Under George W. Bush, almost no movies were made
portraying America and its soldiers in a good light.
Almost no movies were made
portraying the great dramatic story of the age - the war on Islamism.
Maybe under Obama this will change,
as Hollywood stops hating America for a few short years.
Trailer for the taboo-breaking
Unthinkable (2010).
It is going straight to DVD,
and the trailer gives you no hint that it is
Islamic terror.
Someone is determined that no one will see this film.
But nothing can hide the fact that this is
the first movie since 9/11
showing a fictional Islamist attack on the US,
the first movie since 9/11
showing an Islamist nuclear attack,
and the first movie since 9/11
supporting the homeland fight against Islamism.
Hollywood is as censored now as it was back in the days of the
Hays Code.
Upcoming movie of the
Hannah Allam
story.
The Iraqi resistance kill a 4 year old child
because her mother is an interpreter
for US media.
Could be the first movie to actually depict the Iraqi resistance
that has killed thousands of brave American troops.
"I am baffled to understand why the things I saw happening in Iraq are not being reported",
said Willis.
He is a fan of
Michael Yon:
"What he is doing is something the American media and maybe the world media isn't doing,
and that's telling the truth about what's happening in the war in Iraq."
Jerry Bruckheimer plan to film
Horse Soldiers,
about the US Special Forces on horseback
who led the Northern Alliance to victory over the Taliban in 2001.
The first movie since 9/11
showing a fictional Islamist attack on the US,
the first movie since 9/11
showing an Islamist nuclear attack,
and the first movie since 9/11
supporting the homeland FBI's fight against Islamism.
Spoiler warning:
This deals with a real dilemma.
A jihadi has placed nuclear bombs in US cities.
The Americans torture him to reveal the locations of the nukes.
Is that ethical?
You might say yes, but consider this:
They eventually kill his wife in front of him.
He still does not talk.
They then bring in his children, and threaten to kill them in front of him.
He only partially talks.
He is released.
He successfully nukes an American city.
Could you kill innocents (like the jihadi's children) to save millions of innocents?
America did in Hiroshima.
I could not do it.
But it's a serious moral question, to which I would provide no glib answer.
American agents in Paris fight Islamic terrorists attached
to an East Asian (apparently non-Muslim) crime ring.
The first movie since 9/11 to
have fictional Islamist bad guys attack a western city?
Or is it, as it sounds, much more confused?
It's also a humorous buddy movie (groan).
Whereas the jihad isn't funny at all.
See review.
Vince Flynn interview:
"Look at Hollywood. They all detest President Bush because their friends will think they are smarter by hating him. ... But instead, they make these movies the American people don't want to see, because deep down inside, the American public does not want to see a movie that bashes America. ...
People want a guy like Mitch Rapp
looking out for them. People want to believe there are guys like this out there protecting us.
...
Hollywood is now saying people don't want to watch movies about war. No, Americans don't want to watch [bad] anti-American movies about war. Americans would love to watch a great movie where Mitch Rapp is meting out punishment to these crazy zealots, but I don't know if Hollywood has the guts to do it."
From Paris With Love (2010).
The first movie since 9/11 to
have fictional Islamist bad guys attack a western city?
It doesn't look quite that way from the trailer.
(It also doesn't look very good.)
This is
based on the book
Imperial Life in the Emerald City,
"a critical look at the civilian leadership of the American reconstruction project in Iraq".
Yes, more of the same old anti-war party line.
See here:
"The American Army refused to help the making of this film because of its critical stance towards the occupation of Iraq. So i was told that all the army equipment used in this film belongs to the Moroccan army".
The movie is about the hunt for WMDs.
The aim is clearly to make Bush look bad
and make the liberation of Iraq look pointless.
The trailer shows the enemy is not the jihad.
Instead it is corrupt Americans fighting each other, or something.
Another anti-war propaganda film.
When there are so many heroic Iraq stories to be told.
Kyle Smith, March 9, 2010, explains the conspiracy-theory plot, which sounds really boring.
Could we have Islamist bad guys for a change?
Sonny Bunch, March 12, 2010:
"The movie - during which my audience cheered an American being gunned down by a member of the Republican Guard and booed when a noble Republican Guard general was killed - is as pure an example of anti-American sentiment as you will find. I was actually a little bit surprised that an American studio paid for this film's production as opposed to a Iranian one."
Holy God, there's another Valerie Plame film coming!
Who's going to watch this stuff?
Fair Game (2010)
stars anti-American moonbat
Sean Penn.
"I just couldn't take my eyes off this material, it was so compelling",
said writer Jez Butterworth.
Um, right.
To me, stories of heroism fighting the evil jihad are compelling.
