The Shadow 

 

Every so often I am interested in some campy movie. Maybe I want to share it with our children. Maybe I want to see how it will review on the Family Friendly Gaming review scale. Maybe I am curious to see how time has been to it. Whatever the case I knew The Shadow on DVD would be something. It was definitely something else. We learn the origins of this hero from what I think is the 1930s.

The issues families can have with The Shadow are violence, blood, lack of attire, enticement to lust, magic, bad language, alcohol, a demonic knife and more. The Shadow uses his mind to control others. So does his enemy the descendant of Genghis Khan. They are fighting over an atomic bomb that is going to go off in New York city. The Shadow does have a theme of redemption and community.

Alec Baldwin does a good job in The Shadow. He plays the character very believably. I guess that was before he lost his mind and went on a crusade attacking Christians and conservatives. The lesson there is too much time in Holly Weird will warp your mind. I love hearing about people who left Hollywood to get settled back into reality. Maybe that should be a requirement to work in that profession. Might help us find new interesting talents.

The Shadow teaches us to fight evil. The Shadow also teaches us to use our minds. There are some fascinating and cool scenes in The Shadow. I love the water one in that round building. The Shadow really needed to rely less on his invisibility and more on other talents. I do not understand how someone could hypnotize the entire city. What about people who do not live there and come in for a visit? Wouldn't they see the building?

There are some funny moments in this movie that takes one hour and forty eight minutes to watch. The plot in The Shadow is completely and totally predictable. I love the police commissioner in The Shadow. I remember him from other funny movies. He plays pretty stiff in The Shadow. The characters in The Shadow are definitely way over the top. There are little depth to most of them.
