Thank God for Video Stores

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2005)

Having JUST discovered Hellblazer last month, and having JUST bought the first ten graphic novels and read them through on a rainy Georgia weekend, and having been delighted with the depth of characterization, plot, and black humor in the series...I was delighted to find out that the movie was coming out. Until I saw who played Constantine. I'll wait and rent it.
Keanu Whosis might as well carry around a set of those "masks on sticks" the old Greeks used in the theater to indicate emotion. John Wayne only ever played one part: John Wayne. But he was funny and interesting and poignant and fearless. In contrast, Keanu plays a good solid piece of cardboard; if he ever gets a part on a cereal box, he's gonna be great. I think I'll wait until the movie is in the cheap part of the video store, not the new release section.
