The Shadow

The Shadow

A crime fighter created in the 1930s and popularized in movies, pulp novels, and a radio show starring a young Orson Welles, The Shadow came back to life in 1994 in this slick, well-cast production. Alec Baldwin stars as Lamont Cranston, a murderous opium dealer reformed by a Tibetan mystic, who teaches him how to use his keen mental powers to manipulate others. As penance for his past misdeeds, Cranston masquerades as a degenerate New York City playboy by day and secretly plays the heroic Shadow by night, staving off evildoers with a network of agents and a cab-driving sidekick (Peter Boyle). A greater challenge arrives when Cranston must fight Shiwan Khan (John Lone), the final descendent of Genghis Khan, who has received training from the same Tibetan master who instructed Cranston. Shiwan plans to use atomic weapons to take over New York and then the world. At the same time, Cranston meets socialite Margo Lane (Penelope Ann Miller), and, although he's instantly enamored of her, he discovers that her psychic abilities render his secret identity vulnerable. The Shadow was directed by former music video creator Russell Mulcahy, whose feature film debut Highlander (1986) was a cult classic. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

    On Singers Who Should Quit...

    maddalen101 said "Miley Cyrus has physical charisma, but is pushing her little voice too hard. She sings like one of those hard-voiced Broadway bricks, and probably already has vocal problems. She'll be done in another year. Whitney? Poor Whitney. Her world-class voice is a wreck. Britney catapulted her gulping nasal growl into stardom through her physical charisma. When not dolled up for stage, though, her trailer roots show. Ashlee's not, and never was, a singer. She was manufactured by her dad, and was fool enough to buy the hype. At least she got a rich husband out of it. "
