For some reason the scene where he tries to kill himself and calls Christopher walkens character and then apologizes for calling. Then Christopher lies and says like no problem I was watching TV and then asks if he’s okay always touches my heart.
"Do you think he stuck a bomb up his butt?" WOW, I mean, that was actually how the film ended on the deleted version. He made it to the house and smiled and blew up. It was changed for this better ending, but you picked that one 100% correct. Well done.
I agree. Really nice couple. I'm a senior and since Covid I'm pretty much at home, so re-watching great movies through reaction videos is my new favorite thing. Feels like I'm watching with friends. PEACE to ALL.
Throughout my life in my solitude, I have found that service to/with others gives me a small ray of light, just trying to help. Give it a shot, if I cannot be happy, then I will at least be useful.
Such a great film. Your desired “ass blaster” ending almost made the final cut: “In the original filmed ending, Creasy does not die in the car on the way to The Voice's house. The two meet and chat for a while about the price of human life. Creasy continually looks down at his watch. When the timer reaches zero, Creasy smiles. Then, the entire house explodes. This implies that Creasy used the rectal bomb that he used on Fuentes earlier in the film. Tony Scott cut the scene, because he felt that it did not fit in with the tone of the film.”
@@razkable Creasy knew that the people supplying the reporter with information had all the pieces to finish the job. The former Interpol agent wasn't lying when he said he wants to get them as much as Creasy, the fact that he went in that very same day shows his impatience and unwillingness to allow them time to escape.
This is one of my favorite Denzel movies. It's criminally underrated. IMO it doesn't get much better than this. There are so many awesome Denzel movies to choose from. My vote is for Fallen. I. LOVE. FALLEN.
Add "Glory" to that list. It's really an ensemble movie but Denzel gives a powerful powerful performance. One that doesn't get much play is "Ricochet". I thought that was a good movie but you may want to add it to the Patreon poll.
I’d agree with both of those. Another one that I always thought was kinda cool is “The Fallen”. Sort of a supernatural crime thriller. Not exactly his most popular, but I liked it.
If I could, I would recommend *_The Siege_* from 1998, definitely a movie that young people today need to see to understand how horrific terrorism really is.
So it is decided there needs to be a Denzel month! Man on Fire is one of my favorite movies! The song where he said he was going to kill everyone is Nine Inch Nails "The Mark Has Been Made" just makes the scenes so much better.
Fun fact: this movie is a remake of the 1987 movie of the same name. Scott Glenn starred as Krese in that movie. Denzel Washington and Scott Glenn were both in Training Day. 2 actors who played the same character in Man on Fire played opposite each other in that movie.
Man on Fire is phenomenal and Denzel is sensational in it! So, with the bar set so high, understand the gravity of my statement when I say that Training Day is even better.
The Old Testament describes how people who sacrifice themselves to save innocents are provided a path the afterlife where anything they have done bad in their lives is forgiven. I wanted him to have the C4 with a timer 'you know where' (with the obvious results) until I remembered that passage in the bible.
You two nailed it with the bomb up Denzel’s but to kill the bad guy. Check out the extras, there is an alternate ending that you’ll be pleasantly surprised with, or not!
Denzel always gives a great performance. Please check out these other films of his: The Equalizer 1 & 2, The Book of Eli, Training Day, John Q, Fallen, Virtuosity.
Denzel is awesome!! Most of his movies hit the mark and even when they don't he still outshines most of the cast to make even a bad movie worth while. That being said, my list of favourites and ones that you should watch are as follows: Fallen The Bone Collector Inside Man Deja Vu Unstoppable Flight The Equalizer Fences The Magnificent Seven
Good list. Id not long left school when the bone collector came out. Watched it with some people on a barge. Fallen is a cult classic... 'timmmmme is on my side, yes it is' 😉😊😂
American gangster Malcolm x Training day The book of eli John Q Remember the titans Courage under fire The pelican brief Philadelphia The hurricane He got game Glory
@@razkable There are a lot of wealthy white people who live in Mexico so it’s plausible. Also they likely just wanted Dakota Fanning in it. She was pretty popular as a child actress. I personally didn’t even think about it when watching the movie beyond the first few minutes when I didn’t really think Peta looked mixed race. I thought maybe the dad was her step father, but guess not. That parts a little hard to believe.
Hell yes!!!! I love this movie. Denzel is amazing, he's so good at showing emotion and the little girl has the best performance I've ever seen in a child
"Fallen" and "Bone Collector" are my two fave Denzel films, though he's amazing in everything he's done.... The character Mariana that helps Denzel in this film is played by Rachel Ticotin. She's probably most famous for her role in "Total Recall" (1990), another fantastic film you should check out, if you haven't already.
Fallen is great, but I've always had a bone to pick with it. There was a book which didn't have S.King kind of attention which basically told that story--Valley of Lights. VoL is just barely better than Fallen, but then books are usually better than movies.
