I thought this movie was a riot, full of little Catholic witticisms and action… and the occasional flare of Boston landscape was just plain fun (even though the movie was mostly shot on location in Canada). Norman Reedus actually reminds me of a guy I dated when I was 17.
Went to see Constantine at the cinema last night. I think it was well worth the money for the entertainment. The movie is fun and pretty, the characters are fun, and there’s a lot of play with occult mysticism. Everything I needed to keep me entertained for a Friday night.
Even better, my mom liked it, and I enjoyed the look of shock and embarassment on her face when I told her it was based on a comic.
This “based on a true story” flick goes far beyond the average after school special, and has the kind of gut wrenching feelings as Boys Don’t Cry and Monster. I adored Soldier’s Girl, and I loved the fact that there’s a well adjusted transsexual as a major character.
