ET is a movie that, to me, hasn't stood the test of time very well.

I watched it last week, I thought it stood up rather well.

Poltergiest, however, now blows.

ACK!

I just bought 'Time Bandits' on DVD because I remembered really liking it when it came out. I watched it with the family last week and even though it had its moments, it seemed incredibly dated now.

I just watched it a few weeks ago, I thought it was still great. A very fun movie that a kids can like but still has enough twisted humor to appeal to kids.

I never liked ET, even as a kid. Bored me.

Of course, my wife gets her first free movie something that is completely unwatchable:

The Reckoning

"In 14th-century England, a young monk breaks his vow of chastity and flees the wrath of his bishop and fellow monks. A fugitive priest, he then witnesses the murder of a traveling performer--and subsequently, the mourning of actor by his fellow troupe members. He eventually becomes initiated into the troupe as a player, replacing the murdered man. They travel from town to town performing their standard morality play. They arrive in a town where a boy has been killed and a young deaf-mute girl has been imprisoned for the crime--sentenced to death for witchcraft and murder. Discarding the expected bible stories, the actors stage a performance based on the crime. Through the performance of the play, they discover that the townspeople know the young woman did not, in fact, commit the murder. The stage becomes a place where vital human truth is told. Thus, simultaneously, the fugitive priest comes to terms with his own crime and makes a powerful sacrifice, thereby redeeming himself."



This thrillride of a movie grossed a whopping $275,000 in its release.
