Seriously. It was years ago now(obviously) but 5 minutes in I thought there are made for TV movies better then this, and the awful special effects.
I also thought it was rather silly when they show an androgynous character as representative of evil. Silly homophobia at best, just bad film making.
Total garbage.
How was Eden androgynous? Besides which, he stated that he was married before. I really love this movie. I think it's both original and a great story. My how good Heath looked back then. What a great actor, what a great loss.
And the cinematography is great, if some of the special effects aren't the best.
It really puts me into this other world-like state.

I made my friends watch this in theater with me. I was very stubborn about theater movies. It was usually my way or no way. My friends didn't like it, but I thought it was fine. I can't remember anything about it now, but I didn't think it was terrible. But I was a 17 year old in love with Heath Ledger. So I was very biased. I had seen A Knight's Tale in theater with them as well and was just in love...had to try and spin it in the "William Thatcher is in this!" kind of way to convince them to see it. The year before I dragged them to see Insomnia with me because I really loved Memento. They hated that one, too. I didn't go to the theater often at all...and if I went it was because I wanted to watch something really badly. I think there could have been WAY worse movies I could have seen. When I've let other people pick, I've seen movies like Mr. Deeds in theater.
shareOh you poor thing--Mr. Deeds?! One of the worst movies ever made. They shouldn't have remade something that was perfect to begin with. They didn't like Insomnia? That's one of my favorite movies. But then, I'm a huge Al Pacino fan but I thought it was very gripping. This movie was okay to me. Nothing fabulous but interesting enough to watch all the way through.

The less said about this junk, the better!
shareI never saw this in a movie theatre. Saw it when it was first released on DVD and again recently on Film Four. It's not my favourite film, but I find it entertaining and I have seen things that I think are worse (won't list them here as it's off topic). I have an eclectic taste in films and this was quite fun to watch for me. But that's just me.
