A new movie that opened on February 9, in Europe creating quite an uproar. It‘s called “Valley of the Wolves: Iraq.”

During the plot of the movie, U.S. soldiers attack a wedding party in Iraq. They drag prisoners off to Abu Ghraib. The soldiers then conspire with a Jewish doctor to harvest and sell the internal organs of the Arab prisoners.

Critics are calling it one of the worst anti-American propaganda films ever yet it stars two big Hollywood actors. One of the soldiers is played by Billy Zane of “Titanic” fame, and Gary Busey of “Point Break,” “Lethal Weapon” and “The Buddy Holly Story.”

Great idea for a film, ay?

Glen Beck been's talking about this today. For example, how can Gary Busey sleep at night after starring in this "film"?

This is disgraceful.

I don't get Gary Busey. One week he's found God, the next he's arrested (remember that ghastly mug shot of his), and now this. Weird.

And Hollywood continues to scratch their heads in puzzlement. Why the box office plummet?

I used to be a twice-a-week film watcher (in the theaters), but for the past 4 or 5 years, I've seen maybe 2 a year. Do I dare tell the Hollywood crowd that I DON'T MISS IT?

Busey has been whacked-out his entire life. Smashing his head on the pavement in a near-fatal motorcycle accident really pushed him over the top.

Billy Zane is a Vin Diesel wanna-be homo.

Actions speak louder than words Mr Busey.....I see him on TV talking about his Christian faith....I have always had my doubts but now it has been confirmed...

Maybe it's the first movie offer he's had since 1979.

In Busey's defense...he's quite insane.

(Don't know what Billy Zane's excuse is.)

Yes, people have a right to free expression.

They also have a right to use their heads and not be shills for the worst kind of propaganda.

Let's see someone try to make, say, a new version of Amos 'n Andy, or a movie about Muhammed's "child bride," and the talk from some would shift from "free expression" to "hate crime."

Kurtlar vadisi - Irak (IMDB)

Plot Summary:

A record breaker on Turkish TV for three seasons and now a phenomenon, "Valley of the Wolves" is now preparing to shake the world with the movie.

The story begins with a true story: "The Hood Event" On 2003, the 4th of July, allied American forces come to the unofficial, half-secret Turkish headquarters consisting of eleven people. The Turkish soldiers suppose that this an ordinary visit from their allies. But this time it is different. In the changing conjuncture, America wants to be the only power "calling the shots". To them, there is no place for Turks in the region any more; That day, eleven soldiers are deported with hoods on their heads with no respect to their soldier ship dignity and in front of the region's people;

It's all truth up to this point in the movie; In the story based on facts, Suleyman Aslan is one of those eleven soldiers. As first lieutenant, Suleyman, can't reconcile being insulted and surrendering with his honor. Therefore, he commits suicide and leaves a letter behind. The letter is addressed to Polat Alemdar; Polat Alemdar is a very specially trained Turkish intelligence agent. He has attended several missions in the country and abroad for a secret agency working for the state; Because of his last mission, he has no contact with the secret agency; Living by his missions, Polat Alemdar can't ignore the will of his friend who committed suicide for the sake of his duty. He is in Northern Iraq with his men now. To die for, if needed; They found a different situation than they expected in Northern Iraq. They were after the man who insulted the Turkish soldiers but they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the situation there.

The people of Iraq's values, personalities and history were completely being disregarded. The desired new order was forcing an unacceptable change on the people; The one who is responsible for these unendurable crimes against humanity is a special forces commander called Sam William Marshall and who was also responsible for the hood event. In order to carry out his plan, Sam W. Marshall raids the Arabian wedding where everyone from the region comes together. He kills tens of people. All are civilians. Leila, the bride of the wedding, loses her future groom in the killings. Apart from the people who were murdered there, also a lot of people are declared terrorists and arrested. Destiny shall intersect the paths of Polat and Leyla later fort he sake of the objective that both had ventured to die for; Sam William Marshall is now being chased by all of his sins, Polat and Leyla;

You will not forget the movie "Valley of the Wolves - Iraq" adorned with incredible action scenes and heartbreaking stories of humanity.

This reminds me of Richard Gere in the movie: Hachi-gatsu no kyôshikyoku where he apologies for dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan.

Gary Busey - I really and honestly don't think this guy even knows where he is half the time. If he wasn't famous, he'd probably be all set up with his own rubber room by now. Anyway, this all reminds me of the "Thanks Hollywood" billboard that was put up in Tinseltown right after the election.

Throw in a few gay cowboys and this thing is OSCAR GOLD. How many award records would that movie set?

That was a great billboard. Didn't hear much from the H-wood lefties after that, did we?

Busey probably doesn't sleep at night anyway. It's the crack, you know.

Yeah Chevy Chase must've really been chapped - he looks like his photo was taken through a fish-eye lens or a peephole!

And of course, Moore's photo doesn't even fit within the constraints of the billboards normal boarders - nice touch.
