#9 The Spirit

This one's for me.
The Movie: The Spirit. 2008. Written and Directed by Frank Miller. Staring: Gabriel MachtEva MendesSarah PaulsonDan LauriaPaz VegaScarlett Johansson. and Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus

The film that shall not be named really broke me yesterday. I wasn't sure I could stomach something as bad as that again (not that there is anything remotely that bad in existence) So, today I took it a little easier on myself. So today I watched a movie I have always loved, that I have been defending since I stepped out of the theater with my father and brother in 2008, Frank Miller's The Spirit

The movie follows Denny Colt/The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) an immortal(?) Invulnerable (?) noir detective (!) who is in a never ending war against The Octopus (Samuel L Jackson) an also immortal/invulnerable occult-obsessed-crime-kingpin-fashionista, who in each and every scene wears a new and ridiculous outfit. We see Jackson in an SS. uniform, a mad scientist number, samurai armor, like for real? if you love movies staring Cher or Madonna for the outfits this movie is for you.
