Emma Thompson is the show stealer here as the title character, even behind the layers of make-up.

It’s a wonderfully dark, twisted look at a possible future, where the repo men believe in what they are doing despite the death.

Darkman is filled with Raimi’s twisted humor, not to mention his odd sense of camera movement.

It is a wonderful intentionally campy early ’80s effort, the priceless segment being that of Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), quarterback of the New York Jets, using objects in the throne room to play a football game against this captors.

Without Greengrass’ trademark panicked style (or cliched documentary feel; call it what you wish), Green Zone would not be the same.

It is all elaborate, with expansive CG backgrounds and big budget Rick Baker make-up effects. Why is it then the most effective scene in the film uses little of those?

It’s purpose is not simply to make the audience laugh, but develop another side of the character, pushing it out of one dimensional territory.

Mixed with actual newscasts, scenes of grieving wives, crying children, and stressed out mission controllers, Apollo 13 sets the period and the tone.

Ingenuity, or at least a refreshing level of cruel-natured fun, would have made Leap Year memorable.

Cue a series of hilarious antics, including the reason many people refuse to webcams in any capacity, and you have a priceless laugh-fest aided by a cast who sells every role.
