Is the Californistani version of "Toys for Tots"?

It's easy to tell from the advertising the movie stinks. One word reviews from obscure sources.

look how serious they are. it makes me lol.

Another liberal crapfest disguised as a movie.

Luckily, there is always DELTA FORCE!

It's been all downhill for Redford since Butch Cassidy.

The Kos kiss of death ensures it'll bomb, but it surely won't be as pitiful a box office as the Jimmah Carter schlockumentary that raked in a pitiful 10K last weekend.

I'm not surprised. The movie seems to make absolutely no sense anyway. Tom Cruise plays a senator who orders a military operation in Afghanistan. WTF? Senators can't do that.

Too bad Tom Cruise had to lower himself to play second fiddle to Redford. I thought Tom was a patriot. Hollywood probably did enough to try and destroy his image that he had to take the role.

Meryl Streep is wearing smart glasses.

I hate those.

The first season of 24 was about Serbian revenge for then Senator David Palmer's ordering a hit on a Serb General.

Blessedly, these movies are tanking left and right. In spite of appearances, apparently not all of our fellow countrymen are stupid. The actors will give awards to each other's mutual-masturbation films all day long, but the studios eventually have to make a dime.

re: #30 JamesTKirk

BTW, I found your homepage

JamesTKirk

All these films, or mooovies, as you americans call them, have been tanking.

I'll wait for the Debbie Schlussel review, but the fact that Daily Kos loves it is reason enough for me to skip it.

re: #40 Dianna

re: #30 JamesTKirk

There was a Star Trek movie that I didn't see?

It was a Star Trek movie that nobody saw. I'd rather watch Episode I again.

Didn't MGM do a bunch of pro-US military films? I mean if they can be pro-US Military, even if it was only briefly back in the 1940s, then they deserve it if their current war films tank and they go pfffft... especially if they suck and root for the other side... even if only in a thinly veiled manner of being against their own side during the war... IMO hollywood has stepped over the bounds into treason with the current crop of anti-US/anti-Bush movies that essentially try to undercut the US war effort. Let the writers empty desks be the first step towards flushing the left from the left coast.

It's scary how much he looks like Dafoe in that picture. All three of those people make me want to vomit.

Review on the fringe. Hollykost

What the world really needs is, say, a documentary about an anti-semitic, senile old peanut farmer.

Redford really thinks that he is a very deep social critic. He is always sayin things like "Beware" about some of us lesser human beings attitudes. You know, llike support the troops.
I was forced to sit through "The Way We Were" with him and uber annoying Barbara Strisand. I have never forgiven him.

Dude, with American Gangster and Bee Movie opening today, they be luck to even see any business.

Hey, now, some of the best acting I have ever seen was done by Jose Ferrer in Moulin Rouge (1952), almost all of it with his legs, tied up and tucked into his trousers while he walked on special shoes fitted to his knees.

Strange Saudi story of the day...

Saudi bride in death row arranged marriage

RIYADH, November 2 (RIA Novosti) - Prisoners in Taif, a city in southwest Saudi Arabia, celebrated the wedding of a 16-year-old to an inmate due to be publicly beheaded for murder.

The Saudi Gazette said the bride's father, also on death row, had arranged the marriage on Thursday.

The wedding celebrations included a small dinner party for relatives and friends and a private meeting for the couple in an apartment organized by the jail administrators.

When asked about the reasons for the marriage, the groom said there was still a chance his sentence would be cut. Under the country's laws, capital punishment can be reduced if the murdered victim's family agree and are compensated.

Even if the execution goes ahead the bride will receive $26,000, as part of her dowry. But, the girl said she was happy with the marriage and was looking forward to giving birth.

Public executions are common in Saudi Arabia, which has some of the strictest laws in the Islamic world for murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery. According to estimates, around 130 people have been publicly beheaded in the country so far this year.
