Reese Witherspoon can't be pleased with the performance of her new movie "Rendition." It is a colossal bomb and will disappear as quickly as one of the movie's characters, courtesy of the evil CIA, of course.
Once again, Hollywood is on a "let's make America look bad" binge. This is directly caused by loathing for the Bush administration, which the entertainment left sees as a combination of the Third Reich and Emperor Nero. Thus, a series of earnest "America is a human-rights violator" films are coming to a theater near you, and the odds are you will ignore them. Good.
The Sundance Kid, Robert Redford, has directed a movie called "Lions for Lambs," of which Variety opines: "Back-bendingly liberal but also deeply patriotic."
Well, that doesn't sound so bad, but then Redford goes to Rome and says this about the USA: "We have lost lives, we've lost sacred freedoms, we've lost financial stability."
Really, Bob? You seem mighty rich to me, and I believe you can make movies that say anything you want them to say. So what's this loss of "sacred freedoms" deal?
While researching this column, I came across a letter written by Samuel Goldwyn in 1961. Goldwyn was a major movie mogul responsible for hundreds of classic films. In this letter Goldwyn tells producer Jerry Wald: "Today we are at a crucial period in history. Even if the cold war never develops into a hot one, our country still has its hands full all over the world. The pictures we send abroad have an effect in every corner of the globe.

There was a time when Hollywood would wait until the war was over before they slammed America.
hollyweird will keep hell full for decades.
LLS
There was also a time when Hollywood was pro America during war.
The emergence of the Liberal has had a negative effect on the Nation.
That was a long time ago, never to be seen again. God help us all.
Ping.
Note to Bob Redord: When you have to get little Tommy Cruise to play the EVIL Republican you know you have a flop on your hands.
I suppose Robert Redford also goes to his neighbors’ houses and trash-talks his own family. What a shameless, disloyal, self-promoting, self-righteous POS.
Passion of the Christ vs Lions for Lambs
It just seems like the extreme leftwing movies rarely make a lot of money. But the bigwigs keep making more of them. Meanwhile, the Values movies tend to rake in big bucks. but the bigwigs seem disinclined to make too many of them.
Most businesses are driven by profit. But I maintain that the Entertainment business and the News business are driven by other considerations.
Oh yeah..and Merryl Creep...peeee youuuuuu!!!
That was because Hitler invaded their beloved Soviet Union, and that's when the Commies in Hollywood became "pro-American" during WWII.
Hollywood does indeed spew out a lot of treasonous crap, but from what I can tell, it’s no worse nor as destructive as what gets taught to kids in the indoctrination pens we call public schools these days.
Three strikes, YER OUT!!!
.................................................
Hollyweird, class rooms at all levels and grades, the main streams ... cesspools of liberal debauchery.
Its telling Redford makes these comments overseas, where in another time they wouldn’t have been made know to the average American movie goer.
The fact is Redford is both a coward, and a rank hypocrite.
Good news here is?
The Frankenstein monsters are pissing away their money *&* in giant amounts at a crack, which is of course good for the economy getting that dough back in circulation.
Soon we'll all be hearing another tale of woe from Hollyweird's imps.
One fine day, one by one they'll wakeup.
...& learn they're broke. ;^)
Piss off liberal Hollywood, and go see “Bella” this week instead. Bella is a pro-life movie that won an award at the Toronto Film Festival.
That was because Hitler invaded their beloved Soviet Union, and that’s when the Commies in Hollywood became “pro-American” during WWII. ............... Who doesn’t remember those great block buster movies like “Mission to Moscow and North Star”. What we need are some more John Ford movies. Hollyweird supports our troops by making them look like the villians. You know had things been different and Gore was President, this would have been a real patriotic war. BTW, I’m waiting for Hollyweird’s “Spring time for the Mullahs in Iran”
