The Undefeated, the Sarah Palin documentary, isn't what you'd call a summer blockbuster. In fact, the sympathetic biography flopped in theaters, grossing only $175,000 at the box office. In Iowa, where the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee seems to be laying the groundwork for a presidential bid, just a few have seen it. Iowa Palin organizer Peter Singleton puts the number of screenings at "dozens," but "less than 100." And, adds Singleton, only a "handful of people" have attended each showing. For anybody else, that would spell disaster. If Tim Pawlenty ended his presidential hopes after...

Des Moines, Iowa -- As we told you the other day, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hasn't decided yet to run for president. One big question she will have to answer is why she quit after only two years as governor. The question came up as Palin and husband Todd swooped through the Iowa State Fair the other day. A woman, who identified herself as an Alaskan, questioned Todd about why his wife quit. He told her to watch "The Undefeated" -- the movie about Palin made by a conservative filmmaker. They got into it, and the exchange ended with...

I went through what Red State's Ben Howe experienced about a year before the Palin biopic "The Undefeated" came out. I'm not exactly sure why. I too used to share Ben Howe's somewhat clandestine opinion of Sarah Palin. But like so many other conservatives, I wasn't sure how "my" opinion of her got there...

"The Undefeated" could be considered an interesting title for a film about Sarah Palin, a woman who lost the 2008 presidential campaign as Sen. John McCain's running mate. To filmmaker and Laguna Beach resident Stephen K. Bannon, the title is far from ironic. "The reason I wanted to make it was that I was tired of people on Wall Street and in Washington calling her 'Caribou Barbie'," he said. The documentary, which opened in theaters July 15, follows Palin's entry into the American political landscape — her time as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, her stint as governor, her designation...

City Paper contributors and movie-going pals Jack Hunter and Kevin Young saw The Undefeated, the documentary about Sarah Palin, last week, and offered us their takes on the film. Hunter, as you know, is the Southern Avenger, helming our conservative column. Young, on the other hand, is more into horror films and less into Ron Paul, leaving them with different perspectives. Kevin Young's take: Sitting in the theater watching The Undefeated, it became apparent that my mission — to judge the Sarah Palin documentary as a regular moviegoer and not as a pinko-commie-leftist with an ax to grind — was...

Following his comments Wednesday on The Ed Show that a Republican could beat President Obama in 2012 because of the grim economy, Bill Maher reiterated his point that “the magic is gone” and asked his panel if liberals were starting to have “buyer’s remorse” about President Obama. Maher began by clarifying that he still likes Obama, as do many liberals, but he compared their relationship to one “where there is a giant fight and you said so many nasty things that you know you’re never really going to get it back together,” but will ultimately stay together because “who are...

I overheard someone the other day say that he had finally seen a movie that had “gotten it right.” It was the new movie, “Captain America,” which is about a skinny, young guy from Brooklyn, N.Y., who becomes a super hero. I saw a different movie the other day that I thought had gotten it right, too. It was the new film “The Undefeated,” which is a documentary about Sarah Palin. Both heroes in these movies found ways to help by doing the right thing. Mrs. Palin very effectively used government, as a mayor and a governor, to create prosperity...

It's no secret that CNN's Jack Cafferty possesses a deep-seated loathing of Sarah Palin, and now that she may run for the Republican presidential ticket the grumpy CNN contributor has one more thing to grumble over. "Palin recently said she plans to decide about 2012 in late August or September. God help us," Cafferty bemoaned Wednesday on The Situation Room. He fretted that the entry of Palin or Donald Trump into the Republican presidential race "would tend to fit nicely with the political insanity we've been watching the last couple of weeks." (VIDEO AT LINK) Cafferty found reason to cheer...

Former Alaska Governor and likely presidential candidate Sarah Palin​ came in second and third in national surveys conducted recently by The Washington Post/ABC and Gallup, respectively. But what if her potential impact in an election could be measured by more unconventional methods--such as merchandise sales and movie tickets sold? If the demand for Palin-themed merchandise on CafePress.com and a documentary, titled “The Undefeated, about her are any indication, it may be more accurate to measure how potential voters spend their money, especially in a struggling economy, than how they answer a pollster’s questions. “The GOP candidate pick revealed by the...

The pro-Sarah Palin documentary, The Undefeated, suffered another huge drop in ticket sales over the weekend, earning just over $5,000. Last weekend, the distributor pared things down and ran the film in only four theatres, which should have raised its per theatre average, even while reducing ticket sales. Well, overall ticket sales did, indeed, fall, but so did sales/theatre, which were just $1,300 last weekend -- its worst performance since opening.

Those of you who have already seen "The Undefeated" will certainly remember the powerful anthem sung by "Amanda" during the closing credits, "Minstrel Boy." It is now available ONLINE: from amazon.com

MASON CITY — Toni Hagen of Mason City will be hostess for three showings Saturday of a new political film, “The Undefeated,” which promotes former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

ST. LOUIS • The conservative political conference coming to town this weekend will feature several influential Republican women, but perhaps the most popular of them will appear only on film. On Friday and Saturday, the downtown Crowne Plaza will host the annual conference for Smart Girl Politics Action, a non-profit dedicated to "engaging, educating and empowering conservative women." Slated to appear are some of the most prominent GOP women in local politics: Sarah Steelman, Ann Wagner, Dana Loesch and, of course, Phyllis Schlafly. Several well-known Republicans males have been invited to speak as well, including Peter Kinder and Herman Cain....

Producer Stephen Bannon The Chicago screening of a new Sarah Palin documentary Saturday was a political love fest for her conservative supporters. But Tea Party members weren’t the only ones who came away from the film with admiration for the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential candidate. Eddie Bryant, who attended the screening of “The Undefeated” at downtown’s Gene Siskel Film Center, is an African-American and Chicago Democrat. The retired 67-year-old Union Pacific employee said he was surprised to find he actually likes Palin. “I came because my friend is always talking about Sarah Palin. People say this lady is...

The Undefeated," the documentary about Sarah Palin, appears to have suffered box office defeat. The film opened in 10 locations last week and upped its exposure to 14 cities this weekend. But Reuters today reports that even as the number of screening venues increased, box office revenue has declined by more than 63 percent. It grossed only $24,000 this past weekend. Victory Film Group and distributor ARC Entertainment announced Sunday that the doc about the former Alaska governor will be available via video on demand and pay-per-view starting Sept. 1. "ARC will continue to expand the limited engagement theatrical release...