Training Day is one of my favorite movies. Great performances all around in that movie. From Denzel and Ethan Hawk. Then you also get some really good scenes with Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre! I think every scene in that movie has something great in it.
This is a great film and your reaction was quite entertaining. I’m just a little surprised that you didn’t discuss the amazing performance by Dakota Fanning. She was only 9 or 10 at the time of filming and she was absolutely wonderful. She held her own against a powerhouse like Denzel at such a tender age. She’s phenomenal with a worthy catalogue of her own that you may want to check out. Some Denzel classics to add to your list are Unstoppable, Glory, and Courage Under Fire. Thanks for always bringing it.
Dakota Fanning is amazing in this movie, she does a great job as Pita making Creasy fall in love with and just win him over. She's a little rascal in a bunch of these scenes and you love it.
Both Dakota and her sister Elle Fanning were amazing child actors. Although it seems like only Elle made a decent transition to the adult acting arena. Also a significant, the film Unstoppable was also directed by Tony Scott as Man on Fire was - but sadly he committed suicide not longer after making Unstoppable his final film. After already having another brother die of cancer in the 80s it's been a nasty turnout for Ridley Scott 😟
One of Denzel Washington's best performances, I love this movie alot and I still get emotional when he dies. There are so many great quotables in the movie. Creasy's art is death and he is about to paint his masterpiece. I hope you guys continue down the Denzel rabbit hole, I'm here for it. 💯💯💯
Original is from 1987 , set to Italy , is 1 h shorter and has Joe Pesci in it ... Scott Glenn plays the main role in that , he was FBI chief in Silence of the lambs .
This was an awesome choice by Thumper! Next you have to watch Training Day. It’s another great one. Heck even add Denzel’s first film “Carbon Copy” to your list. It’s often overlooked in his filmography but it’s really good with some funny moments. Great reaction 👍🏾
I recall seeing this a long time ago once it came out on DVD when BlockBusters still ruled the world. I had a friend who told me the movie made him cry at the end, so I was intrigued. He was right, Dakota Fanning as Pita just melts Creasy's heart with an amazing performance and Denzel is just Denzel. I always shed a tear at the end. What a great movie.
Awesome movie. I truly love the camera work that they do in this. Its crazy that you mention creasy sticking a bomb in himself, because that's in the alternate ending. My fav Denzel Movies are Ricochet, Malcolm X, Remember The Titans, Man on Fire, John Q, American Gangsta.
Denzel is one of our greatest actors ... period. There are literally dozens of wonderful movies he's been in, and those I didn't care for wasn't because of Denzel (he's great in everything he does). Here are just a few of my favorites (in no particular order): Man on Fire and Crimson Tide (which you've already reacted to), Training Day, The Equalizer, Equalizer 2, Fallen, Safe House, Deja Vu, Inside Man, and of course, Glory.
This is his best action thriller film. There's a fun fan theory in which Man on Fire and The Equalizer are all part of the same universe, which is cool since there's elements that align nicely to make up an entire story arc.
Another great Denzel Washington movie. Dakota Fanning did an amazing job playing the little girl Lupita. If you haven't seen Léon: The Professional (1994) with another great child actress (Natalie Portman) put it on your list! 😉 Two similarly themed movies where a lesser cast and direction woudln't have worked.
Ya it’s rare to get a good performance that’s 💯% legit from a child actor, but when you see it, it’s instantly hitting you… Dakota in this was superb, and yes Natalie in The Professional is another one of those roles, I forget how old DiCaprio was in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, maybe like 14-15 and he absolutely was amazing to pull that off at that age.. but it’s def few and far between you get such range and emotion from any young actor under 18
Denzel was in "The Equalizer" based on an old TV show that was based in the 80's. Yes I know Queen Latifah is in the modern show but there was a show in the 80's that was real good and ran for about 6 seasons.
Not only is this one my favorite Denzel films but also one of my favorite Tony Scott films. This was a remake of the 1987 version with Scott Glenn set in Italy instead of Mexico, that Tony Scott wanted to direct but was turned down just after coming off of Top Gun. My other favorite TS/DW collaboration was their last film Unstoppable which was also TS’s final film.
RE 18:20 Fun fact - the music being played when Cressey is saying he's going to kill everyone is titled "The Only Way Out is Through" from Nine Inch Nails album "The Fragile"
Deja Vu is a must watch. The Tony Scott and Denzel combo is killer entertainment, and Deja Vu is my personal favourite between the two. Rather ridiculous, a bit excessive but such an intriguing concept (pure popcorn entertainment)
You should check out Fallen, Denzel stars in this highly underrated film. It's really memorable and you'll never hear "Time is on My Side" (Rolling Stones) the same way again.
45 year old grown man here, I watch this more than yearly, and I still say that if you don't get tears at the end of this, you have no soul...you guys should watch the BTS of this movie, Denzel said this is one of those times when he had to be on his A game because she knew her lines and his lines and would correct him playfully, and he knew she was going places in Hollywood instantly, and he wasn't wrong
