Constantine [film]
For people who've seen and know the movie. There's two parts I just didn't get: when John is granting Balthazaar absolution and he says you have to plead for it, why would the demon not want forgiveness? Besides, wouldn't god just sent him back to hell, which is where he was going to begin with? Also, mammon needs a powerful sourcerer to cross over. He already had isabel, what did he need angela for? What was the point of killing the first twin?

Isabel wasn't killed by Mammon. She killed herself (ie committed suicide which is why she went to hell) to prevent Mammon from using her to cross over. Because she killed herself, Mammon had to use Angela instead. Also, sending Balthazaar to hell is better than having him on Earth where he can hurt people.

As random as this question is, it made me happy.
Yay randomness.
Anyway, first part.
Demons only know hell. Its familiar, its where they feel they belong, for better or worse its home. Part of the whole "servant of evil" thing is that the servants are willing.
Being forgiven and going to heaven wouldn't make him any less evil, and wouldn't make him hate heaven and all its occupants any less. Being in heaven surrounded by people you hated pathologically would be, in fact, a personal hell.
No one could say whether a demon GOING to heaven would change him, but as most creatures are afraid of the unknown a servant of hell isnt going to want to find out.
Second part, I don't think they ever say. You could guess that it has something to do with her sister being insane, and unable to harness or control or accept her powers, thereby diminishing them. Remember that Angela denied her powers and eventually they vanished. Isabel could have done the same thing being alone and labeled insane and been somehow unsuitable for mammon's purposes.
Or, you could also say that that wouldn't have made as good a story and wouldnt have provided that lovely "Falling off the hospital onto a giant pane of glass into a pool" scene, and thats how hollywood works.
