 EIGHT
LEGGED FREAKS
(2002)
David Bruce reviews: What do you get when you cross
toxic waste with a bunch of exotic spiders? Eaten. As every fan of classic
spine-tinglers knows, given the opportunity and the right chemical enhancement,
arachnids will grow to humongous size and wreak havoc upon humanity. |
 ELEKTRA
(2005)
Review by Mauric Broaddus:
Elektra, saved from her near-death experience by ninja collective The
Order of the Hand, is dispatched by Kirigi on a mission to kill the widower
Mark Miller -- a man who must pay for an act committed by his grandfather
years earlier. As she aligns herself with her target, however, Elektra
turns her back on the Order, putting her, Miller, and his daughter Abby,
in grave danger. |
 ELEPHANT
(2003)
Review by Darrel Manson: School violence, such as was seen in the tragedy
of Columbine, raises many questions, most of which start with "Why?"
In Gus Van Sant's Elephant, none of those questions are answered. Rather
he gives us a look at the events without being judgmental. It doesn’t
try to justify anything. It doesn’t try to explain anything. |
 ELF
(2003)
Review by Greg Wright: One Christmas Eve, a long time ago, a small baby
at an orphanage crawled into Santa’s bag of toys, only to go undetected
and accidentally carried back to Santa’s workshop in the North Pole. |
 ELIZABETH

This is a very powerful film about the power of religious faith. |

 ELLA
ENCHANTED (2004)
Review by Melinda Ledman: Ella Enchanted was a WONDERFUL little flick.
I came out of the theater smiling all over. It was clean, interesting,
and well developed. The character of Ella sets an excellent standard for
women and girls everywhere. |
 EMPEROR'S
CLUB (2002)
Review
by David Bruce: Arthur Hundert is a dedicated and inspiring Classics professor
who has devoted his life to teaching at an elite boys’ prep school.
When a new student, Sedgewick Bell, joins his class, it is a clash of
wills and personalities as these two people seemingly battle for the hearts
and souls of the other students at St. Benedictus. |
| 
THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE
(2000)
Self interest meets others.
|
 END
OF DAYS (1999)
The
anti-Christ. Deals with faith over violence.
|
 END OF THE AFFAIR (1999)
A woman is placed in a spiritual dilemma as she struggles with her continuing love for her former lover and God. |
 ENEMY
AT THE GATES (2001)
Betty Hamm reviews: It
is interesting to watch a fiercely fought battle over a city that is in
ruin. There is more rubble than buildings. Normality of life has stopped.
Few families have been left intact. Childhoods have been destroyed as
the children become spies and messengers. Fear is a normal condition here.
|
 END OF THE SPEAR (2006)
A powerful story of reconciliation, social justice and repentance. End of the Spear shows us a kind of radical peacemaking that, in fact, has the the power to transform enemies into friends, without the need for the “satisfaction” of justice. |
 ENEMY
OF THE STATE (1998)
Big brother is watching you. |
 ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM
Review by Darrel Manson: The opening shot in the film is a church tower with a sign that reads, “Jesus saves.” The camera pans back to show the corporate offices towering over this. Perhaps the filmmaker wanted to emphasize the way a corporate culture dwarfs the values that we want to have. But it also, I think, serves as a reminder as we enter the film that ultimately, self-interest is not the way of Christ. We remember that reconciliation with God comes by way of one who “emptied himself” for us. |
ERIN BROCKOVICH (2000)
An
inspirational look at the wonders of the human spirit and resolve. |
 ETERNAL
SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004)
Review by David Bruce and Darrel Manson: "Our lives are made up of
memories. Good memories. Bad memories. Memories that bring smiles to our
faces. Memories that dredge up pain we wish we could bury. Eternal Sunshine
of the Spotless Mind is a film built around memories and their destruction..."
|
ELLA
ENCHANTED (2004)
Review by Melinda Ledman: Ella Enchanted was a WONDERFUL little flick.
I came out of the theater smiling all over. It was clean, interesting,
and well developed. The character of Ella sets an excellent standard for
women and girls everywhere. |
 ET
THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL
20th Anniversary re-release
Ken Priebe reviews: Reflection on Spielberg's
own lonely childhood. Spielberg, who is Jewish. The indirect Christian
parallels in ET are mostly accentuated through our subconscious mind without
our even realizing it. |
 EVELYN
(2002)
Review by Darrel Manson: A story about the terrible struggle to unite
a family -- a struggle against the government that said it was trying
to do what was best. |
 EVER
AFTER (1998)
Powerful
story of salvation through the prince. |

 EVOLUTION
(2001)
David Bruce reviews: "Each
era has its chaos monsters. Its a way of describing evil in a mythological
manner. And each era has it own way of overcoming this embodiment of evil.
Current mythology is unique in that it presents, not just one chaos monster,
but multiple demon monsters to deal with..." |
 EYE
OF THE BEHOLDER (2000)
A father without a daughter and a daughter without a father collide. |
 THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE
Not since The Third Miracle have I seen a film that does such an effective job of challenging our presuppositions about the supernatural.
Overview (dial up speed) |
 THE
EXORCIST
(The Version You've Never Seen) (1973/2000)
This film strikes at our deepest fears. To
be possesed! |
 EXTREME
DAYS (2001)
Mike Furches reviews
"I would encourage readers to see this as soon as possible and if
you are smart you might even take a friend with you. It's exceptional
soundtrack and exciting movie trailers should help in drawing crowds into
the theater... |
