"Valley of Elah," Lions for Lambs", "Redacted"...Sheesh. Doesn't anybody make movies anymore?
Let's see.... Haggis and Sarandon? PASS!
Redacted:Haven't heard anything about it other than the director Brian de Palma is strongly oposed to the war. PASS!
Lions for Lambs:Lions for Lambs begins after two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Pena), follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Robert Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student (Andrew Garfield) who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to give a bombshell story to a probing TV journalist (Meryl Streep) that may affect Arian and Ernest's fates.
Let's see.... Redford, who has said some extremely vile things about the President,and the sofa-jumping Cruise....PASS!
And don’t forget Murtha’s slander is coming to the silverscreen with “The Battle for Haditha”.
The only movie I want to see is “Katyn” when it’s released here in the states.
We are really in a sad state of the Union, folks.....
Treason in wartime, "aiding and abetting", Congressman on foreign soil denouncing American occupation, etc., etc.
Go see “3:10 to Yuma” with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. It’s terrific entertainment. The best western since “Unforgiven.”
Go see "3:10 to Yuma." It's great movie-making; very layered. One of the few movies I've seen in years that resonates with you long after you leave the theater.
Hollyweird has got so bad and so in need of something to make a movie out of, that they are having to do remakes of old movies or making movies out of TV shows. They have no brains any more for the great old movies. I seriously doubt you will ever, EVER, see any more movies such as: Ben Hurr, Gone With The Wind, Stagecoach, The Greatest Story Ever Told, etc. Hollyweird just does not HAVE the people to make such movies, nor the actors to make them. All the greats are gone. John Wayne, Montgomery Cliff, Miss Scarlett, Eric Flynn, Gary Cooper, they are all gone. We are stuck with CRAP for the rest of time. As long as Hollyweird stays stinking, sickening, homosexual loving liberal as it is now, no conservatives, that would make the good movies for us, will never happen. The few conservatives out there are on the black lists and don't get the rolls.
I though "3:10 to Yuma" was a good story about redemption. Some of it was far-fetched, certainly, but overall, I liked where it went.
Did you see “Bella”? I got to see it several times last year, and I love it!
Is it worth buying?
AND NO PROSECUTION FOR IT.
There was a caller on Phil Hendree(?) last night (I don't normally listen but they changed the schedule and I still check the station to see if Mark Levin or someone is being aired).
Phil was railing against it, calling it treason, aid and comfort etc. The caller said, they should be tried and lined up against a wall and shot. Phil said, "whoa, I wouldn't go that far!"
WHAT should the punishment be for traitors to this nation? Used to be enemies of the state were not tolerated. Now there is nothing but tolerance for the poisoned minds that openly speak sedition and do their darnest to take this nation down and see that we lose (Jane Fonda was quite open about being pro-Communist and pro-North Vietnamese).
Axis Sally got something like a decade in prison. Lord Haw Haw was hanged (in England). The punishment is known. The will does not exist anymore to carry it out.
