The Stunning Hagia Sophia in Istanbul [OC]

Hellraiser

Hellraiser: Directed by David Bruckner. With Odessa A’zion, Jamie Clayton, Adam Faison, Drew Starkey. A take on Clive Barker’s 1987 horror classic where a young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites.

Not as good as the best Hellraiser (the first one), nor no where near as bad as the worst one (anything after the second), this 2022 Hulu exclusive release is eminently watchable. Odessa A’zion as the POV character does a fantastic job, the soundtrack is on point, and the cinematography is suitable for the genre. As always, I’m still not a big fan of the Cenobites, they’ve always felt a little too goofy to be taken seriously, even when they’re trying their best to be mysteriously horrifying. Up to the point that they showed up with their flayed flesh and pinned heads I was completely enamored by the story that was being told, but then they rolled in with their leather and latex and just goofed the whole place up.

It’s watchable and if you’re a fan of the franchise you’ll not want to miss it.

Jack

Jack: Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With Robin Williams, Diane Lane, Brian Kerwin, Jennifer Lopez. Because of an unusual disorder that has aged him four times faster than a typical human being, a boy looks like a 40-year-old man as he starts fifth grade at public school after being homeschooled.

If you were to tell me that Robin Williams really was a kid stuck in a full grown man’s body, it’d be easy to believe. The casting of this film is something else entirely with people like Bill Cosby, Jennifer Lopez, and Diane Lane filling out the on screen talent, they all seem like they work pretty well on screen but they’re also all from vastly different genres of movies in my experiences. They all work out though, if only through the sheer magical efforts of Robin Williams with the superb directing from Francis Ford Coppola.
