constantine whats that about

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

constantine whats that about

Its an excellent film, Id strongly recommend you to watch it.

Basically, it is a supernatural thriller with keanu reeves & Rachel Weisz). He is a demon hunter who has been to Hell and back (literally), and whose soul is sentenced to hell. He has been deporting demons to get on good terms with God, yet God wants self-sacrifice. After the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, detective Angela Dodson goes out in search of the truth. Together, Constantine and Angela battle the demons on Earth.

Watch it, its much better than how it sounds. Promise!! :D:D

im not one for reading, but did not know it was a book, i have the good old fashion VHS

[TazDaz]

Damn it! There are far too many good films (movies, we're not American!;)) to make a top 20 list. Top 200 maybe!

Firefly season was better than the Serenity film I thought. Shame they only bothered to do one season though!

THE MATRIX - completely forgot about this trilogy!

[Venom]

Erm



Enemy Of The State
Star Trek: First Contact
True Romance (Best Mexican standoff ever)
Shawshank Redemption
Spirited Away

[Graciepants]

Firefly season was better than the Serenity film I thought. Shame they only bothered to do one season though!!

very true - they were axed though, the last episode was only made because so many fans wrote in to complain about it being stopped, they werent even allowed to complete one season - josh whedon made the film as a sort of replacement and closure


my god..im a geek :pale:

chocolat?

the dark knight - because they actually made the bike!

[thedonal]

Yeah- but the batmobile in Batman Begins was ace- and that's real too.

And Batman Begins was a better film, amazing as Heath Ledger was- the film was too long and perhaps should have been 2 films...
