabriel was riveting. Peter Stormare's Satan. I want to rent it to see what I missed.

My friend who's a big Hellblazer fan wasn't happy with the movie, but I thought it was great fun - I think it's really a matter of expectations. Though for movies with Keanu Reeves and Satan, I think I still favor Devil's Advocate.

Is that the one with Al Pacino as Satan. I must look into that as well.

Hunting down movies I've missed over the years. I must have a book due.

That's the one! There's something very Milton about Pacino's Satan; it was nicely done.

Oh, and of course, no discussion of movies in which Old Hob appears would be complete without The Prophesy. Viggo Mortensen as the Devil, /and/ Christopher Walken as the creepiest Gabriel ever. Really, what's not to like?
