Review of The Crow

The Crow (1994)
It can't rain all the time… except in the movies and in Hawaii.

A lovely bit of goth that takes place in a city where fun-lovin' villains rule the streets and cops eat junk food at local diners… a LOT. A lovely place where it is always night, and always raining. But it can't rain all the time! In the beginning of the movie a tragedy takes place, a couple is murdered by the local crime scene. Business as usual, unfortunately the guy doesn't seem to stay dead, he climbs out of his grave a year later deep in sorrow and anger. Not so deep, however, that he neglects such important tasks as putting on make up and looking cool and stylish, if this guy is so good in his time of sadness, I'd love to see him in the better years. So the boy friend is alive and well and (as a slight bones) invincible. Rather then wondering what he is doing back on earth and how to get that lovely girl lying next to him out to be with him, he goes on a classy rampage to kill everyone who wronged him on that dire day. He does. As for the fun-lovin' villains, they aren't having no fun! The local crime boss is dissatisfied with life and wishes it involved more spontaneous anarchy. I can see how in his structured mob where everyone has their place, their value, their territory, and their boss a bit of anarchy could be called for. Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie, it really is, but I find making fun of it a bit greater.
