Here are some more information for Ron Perlman:

Hungry? I'm usually thinking about my next meal, so maybe my love of fine cuisine is one of the reasons I really enjoyed The Last Supper.

Dark and Rainy

If you're looking for a movie that is filled with cookies and sunshine, then this is not the movie for you. The intro sequence for this movie consists of a series of rather disturbing paintings, setting a dark undertone that remains present until the final scene in the film.

Jude (Cameron Diaz), Pete (Ron Eldard), Paulie (Annabeth Gish), Marc (Jonathan Penner), and Luke (Courtney B. Vance) are a group of liberal graduate and PHd students who live together and enjoy weekly debates with a dinner guest.

When Luke's guest can't make it and he gets road help from a stranger (Bill Paxton) during a terrible thunderstorm, all of their lives are changed forever. An invite to dinner proves fatal for the stranger, who threatens Pete with a knife and is killed after a brief struggle. After burying the body in the back yard, our "heroes" are left to ponder the consequences of their actions, with shocking results.

Lasting Impressions

If you met a young Hitler in a bar before he had embarked on his political career, what would you do?

The theme of this movie is summarized by the above question posed by Luke during one of the debates, and various answers are proposed as the storyline progresses. The debates complement the character development, and we're left thinking about the consequences of the actions of the main characters, and not simply the questions they raise.

This movie is rated R for some sexual suggestion and violence, and the topic may not be considered appropriate for family viewing. If you're looking for a film that is thought-provoking, a little shocking, and is way off the path followed by blockbuster films out in theater right now, then this is the movie you should be watching.

With wonderful performances by the protagonists, excellent cameos by some recognizable faces (Jason Alexander does a terrific job, and Don Johnson is perfectly despicable), and an amazing finale with Ron Perlman, this movie really fits the bill for entertainment. Watch it, and you won't ever forget it.

Film Review: Stephen King's Desperation

It’s hard to believe that the duo behind the television version of The Stand and The Shining were responsible for this mess of a film Desperation. Based on the original novel by Stephen King (who also wrote the teleplay) Desperation tells the story of a group of wayward travelers who are abused and jailed by the sadistic police officer of the town of Desperation Collie Entragian (Ron Perlman). Slowly they begin to understand that Entragian has been taken over by a centuries old pagan god by the name of Tak who body hops from one person to the next for no particular reason. By the time the travelers have all come together (which includes Tom Skerritt, Steven Weber, Annabeth Gish, Charles Durning, and Matt Frewer, to name a few) Entragian/Tak has killed everyone in town.

What follows is a by the numbers King television movie with little imagination and even less excitement or action as the travelers first find themselves trapped in the police station then in an abandoned theatre and then off to battle Tak at the dig site where he was inadvertently awakened. The plays like dirty seconds to everything from It to Rose Red to The Tommyknockers to The Langoliers with little more imagination then any of those films had. Having directed several of Stephen King’s most beloved novels you’d think that Mick Garris would’ve brought the same drive to this project as he did to The Stand or Riding The Bullet, but instead this film is filled with nothing but stuff we’ve already seen and experienced before.

The greatest disservice goes to Perlman who disappears halfway through the film when Tak is done with his body and has to move on to another (although for some reason Tak keeps Perlman’s voice). Perlman is the only person given anything to play with in the film as the rest of the cast are just window dressing with little purpose in the overall scheme of the film.