One of the greatest movies its so deep so sad love it. Dakota & Dez rocked this movie I think one of the greatest movies next to this one is Law abiding Citizen might be the best movie ever. Worth watching if you ever get a chance to see it.
this is one of my favorite revenge movies and it is one of denzels best preformances (from the many ones he has ) he has some movies that are awsome aswel but fly under the radar : out of time , the manchurian candidate , taking of pelham 1.2.3 are very good action movies but are not as much spoken about , his preformances in malcolm x and training day are my favorites
Love watching your reactions. You guys are both so genuine. Denzel us one of the best actors of our time. This was one of his best. Also some of my favorites are Glory, Bone Collector, John Q, and Fallen. But all his movies are great and you can't go wrong. Also Fences is very good.
One of my all time favorite movies and imo one of Denzel Washington best performances, but than again Denzel have so many great performances that it's hard to really choose 💯
That little girl had him wrapped around her finger and she held his heart and soul in her little hand!!!!.... i k iw!!! My friends' 10 year old has me the same way!! I am a 6'7 marshmellow!!!😊
Been waiting for y'all to do a reaction on this. I watch every few weeks, because I really love this movie. A good movie to take notes off of. ;-) The hand duct tape to the steering wheel scene. The Book of Eli is a good one in my opinion. The Equalizer 1&2 are good. I haven't seen Unstoppable. Must add it to my list.
The real story happened in Spain or Italy. If I remember right. And the girl ended up in a asylum because one of the kidnappers was a pedo. The first movie was in the late 80s.
You know Denzel is a great actor when he is in a film with Christopher Walken, and Walken can't steal the show. I actually forget Walken is in this movie everytime until I watch it again. There is a lot of movies were Walken is the ONLY thing I remember.
One of my favorite movies. I also recommend you to watch Training Day and American Gangster. These two movies, along with Man on Fire, are in my opinion the best movies starring Denzel Washington.
this and double jeopardy, twisted, kiss the girls, along came a spider, the bone collector, man apart, high crimes, a time to kill , etc are mine and my grandma's favorite movies.
You should watch another Denzel Washington movie like this one: The Equalizer, based on the 1980's TV series, where he plays a former CIA operative turned vigilante. You'll love it! It's impressive!
One of Denzel's best performances. The book was very different - the girl is murdered and he basically kills everyone responsible. Not as moving as this ending.
Its actually a remake of a 1987 version by the same name. Scott Glenn played the Denzel role, Joe Pesci played Walken role. This is one of the few times I wasn't disappointed in the remake.
Other than Man On Fire, the Denzel movies I really like are: - Training Day - John Q - Out Of Time - Deja Vu - Unstoppable - The Taking Of Pelham 123 - The Siege
Great vibes you two. Awesome you don't cut a movie down to twelve minutes. That being said.. 'Training Day.' Woah. Way up there. And I loved 'Man on Fire.'
Virtuosity was a childhood favorite that may not have aged well, but he is with Russell Crowe as the antagonist. Training Day, Inside Man. Denzel is great in everything.
You guys did a good job with the ending there.. I am a 30 yo man and i was shedding tears at that scene on the bridge. had to hold it back just watching this reaction video. One of my all time favorite films and this is close to Denzel's best performance, but i still think Training Day is his best.
I thought the same thing that she thought. As it turns out, that was the original ending; they even shot it. He goes out in a ball of fire. That's why they made it a point to show the other one.
My baby mama and I went to this spur of the moment. Not know what movie was about, but Denzel was in it. One of my all time movies ever watched in theatres cause I wasn’t expecting it to be such a banger, same with ex 😅
If y'all liked this movie then I would recommend watching "Get The Gringo" starring Mel Gibson. It's underrated gem. Also, another great Denzel Washington movie that y'all should watch is "Fallen"
One of his best and probably most underrated performances is the movie Fallen. I'm not sure why it doesn't get more notice. Would also be kind of perfect for spooky season.
For some reason the scene where he tries to kill himself and calls Christopher walkens character and then apologizes for calling. Then Christopher lies and says like no problem I was watching TV and then asks if he’s okay always touches my heart.
Touches everyone’s heart. I think I saw a tear in even my Dad’s eye.
"a man can be an artist at anything... - ...hes about to paint his masterpiece." awesome quote.
"Do you think he stuck a bomb up his butt?" WOW, I mean, that was actually how the film ended on the deleted version. He made it to the house and smiled and blew up. It was changed for this better ending, but you picked that one 100% correct. Well done.
This is true. Mercifully, the scene was at least made available on the film's DVD release.
He didn't kill them because they didn't kill Pita. He kept his word.
He did it in the alternate ending.
Damn, I like that ending better. I want to see that version
@@Xfactor444-x4n its on the DVD, probably on TH-cam.
You both are so nice and genuine. Don't mean to get all bluberry on you, but your videos make me feel less alone. Truly a kind service. Best wishes

