Seems I read somewhere that the guy Hanks is playing said the Stockholm syndrome thing was all BS. Typical Hollywood.
Capt Phillips has all the makings of a great film.
If I had to shun anything that a liberal had contact with I may as well curl up and die.
I broke my vow to boycott Lib starring movies...and went to GRAVITY with Sandra Bull-lib and George Hussein Clooney.
Felt guilty ever since. Won’t make that mistake again.
And no, the movie was not all it claimed to be. Anyone can make a “good” movie with enough special effects.
All of my purchases are political decisions. I boycott almost all Hollywood products because so few are politically clean. I will boycott GM forever because of the corruption of their bankruptcy. I am boycotting the TARP banks because that bailout was immoral. Guns and ammo? I’m a big fan (it’s a shame I’m such a lousy boater). Tom Hanks? Blacklisted forever, too.

I haven't been to the movies in ages. I'd rather watch an old movie, one that reflects my values and is actually good. Most movies today use vulgarity and violence as a substitute for a good screenplay, an actual plot and good acting. I have TCM and Retroplex on cable, or I can view a DVD from my personal library. I'd rather see an old movie 30 times than waste time and money on today's garbage.
Hollyweird is the number one reason why there are so many low to no information voters in this country.
Quiet? Hanks narrated the Riefenstahl-style ‘The Road We’ve Traveled’ propaganda film for Obama’s campaign.
Sigh. Me too. Disappointing.
There is another reason to not watch the movie it’s more fiction than fact.
Yea, it probably is. Myself, I don't live, eat or sleep politics nor do I allow the political views of others to influence how I run my life.
Entertainment is what it is and to insert politics into the equation is like denying yourself sugar in your coffee simply because it may have been processed in Cuba........
You're sounding like one of those intolerant liberals we're always railing against around here.........LOL!
“From the Earth to the Moon” was a good series.
I will never watch a movie starring Tom Hanks. It is not just his leftism that bothers me. It’s his anti-Christian bigotry that bothers me the most.
I am with you.
I don’t support outspoken actors. shutup and act
My wife and I are boycotting any movies or TV shows with actors that support Obama, homosexuality, Christian bashing, use of the words, GD, or any other liberal / socialist issues.
Crew members: ‘Captain Phillips’ is one big lie
It’s made for Hollywood: the story of an average American family man, captain of a cargo ship in dangerous waters, his vessel overtaken by armed Somali pirates demanding ransom, saving his crew by allowing himself to be removed from the boat and taken hostage.
All of this is the basis for “Captain Phillips,” starring Tom Hanks as the titular, real-life hero. The only problem, say some members of the real Capt. Phillips’ crew, is none of it is true.
Capt. Richard Phillips, they say, is no hero, and the film is one big lie.
Didn’t watch it, but no mention of the $30,000.00 that Phillips gave to the pirates. The money was never located and they don’t believe it was thrown overboard.
cannot. stomach. tom. hanks.
Didn’t the original crew say the film was a big fat lie and Phillips was the worst.
