Fool's Views (2/17 – 3/2)

Reports of my demise have been slightly exaggerated...

Howdy folks,

I’ve not been idle, but oh, the distractions, they have been many. Think we’ll just leave it at that, seeing as how I’ve got a month and a half to catch up on here. But I can say that there have been some enjoyable moments spent in front of the magic window, kept company by sharks, slashers, zombies, Sasquatch, and a surprisingly enjoyable pairing of Charles Bronson and an oversized bison.

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back:

Enjoy!

DARKMAN (1990) Blu-ray review

Darkman (1990) d. Sam Raimi (USA)

Scientist Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson, in his first leading role) is working diligently to uncover the secrets of a new synthetic skin, frustrated at his inability to stabilize it past the 98-minute mark. But when his girlfriend Julie (Frances McDormand) uncovers a corrupt businessman’s (Colin Friels) payoffs to government officials, the noble egghead lands in hot water (or more accurately, boiling acid) at the hands of hired thugs led by the sinister and ruthless Durant (Larry Drake). Awakening in a hospital burn ward, the presumed-dead Westlake escapes and resumes his work, hoping to restore his ruined visage, wreak vengeance on those responsible, and try to become human once again.
