Hellboy II:The Golden Army

And now, from someone who did not see Hellboy I and is not a comic/movie fan and only really went to see this movie to check out Selma Blair. Well geez I was not disappointed with Agent Sherman nor any other facet of this grand movie. Right from the opening, a flashback of HB as a wee lad, to present day with a fully grown HB working for the paranormal institute alongside his buddies Abe Sapien and Liz(Agent Sherman)(Selma Blair)I completely enjoyed this great flick. Jeffrey Tambor, always amusing and the introduction of the vaporous Johann Krauss really lifted the procedings yet further. And of course, it is Ron Perlman who owns this movie with his wisecracking title character. Good grief I enjoyed this movie~! Saw it twice! I just may go again. One sad afterthought..I noticed in small print in the newspaper ad for HB2 this 'warning':"THIS FILM CONTAINS DEPICTIONS OF TOBACCO CONSUMPTION". Thank goodness we have some pansies on the job!                           7/31/08
