Is It True What They Say About Ann? - Ann Coulter documentaryFrom www.mdfilmfest.com:
|
Ann Coulter would hate this observation, but she and Hillary Clinton are strikingly similar. Bright, strong, disciplined in ways that are scary, both women are pretty sure they understand the cosmos. Both are fearless, and are irrationally hated by their opponents. "Nazi." Is just one of the epithets - from college students no less - you'll hear directed to Ann in this amazing and entertaining documentary. In classic cinema verite style, the filmmakers take a look at Ann Coulter in a variety of settings, from television appearances to college campuses to the back of vans. We see her taking on all comers, including some surprising moments of genuine affection, and struggling with some of the costs that come with being a celebrity. A University of Michigan Law graduate and bestselling author, Ann Coulter likes to provoke her audience. ("We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity," she wrote in an infamous piece following 9/11.) This work-in-progress film allows her to do just that. -- Jed Dietz |

Tired of Michael Moore's film-flam? There are alternatives.
BY BRIDGET JOHNSON
Wednesday, September 1, 2004 12:01 a.m.-- snip --
...Not Cannes, not Sundance, but the first-ever Liberty Film Festival, showcasing conservative, libertarian and independent films this fall in Los Angeles.
Rising conservative filmmaking power couple Jason Apuzzo and Govindini Murty, who are directing the event, will be premiering their black-and-white noir thriller "Terminal Island," shot at the Port of Los Angeles. Ms. Murty's character is stalked around the harbor by a Muslim terrorist, who is being pursued by a bounty hunter. "Because no Hollywood studio would touch a film that had a Muslim terrorist as the villain--or that was sympathetic to the war on terror--we produced the film ourselves," Mr. Apuzzo said...
"Our goal is to make edgy, provocative narrative films that challenge Hollywood's liberal orthodoxy," added Ms. Murty. "Documentaries are fine, but narrative films are what have the greatest impact on our culture."
One promising documentary you'll find at the festival is "Michael Moore Hates America," scheduled for release this October. What could be more fitting than a young filmmaker doing exactly what the disingenuous Mr. Moore does to others--chase him around with a microphone to pen him into answering questions and torturing him in the process?
...In the trailer, Mr. Moore tells a newsman that he refuses to be interviewed by Mr. Wilson because Mr. Moore doesn't appear in anything but his own films--and as he explains this, we see a scrolling list of films Mr. Moore has appeared in but not directed...

'Michael Moore Hates America' huge hit
10-minute standing ovation for documentary at film festival
By Ron Strom
© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com
"Michael Moore Hates America," a documentary that challenges the leftist filmmaker, received a huge response at the American Film Renaissance festival in Dallas, packing out two showings and eliciting a 10-minute standing ovation.
"That crowd response was bigger than anything I've seen in a theater in my life," Jim Hubbard, the co-founder of the festival, told WorldNetDaily. The festival ran from Sept. 10-12.
Hubbard said demand to see the film was so high, the theater was bursting at the seams during the second showing.
"We really packed them in," he said. "We were having to turn people away."
Hubbard says he is confident the man who made "Michael Moore Hates America," 27-year-old Mike Wilson, will secure a theatrical distributor for his work.
"They're going to get distribution," he predicted. "This thing is just too huge."
Wilson was in attendance for both showings, Hubbard said. "[The moviegoers] were treating him like a rock star."
Added Hubbard, "He really peeled the hide off of Michael Moore."
In one scene, the American soldier who lost both arms in Iraq and who was shown in Moore's Bush-bashing "Fahrenheit 9/11" said he was taken out of context in the left-wing documentary.
According to Hubbard, the soldier said in the new film he had planned to be a technical engineer and could no longer do so because he lost him arms. He emphasized, however, that if he had to do it over again, he would, because "what we're doing in Iraq is important." The soldier said he was furious about the way Moore had portrayed him in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Hubbard noted, "Moore used the south of France [Cannes Film Festival] to launch his left-wing documentary, and we used the heartland of the country, Dallas, Texas, to launch the counterpunch. There are two conflicting moral views right there."
Other films that were popular at the festival, which Hubbard says was the first conservative film festival in the nation, included "Is it True What They Say About Ann?" a documentary about columnist Ann Coulter, "Confronting Iraq" and "Michael and Me," another film responding to Michael Moore.
"Stolen Honor," a film that tells the stories of former POWs who felt betrayed by Sen. John Kerry's 1971 testimony accusing American servicemen of war crimes, also was well-received, Hubbard said.
Hubbard says there were between 3,000 and 4,000 tickets sold altogether for the 17 films that were screened.
