BUMP for important films.
Well of course Hollywood isn't going to do anything that would put a bad light on their hero Joe Stalin.
Another film that's going to take lots of action to get to WNY theaters.
I heard the interview Ms. Ingraham had with J.C. (wonder if that was a sign to Mr. Gibson!?)...
it was very good.
And, not suprisingly, the only listed limited opening venue in ALL of California
is in San Bernadino...
Hmmm...I might investigate taking a road trip just to see it on the big screen...
I just heard Laura Ingraham RAVING about this wonderful movie. She interviewed Jim Caviezel. She also kept making the point that it is suitable for children. Wonder if it will be on disc so that I can get it for my grandchildren who are prisoners in a public school.
Darn! I want to see this? No mention from the Television about this, not that I am suprised, I hope to see it..Looks great!
Will it be coming to blue states?

This is the email for Walden, the producers...ask them why they won't release nationwide.
Saw it Friday night. Had lots of people from the cast of The Passion. Jim as a adult friend of the main character while he was in the prison camp, the guy that played Pontius, and the guy that played Peter in The Passion.
No great special effects, just a great adventure movie that IS, accept for a non-graphic shooting scene, suitable for children. A very eye opening snap shot at life in a prison camp....and the beauty of people and places outside of a prision camp.
I highly recommend it.
Caviezel and Gibson are my Hollywood Heroes!
Damn the Hollywood elite! Anyone wanting to distribute a quality movie always has to fight an uphill battle.
It is here in cleveland area.. hope to see it first week...
I love movies.. and always nice to see good ones.
Recent ones I enjoyed: Finding Neverland; The Notebook; Sideways; Polar Express; Th Incredibls; and I even liked Alexander!!!!
anixous to read all of thread & links tonight..
Thank you ma'am!
I hope it comes to my area.
Today I made the 42 mile pilgrimage to the only theater in California that shows the movie. I was accompanied by my wife and my 15 years old daughter.
The theater was only about 15% full. Not surprising. Had I not been reading through my dose of FR this morning, I would not have known about it either.
In my opinion, this was the second best movie of the year (the first one being The Passion). No fancy special effects, no huge battle scenes, no nudity, not even much blood. Just the story of a boy, the victim of the most inhumane ideology in history, Communism, searching for freedom and finding his mother, but even more importantly, finding that the world is actually full of good people.
Now, I admit, we are biased, as we are originally from Bulgaria, the location of the prison camp in the movie. In addition, my wife's family had suffered a great deal from the Communists. One of her uncles lost his sanity in the exact same prison camp from which the boy escapes. That uncle committed suicide shortly after he was released after two years in that hellish place.
I highly recommend the movie to everyone above 12. All three of use enjoyed it immensely. We were all weeping at the end. That includes me, a 37 year-old "tough" man.
Ebert panned it.
