My Eyes never shut the entire movie!

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2002)

I have seen this movie three times. Once was at the theater. The next two times were on television. I believe that this was in true Kubrick fasion. It's rumored that Tom Cruise was so into his character that he insisted that people called him by his character's name. He even LIVED on the set. The movie follows the character by Tom Cruise and his obsession with sex and the underworld that it's taking place in. There is a lot to this movie. The only irritating thing about this movie was the dang piano. The soundtrack was a little strange but hence, Stanley. That's how Stan prefers to direct. He likes to tease his viewers with strange sounds that lure the viewer into the world that he creates. In EWS, the goods are delivered mostly by Tom Cruise. Nichole Kidman's character was forgettable as her character in To Die For. If it's strangeness that you desire, I would suggest seeing this movie. It's especially good for Tom Cruise fans. Seven out of ten thumbs up.
