Constantine

I took a few moments out today to hang with my oldest brother. We went out to grab a bite and then sat down to watch Constantine, the anthropomorphic-God envies man-Devil has all the power, movie. While it was not totally horrible, it wasn’t all that good, either. I don’t watch T.V. (hated it…) and don’t really see all that many movies. I mostly read. But I’m glad I made the exception for Constantine.
No. I’m not. That’s the down side of writing on the Net is that sometimes you can’t get the gist of subtle humor so I have to beat you over the head with sarcasm. The acting was so-so, the script (there was a script?) was all over the place and nowhere at all at the same time. But, it’s saving grace was its look - not the special effects. While those were good it was how the movie was shot. Of course, you’re reading a post by a photographer. I will have to say I liked the way they shot it. Interesting camera angles and good lighting. Now, if only they could tell a story.
By the way, that’s Julia and myself at the South Street Diner last week (photo © 2005 Aaron Dumas!). Yes, she’s the culprit from the mosque incident. Devilish, isn’t she? Thanks for visiting Julia and Aaron. See ya’ll in two weeks.

salaams,
i saw Constantine but i liked The Prophecy alot better. It was a very similar movie in several respects. There is a huge celestial conflict which revolves around a powerful dark spiritual weapon. Gabriel and Lucifer are also in it and play loosely similar roles (Except Gabriel is played by Christopher Walken so you know the acting is good). Also Virginia Madsen and Eric Stolz are also in it. It is actually really interesting to me how many elements the two films have in common. Unfortunately, there is also a Prophecy II and Prophecy III which I don’t recommend at all… but seriously if you liked Constantine… you definitely have to see The Prophecy.
