What a gem… This movie may actually make you feel sorry for Tammy Faye Bakker… or at least sympathize with her. After all, behind all that makeup is a real person. There is another side to every story, even if both sides are totally warped.

The Exorcist
This is one of the few movies that scared me when I was a kid. I was afraid that the devil would take over my soul or something. Of course I laugh about it now. I guess age destroys our childhood.
Existenz
I was expecting more. Everybody looks like they’re on Quaaludes.
Evolution
I saw this on a train ride from LA to Seattle… Well, I tried not to see it, but they played it like 5 times with the volume cranked up. Unless you’re in a similar situation, don’t bother with this. It’s not even worth fast-forwarding through.
Ever After
Drew Barrymore is Cinderella.. spoiler: they all live happily ever after! If I have to watch a love story on film, I guess this will do. One thing though… What does she see in him? He totally blows her off and she forgives him without even an apology? come on! I was expecting a little more Hollywood political correctness from this movie dammit! All in all, it was a good evening’s entertainment… although by some cruel twist of fate, I’ve now been forced to view this movie (or at least parts of it) about 6 times… enough already!!!!
Eyes Wide Shut
A fine although sad end to Stanley Kubrick’s career. I’m sorry that he didn’t make more movies, because all of them are really cool and uniquely stylish. I wish I had seen this on a big screen. I probably need to see it again in order to understand just what it was “really” about, but as far as I could tell it probed the fine line between thought and action – between fantasy and reality. Parts of this movie were almost a manifestation of those secret twisted thoughts that we all have. “she” had the thoughts & “he” acted on them. I could write more, but I’m afraid I’m out of my league. See this movie.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I wish someone could wipe my memory clean, so I could experience this movie for the first time, over and over and over again. Even Jim Carrey couldn’t mess this up – it was that good.
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Damn, which one was this? I know I saw them all…
Escape from Alcatraz
Interesting how low-budget this seems. There’s virtually no score and the lighting is really pretty bad. Yet, it does work. I couldn’t help thinking if this was made today, how much more they’d make our hearts leap – thinking they were going to get caught again and again and again in an emotional roller-coaster. From that aspect it was a little refreshing. That lack of constant tension made it a bit more real.
Erik The Viking
I can’t believe that my TV guide (which I’m using as a memory cue) gave this movie 1 star! what the hell? It was fun through and through, and totally original.
Enter The Dragon
Bruce Lee’s big Hollywood movie… and probably his worst. Who the hell was that stupid looking washed-up surfer turned “karate-man”? This could have been done so much better. Still, there are a few great moments of classic Bruce.
The English Patient
A seriously boring movie. Nothing frickin happens. Who cares?
Enemy Mine
A well done movie that is less about aliens, and more about human nature. Can’t we all just get along? This movie shows still more reasons why war is stupid. I liked the way the characters in the movie changed throughout the story. The transition is done well, and it all makes sense – they don’t just start liking eachother for no reason.
The Endurance
A bunch of hardy polar explorers get in a wee bit of a tough spot, but manage to work things out (after they eat their dogs and such). We’re such wimps now-a-days.
The Elephant Man
Great movie, very sad. Isn’t it amazing how powerful a person’s appearance can be? I mean – how defined we are by our appearances. I wonder how the actual elephant man would have flourished with the Internet.
