Hellboy

[TJL]

Hey movie fans, TJL here!

I saw "Hellboy" Saturday afternoon, and I really enjoyed it.

Lots of action, special effects, and most imortantly, humor.
Ron Perlman is awsome. This is the role he was born for.

I certainly hope there are sequels in the works.

Check it out if you can. If you like live action comic book movies, then you won't be disappointed.
It's a great early start to the summer movie season.

I took this from the IMDB:

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.

There's more to the story than just this little blurb.
Hellboy works for a top secret branch of the FBI that fights supernatural threats to the world (kind of like a cross between Men In Black, X Men and Ghostbusters). When the evil Russian Rasputin resurfaces determined to destroy Earth with some evil demons from another dimension, Hellboy along with his fellow demon fighters Abe the telpathinc half man/half fish and Liz Sherman (she starts fires- big fires) spring into action.

Lot's of fun. Be sure to see it.

Yes, Hellboy has a bit of a crush on his fellow demon fighter Liz.
I don't want to give away anything that happens, so go see the movie and find out if Hellboy gets the girl.

From Hell's Kitchen: The Roaring Days of New York's Wild West Side by Richard O'Connor

For decades after the Civil War, Hell's Kitchen on New York City's West Side between 14th and 52nd Streets, and Eighth Avenue and the waterfront, and the Tenderloin just to the east, glowed, simmered, and frequently boiled over with crime and corruption. Notorious gangs ruled the streets between the tenements, grog shops, slaughter houses, railroad yards, and gas works. In Hell's Kitchen Bully Morrison pulled lamposts out of the sidewalk to use as shillelaghs. During prohibition Hell's Kitchen was the domain of Owney Madden and "Mad Dog" Coll who scared even the city's underworld.
In the gaslight days of the lobster palaces, private dining rooms, and champagne suppers, those in a sportive mood headed toward the Tenderloin, centering around Haymarket. In the Tenderloin there was more crime per square mile of redlight house and saloon than in any other place in America. This all flourished under police protection of course.

But Hell's Kitchen also produced "The Fighting 69th" and Father Francis Patrick Duffy, the heart and soul of that famous regiment. Writers such as Thomas Wolfe and O. Henry lived in Hell's Kitchen and searched its streets for ideas and inspiration.


Over the years, Hell's Kitchen has learned to temper its wild instincts somewhat. An unknowing visitor will still see pockets of sleaze, but the neighborhood is home to thousands of people and businesses. Some still argue about the exact boundaries of Hell's Kitchen, but these days it's commonly considered to run from 34th to 59th Streets and from Eighth Avenue to the Hudson River. The area is also known as Clinton and residents use the two terms interchangeably. One word of caution: our neighborhood is not Midtown West, an unwelcome moniker slapped on by the real estate interests.

Come on by and visit. We'll leave a light on for you.
