Film 335/365, Day 350/365 – Minority Report

Great science fiction which is actually quite believable.  This is more than just a great science fiction film but this is actually a very good film with some great action scenes and a very compelling story as well.  And would you believe it, it’s yet another film based on a Philip K. Dick story.

Synopsis:  In the not too distant future crime has been completely eradicated in Washington DC thanks to a new pre-crime unit that catches criminal before they have committed the crime.  They use three pre-cogs, gifted humans who are able to see the future, to identify the crimes.  But when the lead officer in the pre-crime division is identified as a future criminal he goes on the run desperate to clear his name.

Film 91/365, Day 96/365 – Constantine

A dark and mysterious thriller, Constantine actually has a very good story and uses some fantastic special effects.  Keanu Reeves is actually very good as John Constantine although the best character is Satan played by Peter Stormare who sadly doesn’t appear until the end but is well worth the wait.  Definitely worth watching.

Synopsis: Constantine is damned, damned for the life he took, his own.  Technically dead for several minutes he now spends his time trying to make amends by using his gifts to stop demons from crossing into the human world.  When Detective Angela Dodson comes to Constantine for his help even he can’t quite imagine the extent of the situation.
