Hope everyone is well.<br /><br />I saw the movie this past Thursday. I enjoyed it. I didn't find it as deeply satisfying in an "Ultimate Questions" way I found <i>The Passion</i> or <i>The Exorcist</i>, but I'm happy to see Holywood taking the idea of evil as seriously as Constantine's makers did.<br /><br />Tim's right about Raphael. Book of Tobit I believe. And if you're willing to go outside Catholicism and Protestantism, I think the Talmud speaks of the patriarch Enoch being blessed by God with archangelic form when he left the Earth. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Nim'</b> <br /><small>Member # 205</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,26,12,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 26, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:52 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> We mustn't forget Tyrael also. :.)<br /><br />I haven't seen the movie yet, but I got a bad vibe from the movie poster where Constantine is holding a shotgun shaped like a cross, it reminded me of "From Dusk til Dawn" in a bad way.<br /><br />I'm going to see it, of course. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Lee</b> <br /><small>Member # 393</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,26,16,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 26, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:26 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> *IMDb's* Heh.
