"Cruise’s “Lions for Lambs,” co-starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in a drama interlocking three stories in the war on terror, premiered at No. 4 with $6.7 million. The movie directed by Redford was the first release by the rejuvenated MGM banner United Artists since Cruise and producing partner Paula Wagner took it over last year.

Costing a modest $35 million to produce, “Lions for Lambs” was aimed at an older, thinking-person’s audience compared to the crowds that turn out for Cruise’s action movies. Just over two-thirds of the audience was 35 or older, according to MGM."

“Older audiences don’t necessarily come out the first weekend, so we’re looking to get a very solid run all the way through the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Clark Woods, MGM head of distribution.

Too bad, so sad.

Redford's next movie should be titled:

"America is Evil, and God Doesn't Exist."

It would be so much more honest than all this dancing around his "issues."

I said it yesterday, and again now. Why was Redford’s film released on Veterans Day weekend? Is it his way of honoring our vets?

As for the new Tommy Lee Jones movie mentioned in the article, I will never watch another one of his movies ever again. He did a film not too long ago about the border patrol, where agents had nothing better to do but sitting around in their trucks with Hustler magazine doing you know what. The border patrol agent was played by Barry Pepper, who did a great job as the American sniper in Saving Private Ryan. He is also on my “do not watch” list.

So if I don't go, I must be younger than I thought.

This movie needs more advertising. There should be ads all the way until Thanksgiving for this. Spare no expense, guys.

It’s getting a D grade, thanks to all the F’s. Heart-warming, truly!

“Lyings for Lambs”

Anyone see the Bee thing. The promos didn’t make me wanna rush out and see it. At least it wasn’t about a rat.

Which group is going down the toilet faster? The MSM or the HOLLYWOOD people?

I don’t get how “they” know how old people are who buy movie tickets——is it “seniors,” “students,” “adults,”? I don’t get it.

Oh wow man! I love America and the troops are my heros. What an ignoramous I am. I should be worshipping college professors, movie reviewers and Hollywood elite. They are so knowledgeable and so brave. They have done so much for me.

Redford’s okay. He may be a goofball liberal, but at least he’s not sneeringly mean about it, as far as I know. One thing that makes me wince, though, is all the plastic surgery - - he looks totally different than he used to look. And the hair that looks like a 20-year old’s? - - let it gray, Bob. Just let it gray.