Yeah he was right, that ending is way to cheesy in tone.

That means the girl will be safe in the future...the way it ends its open ended...they can return and will now that their hostage died

This is one of my favorite Denzel movies. It's criminally underrated. IMO it doesn't get much better than this.
There are so many awesome Denzel movies to choose from. My vote is for Fallen. I. LOVE. FALLEN.
Personal top 3 Denzel movies(in no particular order)
-this
-Fallen
-Inside Man
Add "Glory" to that list. It's really an ensemble movie but Denzel gives a powerful powerful performance. One that doesn't get much play is "Ricochet". I thought that was a good movie but you may want to add it to the Patreon poll.
I’d agree with both of those. Another one that I always thought was kinda cool is “The Fallen”. Sort of a supernatural crime thriller. Not exactly his most popular, but I liked it.
Glory is a fantastic film!
Another great Black History Month film.
Ricochet was great doesn't get enough love . Lyndsey Wagner ( the bionic woman) john lithgow as well
@@shanenolan8252 been trying to get jimmy macram also to watch that. Great movie
Coldest line: "Did you tell her goodbye?....well, here's your chance!"
One of Denzel’s Best! Definitely keep them coming, his whole catalog is top tier…I’m here for it!!!! 💯💯💯
Don't forget "Glory" & "John Q"
“Flight”, and “Fallen”
@@MikeB12800 Second, third, and fourth for Fallen..... Amazing flick.
@@brianjones8432 wish more reactors would react to it! Great movie for a reaction vid!! Great movie overall!!
If I could, I would recommend *_The Siege_* from 1998, definitely a movie that young people today need to see to understand how horrific terrorism really is.
So it is decided there needs to be a Denzel month! Man on Fire is one of my favorite movies! The song where he said he was going to kill everyone is Nine Inch Nails "The Mark Has Been Made" just makes the scenes so much better.
I knew I recognized that song as NIN! I am so glad to see it confirmed, I almost went and looked it up cuz I was so sure
The song that played towards the end of the movie is pure genius idea its like the music that plays at the end of Saw movie franchise
Fun fact: this movie is a remake of the 1987 movie of the same name. Scott Glenn starred as Krese in that movie. Denzel Washington and Scott Glenn were both in Training Day. 2 actors who played the same character in Man on Fire played opposite each other in that movie.

