Review of Guy Moshe's Bunraku
When did Woody Harrelson become one of those actors that adds instant gravitas to any scene they’re in? As he gets older and craggier he seems to have solidified into this wall of character, with every line he reads sounding more meaningful than it has any right to. In Bunraku he happily takes on the “philosophical barman” trope, the linchpin in a film with so many stylistic influences that it’s a wonder everything holds together.

Trailer for Guy Moshe's Bunraku

Hellboy
Hellboy has now joined my collection of films that are based upon comic books which I’ve never read. It joins Daredevil, Hulk, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and, er, Supergirl. Now, there’s a line-up!
Compare it with my list of films that are based upon comic books that I have read; X-Men, Batman, Spiderman—a smaller collection, but one with significantly better films (discounting Joel Schumacher’s efforts, of course). Will Hellboy stand with pride in the latter collection, or will it shuffle it’s feet quietly with the flawed/awful works in the former?
