Reviewing Movies for My Co-Workers: Constantine

“I was overwhelmed by the hellish imagery, the abject violence, and the complete inhumanity. A vision right out of Bosch’s worst nightmares, with Hell let loose upon the Earth with brimstone and sulfurous fumes. An utterly loathsome firestorm of Evil waiting to be unleashed upon this world of ours, just biding its time till it bursts out into the open and wreaks destruction. I could barely sit through the whole thing. Man, I’ve got to lay off the pesto gnocchis.
“The movie? Oh, it was OK, I guess.”

@Mona: Thanks!