LOL so say we all!
Man on Fire is phenomenal and Denzel is sensational in it! So, with the bar set so high, understand the gravity of my statement when I say that Training Day is even better.
24:17 the best line in the movie
The Old Testament describes how people who sacrifice themselves to save innocents are provided a path the afterlife where anything they have done bad in their lives is forgiven. I wanted him to have the C4 with a timer 'you know where' (with the obvious results) until I remembered that passage in the bible.

You two nailed it with the bomb up Denzel’s but to kill the bad guy. Check out the extras, there is an alternate ending that you’ll be pleasantly surprised with, or not!
That man was so pissed he literally couldn't die until she was safe.
Denzel always gives a great performance. Please check out these other films of his: The Equalizer 1 & 2, The Book of Eli, Training Day, John Q, Fallen, Virtuosity.
The Book of Eli, would be a perfect fit for reactions
The bone collector
Deja vu.
You picked a winner! This movie is iconic!
Denzel is awesome!! Most of his movies hit the mark and even when they don't he still outshines most of the cast to make even a bad movie worth while. That being said, my list of favourites and ones that you should watch are as follows:

Inside Man
Deja Vu
Unstoppable
Flight
The Equalizer
Fences
The Magnificent Seven
Good list.

Don't forget Training Day. He won an Oscar due to his performance in that movie. It was amazing.

Another Denzel movie is Devil in a Blue Dress.

"Fallen" and "Bone Collector" are my two fave Denzel films, though he's amazing in everything he's done....

Devil In a Blue Dress is a hugely underrated Denzel gem. Plus it was the first time I ever saw Don Cheadle, who's also amazing in it.

