Theatrical report

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

I have a new - well, not new to the world, but new to me - medium for watching films. It somehow manages to allow me to watch even the most boring flick (eg Prophecy III).

I Am not a Christopher Walken fan. Nor have I ever seen Chris as the good guy. Or have I? I'm not sure. I think that in the beginning of the film (the opening credit flashbacks) that Chris was the baddie, but later he became the goodie (or one of them, anyway).

The prophecy III is a film for the lover of the occult. It might also appeal to freaks and geeks, but definitely not the buffies (what is the term for a Buffy fan?). It's also not for the Last action hero types or the 007 aficianados. It just seems to be about what everyone already knows: God hangs around but he doesn't pay much attention to what's going on.

This is the usual war of good versus evil, Devil versus God and light versus dark. The battles don't all mean the same thing but they are summaries of this film.
