Warlock (1989)
I guess that dismissing a film about a time travelling wizard (sorry, Warlock) as preposterous nonsense is redundant, but I'm doing it anyway.
Quite enjoyable at times, although the director might have been more attentive in reminding Richard E. Grant to keep up whatever accent he was meant to be doing (Scots, I think, although who knows). Julian Sands, as the titular villain, does smug quite well, but other emotions tend to come across as though he's smelt someone else's flatulence in a lift, and is trying to figure out who dealt it.
The female lead is cursed to age twenty years each day, a process that consists of her hair getting longer and greyer, and her voice more crochety, so far as I can tell.
Not to be confused with Warlock (1959), a superior Western starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn.