You should check out Fallen, Denzel stars in this highly underrated film. It's really memorable and you'll never hear "Time is on My Side" (Rolling Stones) the same way again.
YES. IT. IS.
John Goodman killed this movie.
@@ReallyGoodandKind damn right he did
Ricochet with lithgow and IceT
So true about that song. Same with “Little red riding hood” from the Bruce Willis movie Striking Distance
@@Hortonfantastic4 Reece Witherspoon and Keifer Sutherland in *FREEWAY.*
45 year old grown man here, I watch this more than yearly, and I still say that if you don't get tears at the end of this, you have no soul...you guys should watch the BTS of this movie, Denzel said this is one of those times when he had to be on his A game because she knew her lines and his lines and would correct him playfully, and he knew she was going places in Hollywood instantly, and he wasn't wrong
24:21 I feel you, Mrs. Movies.
One of the greatest movies its so deep so sad love it. Dakota & Dez rocked this movie I think one of the greatest movies next to this one is Law abiding Citizen might be the best movie ever. Worth watching if you ever get a chance to see it.
This is my literal favorite movie!!! You guys are funny. Keep it up!!
in my top 3 movies!! i am 32 and remeber seeing this as a kid!! Denzel is perfect
"Do you think he has a bomb up his butt?" My exact thoughts the first time I watched this. 😂
this is one of my favorite revenge movies and it is one of denzels best preformances (from the many ones he has ) he has some movies that are awsome aswel but fly under the radar : out of time , the manchurian candidate , taking of pelham 1.2.3 are very good action movies but are not as much spoken about , his preformances in malcolm x and training day are my favorites
Omg how tf y'all not crying!
Love watching your reactions. You guys are both so genuine. Denzel us one of the best actors of our time. This was one of his best. Also some of my favorites are Glory, Bone Collector, John Q, and Fallen. But all his movies are great and you can't go wrong. Also Fences is very good.
On DVD there is an alternative ending you should watch. ;)
Book and adaptation in 1987, with Scott Glenn, are set in Italy. In the books Creasy survived and there are following books.
One of my all time favorite movies and imo one of Denzel Washington best performances, but than again Denzel have so many great performances that it's hard to really choose 💯
Oh snap! This is such an amazing movie! I can't wait to watch this one 🙌
That little girl had him wrapped around her finger and she held his heart and soul in her little hand!!!!.... i k iw!!! My friends' 10 year old has me the same way!! I am a 6'7 marshmellow!!!😊
Good reaction. I thought Denzel was the best in "Malcolm X". But he was also good in the ensemble cast of "Out of Time"
i thought i was the only one that enjoyed Out Of Time!
Been waiting for y'all to do a reaction on this. I watch every few weeks, because I really love this movie. A good movie to take notes off of. ;-) The hand duct tape to the steering wheel scene. The Book of Eli is a good one in my opinion. The Equalizer 1&2 are good. I haven't seen Unstoppable. Must add it to my list.
The real story happened in Spain or Italy. If I remember right. And the girl ended up in a asylum because one of the kidnappers was a pedo. The first movie was in the late 80s.
You know Denzel is a great actor when he is in a film with Christopher Walken, and Walken can't steal the show. I actually forget Walken is in this movie everytime until I watch it again. There is a lot of movies were Walken is the ONLY thing I remember.
Like Joe Dirt
"Hey you're talkin to my boy all wrong. Do it again, I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron."
One of my favorite movies.
I also recommend you to watch Training Day and American Gangster. These two movies, along with Man on Fire, are in my opinion the best movies starring Denzel Washington.
One of my favorites movies !!! If you haven’t watched Equalizer with Denzel… you’re missing a great movie 🎥!!!!
John Q is often overlooked, but it's a good Denzel movie that's also regrettably ever-relevant.
this and double jeopardy, twisted, kiss the girls, along came a spider, the bone collector, man apart, high crimes, a time to kill , etc are mine and my grandma's favorite movies.
You should watch another Denzel Washington movie like this one: The Equalizer, based on the 1980's TV series, where he plays a former CIA operative turned vigilante. You'll love it! It's impressive!
I loved both movies
Denzel’s best performances/movies:
1 Man On Fire
2 Training Days
3 Glory
Very good reaction. If you love Denzel in this, you'd love him in The Equalizer. Great job. 👍
One of Denzel's best performances. The book was very different - the girl is murdered and he basically kills everyone responsible. Not as moving as this ending.
Its actually a remake of a 1987 version by the same name. Scott Glenn played the Denzel role, Joe Pesci played Walken role.
This is one of the few times I wasn't disappointed in the remake.
Denzel's two Oscars are for "Training day" and "Glory". You must watch both movies
"Back to back request from our grandparents" 😂
Well I'm not American nor this old but I got the point
You're gonna like "Law Abiding Citizen"!
Other than Man On Fire, the Denzel movies I really like are:
- Training Day
- John Q
- Out Of Time
- Deja Vu
- Unstoppable
- The Taking Of Pelham 123
- The Siege
Deja Vu is so good!
Great vibes you two. Awesome you don't cut a movie down to twelve minutes. That being said.. 'Training Day.' Woah. Way up there. And I loved 'Man on Fire.'
Training Day, American Gangster, Fallen and The Equalizer! Need to put all of those on the list!
Done! On the list!
Deja vu is a great movie with Denzel Washington........highly recommended.....
Still to this day one of my fav movies!!!!
Training Day is my favorite Denzel performance with this movie being a close second. "John Q" is another great movie of his, highly recommend.
"The human torch was denied a house loan! The arsonist has oddly shaped feet!" - Ron Burgundy
Virtuosity was a childhood favorite that may not have aged well, but he is with Russell Crowe as the antagonist. Training Day, Inside Man. Denzel is great in everything.
You guys did a good job with the ending there.. I am a 30 yo man and i was shedding tears at that scene on the bridge. had to hold it back just watching this reaction video. One of my all time favorite films and this is close to Denzel's best performance, but i still think Training Day is his best.
The end music acting all of it is perfect
Brooklyn here!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Christopher Walken acting in this movie awesome sauce!!!
My favorite movie of all time what a perfectly done movie
I thought the same thing that she thought. As it turns out, that was the original ending; they even shot it. He goes out in a ball of fire. That's why they made it a point to show the other one.
My baby mama and I went to this spur of the moment. Not know what movie was about, but Denzel was in it. One of my all time movies ever watched in theatres cause I wasn’t expecting it to be such a banger, same with ex 😅
If y'all liked this movie then I would recommend watching "Get The Gringo" starring Mel Gibson. It's underrated gem. Also, another great Denzel Washington movie that y'all should watch is "Fallen"
i bought the dvd back in the days and there was an alternetive ending, when creasey was dying in the car he had a grenade in his hand.
One of his best and probably most underrated performances is the movie Fallen. I'm not sure why it doesn't get more notice. Would also be kind of perfect for spooky season.
