Darkman

Watch the scene above. ‘Nuff said.

More needs to be said? Oh, okay.

If you need more convincing on why you need to watch Liam Neeson play a mentally and physically scarred scientist seeking revenge on the men who burned him alive while Sam Raimi directs in the same style that made The Evil Dead a classic, then you kind of answered your own question.

Plus, this being Raimi’s first taste of the superhero genre before completely changing the game with his Spider-Man franchise, Darkman serves as a fun time capsule worth seeing.

Constantine

Let’s be honest for a second: Constantine being a good movie is rather debatable. It’s a film that many fans of the comic character are venomously against, bitter that their favorite chain-smoking Brit is not British, or blonde like his comic counterpart.

Instead, he’s Keanu Reeves who adequately makes the character his own, but isn’t exactly a direct adaptation of what came before. For that alone, this film has warranted mixed reviews, but if there’s anything about this movie worth recommending, it’s seeing Oscar winner Tilda Swinton play the angel Gabriel and Fargo’s Peter Stormare as Satan himself.

Both are magnificent show stealers here and they share a scene with pitch-perfect chemistry that is worth the price of admission alone.
