John Constantine: Rise and Fall of a Superman
Martin Carr on Constantine: The rise and fall of a Superman… I never was a comic book fan. Had no affinity for the medium. Watchmen was only purchased for research purposes before the cinematic release. And what’s more I only just made it through the tome. You see, at that tender age I was convinced […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 12 Review – ‘Angels and Ministers Of Grace’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Constantine… Ariadne’s Thread: The solving of a problem with multiple apparent means of proceeding. I like this show it makes you think; something which few people can claim to do in an average day. My sincere apologies by the way for those who never consider their days average, […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 13 Review – ‘Waiting for the Man’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Constantine… A purveyor and peddler of sensory drugs for those into a little action, Constantine represents the bad boy in all of us. Inherently cool, ultimately flawed and perpetually alone amongst friends. Waiting for a salvation which will never come and trapped into a thankless cycle without end, […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Quid Pro Quo′
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Constantine… Quid Pro Quo: A reciprocal exchange from the Latin circa sixteenth century. Underutilised and under the radar no longer people. Finally seasoned supporting player Charles Halford gets his chance to outshine Matt Ryan, in a move destined to see the fortunes of Constantine take on a more […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 11 Review – “A Whole World Out There”
Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Constantine… “The God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac. We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him?! What kind of god would do that?” Stephen Fry I never aim to be inflammatory. Offence is never intended. […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Saint of Last Resorts’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Constantine… This review leaves me with a distinct sense of having missed the boat. Other opinions have been jamming up the internet for at least two weeks now, so you might rightly ask yourself what I bring to the table. Well if discussions about Christian iconography, far flung […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Rage of Caliban’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Constantine… Let me start by being contentious. I have read other opinions on this episode. They may or may not influence me, but since I believe most have missed the point it remains unlikely. Forums and websites who afford the expert and ignoramus equal opportunity to air their […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Blessed Are the Damned’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Constantine… At the heart of this episode lies a theological debate centred on conflicting opinions; those of subjective faith and established dogma. For once the Hellblazer paradigm has been jettisoned in favour of an original piece of writing with a fresh approach. That it revels in an intentional […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Danse Vaudou’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Constantine… Shall we play a game? What do you get when one veteran film maker with broad genre credentials takes on a protagonist with hell on his heels? Answer, a languid Louisiana vibe straight from the voodoo heartland of New Orleans. Filmed in back alleys, side streets and […]
