I don’t often say this but I could spend an evening with this flick. I TRY to get to one movie a year and am usually dissapointed (I did like this year’s Shrugged production). “The Way” sounds like it’s worth the price of the ticket.

Sounds like an excellent, wholesome movie. Unfortunately I loathe Martin Sheen, so I am afraid it would be ruined for me. That’s OK. I work 7 days a week, and spend the rest of my time either making music or FReeping, so I don’t have time for movies anyway. LOL.

I know he’s a Hollywood liberal but Martin Sheen is a very good, decent guy when no one is looking. I will always like him despite his politics.

And it sounds like Charlie fell farther from the tree. This movie by Emilio sounds nice, and I love that one of its themes is to fight abortion.

It sounds like Estevez is holding up an anti abortion message in this film. For that alone, everyone who holds life precious should pay to see it. Sheen is a practicing Roman Catholic having come to fully embrace his natal faith later in life. It seems like his son, Emilio, is on that same path.

Perhaps...

But the Hollywood Liberals have done so much damage to our Nation in the past ten years. People LISTEN to them, and seem to worship their opinions because they are celebrities. The very system that the Hollywood Liberals rail against is the one that has given them their fame, fortune, and livelihoods.

It is the Hollywood Liberals that gave us Obama.

So, I just can’t get past it. Sorry.

Although I AM happy that there is an anti-abortion theme to the movie. Thanks for pointing that out.

“you have to support movies like this and not keep going to the crap.”

The most useless, absolutely ridiculous, waste of film, movie I have seen recently was Clooney's The American. Mostly it consisted of 2 hours of him driving here, jump in bed with the co-star, driving there, driving back, jump in bed with the co-star, driving again.

I had it on fast forward, hoping to find some part worth watching. I finally found it -- The End. Thank goodness I viewed it via Netflix, rather than pay to see it at a threater or purchase the DVD.

Emilio better keep his nose very clean from here on out. I’m sure he’s just been put on Hollywood’s “Mel Gibson” list, and they’ll be just squirming with anticipation at the thought of busting him for drunk driving, cheating on spouse, whatever.

I try to ignore his politics.
However, he was very good in “Apocalypse Now”. Here was also very good in “The Departed”. I especially liked the part when they through him off the building and landed on the ground in front of Leo.

always seemed like the son who got the brains. but from where?

Anyway, I guess I'm lucky. I don't have hangups about religion. It makes perfect sense to me.

Someone should try explaining to sheen that Obama supported laws to deny healthcare to babies that survived the initial abortion attempt. I saw an interview last week where he claims Obama is always tje smartest man in any room he enters. Unfortunately, he wasn’t being sarcastic.

Oh..no question he is a fine actor.

The thing that bothers me is that celebrities and people in the media have SO MUCH influence on the general public opinion and our national culture. Actors with conservative views have a difficult time in Hollywood because the “heavyweights” like George Clooney, Tim Robbins, et al, have influenced the industry so much. It would be easy to ignore their politics if the voting booth was the only place they expressed themselves politically!

I sincerely believe that it was the unholy alliance of Academia, the media, and HOLLYWOOD that gave us obama. He was a NOBODY until he was foisted upon us.

It’s hard to ignore when one’s beloved Nation is being destroyed.

It seems that people in the acting profession are generally liberal by nature. I think back to the one guy I knew in high school that was in the drama and glee club. He was a little light in the loafers. He may have been gay.

However, when did hollywood become so liberal. Was it in the 1960’s ? I was born in 1963 so I can not remember a time when it was not. I just think of the famous male movie stars like John Wayne, Charlton Heston and Jimmy Stewart and none of them were liberal. Even the KING , Elvis was not a liberal. It must have changed after Vietnam.
