Yeah, that piqued my interest in the theatre.
I actually have some stuff to say about ELI, because it's the kind of movie we sometimes reference, which is to say a movie that doesn't have any idea what the fuck it's trying to say.
Sometimes it seems to be pro-God/religion, but as a former born-again God-botherer I can tell you that the film's theology is all garbled even granting "God exists" as the magic beans; other times it seems fairly anti-religion but then that makes you wonder why it's being so pro-religion the rest of the time. I guess there's an argument to be made that it's pro-faith but anti-religion, but even that doesn't make much sense when you try to lay it over the top of the film itself.
Oh, and the twist is kind of dumb.
But I think I might be the only one on the panel who saw the flick.
