Betwix Heaven & Hell

So yester I actually went out into the street. The world must be ending when the hermit actually goes for an outing. Nothing major I promise. Me and my roomate took in a late show of Constantine, I usually never pay full prices for the garbage that is put on the big screen. 5$ matinee is the habit and really I'd prefer to tune out to the IFC channel if I need to cough of the loot for some flix. Anywhoo, so we get in the theatre and low and behold the damn theatre smelled like "boodie chedda" or better yet "buntz" (think on the lines of bdussy), as my roomie put it. Lawd, I didn't know if I was gonna make it 2 hours through the flick with the pungent stench looming in the chairs let alone the air. As more people filed into the space and the lack there of I felt I was bout to suffocate. But there were definately some chuckle provided by my inhouse comic. And YO! whats up with all the coke/deodorant spray/etc and downright corball commercials...I'm so sick. I was tainted and went home and left with the need to cleanse myself it by washing.

Constantine gets ** 1/2 stars. Not only did the theatre smell like buntz but the movie could be describe as such as well. Yes it had an interesting premise but between the Christian propaganda provided in the previews on top of that which was in the movie, I thought I was being violated by some twisted religious fevor ala Holywood. I mean lawd, can Holywood get of Mel Gibson's nutz already? The special effects were entertaining. Keanu's dry acting served it's purpose, as usual. But definately there was much left to be desired and a whole lot more that could have been done. No doubt it was a set up for sequels *barf*. But wait for cable don't even trip off the dvd release dun. Other than that the best part of the flick was that I got my all of 10 minute Djimon Honsou fix.

I shoulda went to see Hotel Rowanda like REEF suggested...duh...I needed some mind candy I guess. But, buss it how it's playing in 1 theatre opposed to the 4-6 that Constantine is playing in. Oh the joys of the deep durrty (litterally).

So to add to the quazi-spiritual yack yack I was subjected to I'm leave yall with something a little more dense (I mean a little) than the dunce dung I whiffed.
