Pure gold...

I actually sat through the entireity of Enemy of the State for must have been the 4th or 5th time.  Is there a chemical imbalance in my head that I was unable to tuen away from this schlock?  Or was the dazzling array of stars to be that were encompassed by Voights posse: Loren Dean, J Busey, J Black, S Green, Barry Pepper, Scott Caan?  Either way - I watched the whole damn film on basic cable and felt flithy afterwards.  Let me be clear - this is no John Carpenters Vampires where you at least enjoy the pleasure of James Woods assualting a priest for no (including a presesence of a Baldwin - no the, but one), this was worse with much more Bruckheimerian spin....

I guess my defense for Enemy of the State is that there are a few movies that find myself watching over and over again - other films that are terrible but fall in to the same camp:  

• The Recruit (i have no excuse),
• the Hunted (only excuse is the 10 minutes that they spend at the end of the film devoted to T Lee Jones manufacturing a knife out of stone),
• Boondock Saints (mainly for Dafoe and Rocco's character), Tombstone (no explanation needed-actually a pretty good flic),
• Forces of Nature (I know that this is complete guilt pleasure, but it's a beautifully shot film much better than the acutal story),
• Fear & Deep Blue Sea (nothing need be mentioned on how spectaculary bad these films is)

I am sure there are many others that would make this list but none coming to me now this second.  Obviously Segal and Van Damme are excluded from this because they rep a completely different type of cinema.
