Though I was just 14 when the eighties were over, I feel somehow linked to that unique decade. So, this film may have a certain bonus for me as it is situated in the early eighties. Nevertheless, it is a heart-warming, very funny and yet credible picture. Unlike other 80ies movies the typical cliches do not seem too exaggerated or unfitting. This movie could equally be done in the Eighties. On the other hand, in that case it would be lacking gorgeous Jessica Schwartz...

End of Days

I don´t get it -SPOILERS-
29 December 2002
Warning: Spoilers
I´ve just seen EoD for the first time. It was a quite enjoyable movie for a sundaynight. However, I have to say i´t has a disappointing stupid plot. I always had to wonder why that girl had to be saved. The efforts to save her caused the deaths of dozens other innocent people. I mean, in Terminator it was convincing to keep John (or Sarah) Connor alive, in order to save all mankind. The girl in EoD, however, was a danger as long as she´d be living! The fact that she wouldn´t be sacrified by those hardliners from the Vatican wouldn´t have any positive consequence for earth and all living. After all, I think, it´s quite hard to stay on the girl´s side throughout the entire movie.

I have to agree that it´s a fantastic documentary. I was very surprised to watch it on German TV, because I just stayed at Raymond Bilbool´s place in Hollywood for the second time. If you want to know him better (and you should, because he is even more entertaining, when you meet him an his friends personally), you should definetely consider to visit his Bed&Breakfast Inn in the Hollywood Hills.

Too many Wild Things
16 August 1999
I guess, the director enjoyed the excellent Wild Things, but his attempt to copy it in many ways did not really work. Too many illogical twists in the storyline did not surprise, but irritate me. However, it is nice to see Don Johnson appear on the big screen again. He and Ellen DeGeneres make the movie worth watching. I give it a 7.
