Alex Gibney's Oscar-winning 2008 TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE receives a second chance at making a first impression after failing to grab audiences via a proper theatrical pattern release.
Adapted by Mark Protosevich, this is based on the comicbook franchise that launched in 1962. This follows a disabled medical student Donald Blake, who has an alter ego as the hammer-wielding Norse god Thor a blonde-tressed, hammer-wielding hero who's sent to Earth to protect mankind.
1982's The Verdict and in his only Oscar win and reprisal of the Fast Eddie character in 86's The Color of Money are part of my fond memories but I’ll remember him like many other French Canadians will – as part of a minor league hockey team that gave our national pastime a bad name in Slapshot.