This story is so boring I can't believe anyone would even remember it
several years later, let alone make an
entire film about it.
Scathing preview:
"a film that seems destined to sputter and die right out of the gate.
...
If the American people can't be lured into cinemas to sit through Hollywood's leftist morality tales even by a Bourne-style thriller
featuring proven action star Matt Damon, then what chance at box office success does another smug, elitist, anti-war diatribe featuring the unlikable Sean Penn have?"
I sympathise with this
comment on an article about this film:
"I care so little about Plame, let alone a movie about her, that I couldn't even read this article. Sorry."
Route Irish (2010),
anti-Iraq War film
by
Ken Loach,
who excuses the Iraqi resistance,
supports vandalising allied military planes at Shannon,
and is a member of the appalling
RESPECT party.
The Devil's Double
(2010),
documentary about the man who was forced to be
Uday Hussein's double,
the anti-American
Latif Yahia.
Movies about Afghanistan:
Brothers (2009)
has a US marine captured and tortured by jihadis in Afghanistan.
Sounds good, except he comes home traumatised
and has a breakdown.
John Nolte:
"Am I the only one who eagerly awaits the $25 million film ... where the screwed-up brother returns from a tour of duty transformed into a responsible, resourceful and mature man ready to take his place in the world? That would not only be an inspiring and more accurate story worthy of the brave men and women who serve our country .. it would finally be a fresh idea from an industry drowning in their own leftist cliches."
Debbie Schlussel:
"This movie spits in the faces of our many heroic American soldiers serving in wars overseas, living and dead."
Movies about the War on Islamism in general:
The Ghost Writer (2010) by Roman Polanski.
The bad guy is a British Prime Minister who cooperated with the CIA in abducting jihadis.
Why this makes him bad, who knows.
You would have to ask Roman Polanski.
John Nolte:
"Sounds as though Ghost Writer is the perfect storm of everything so laughably and maddeningly depraved about the left-wing film industry today. It takes the wrong side in a righteous war - a war we're presently fighting, by the way - and its creator is a fugitive whose anal rape of a thirteen year-old girl
(he drugged) hasn't dented his celebrity in the least. No shortage of "stars" lining up to work with him!"
John Nolte's review, 5 Mar 2010.
As the Prime Minister, "Adam Lang", is threatened with arrest by the "World Court",
"the narrative begins to takes on two fatal problems. The first is that to those of us who think differently than the left ... Brosnan's Lang did nothing wrong. And so you sit there wondering what all the hullaballoo's about."
Leftie comedy gold:
Incredibly, some people
are planning a
movie
of Rathergate
that claims the documents weren't fake!
The poor media were vilified by the right-wing blogs, or something.
These people don't live on my planet.
They live on Planet Moonbat!
A comment
speaks for all of us, about this movie,
and all the anti-war Iraq movies,
and indeed all leftie preaching films:
"I can hardly wait to not see this movie."
The Oath (2010).
"the film introduces us to the human beings who are our enemies".
Sounds bad.
HolyWars (2010),
leftie trendy moral equivalence.
Because Christianity and Islam are really the same, don't you know?
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson
by
the director of
Taxi to the Dark Side.
Attacks both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.
The Challenge,
George Clooney's upcoming film about
Osama bin Laden's driver.
Anything to undermine the war effort of the country
that has made him staggeringly wealthy and successful.
Oliver Stone wants
to make a "documentary" on
Ahmadinejad.
What's the bets it will be so anti-American
that the Iranian regime will like it,
just as they liked Fahrenheit 9/11
and
The Road to Guantanamo?
Co-written by far left Iraqi-resistance-lover
Tariq Ali.
Review by Ron Radosh, June 26, 2010.
You hardly need a review, do you?
It's Oliver Stone.
That's all you need to know.
Therefore it is socialist state propaganda.
Amusingly,
Stone's film failed at the Venezuelan box office.
"In the 12 days after its June 4 debut, it grossed only $18,601 on 20 screens".
Venezuelans themselves do not want to see any more
government propaganda!
Whitewash of the life of Mohammed planned:
Oscar Zoghbi
to make
The Messenger of Peace
(announced 2008).
One of those films where once you hear the title,
you know there's no point seeing the film.
Nonie Darwish:
"We will probably see the image of Muhammad that most Muslims were spoon-fed in their religious education."
Red State,
a "political horror movie"
by the deeply unfunny
Kevin Smith.
It is a horror movie based on a
Fred Phelps
type freak.
Because Phelps is so important.
Oliver Stone plans to make an entire "documentary" series on US "history", called
Secret History of America.
Are there people so stupid that they get their history from Oliver Stone?
Tyler Perry
announced plans for a film which will be
"a love story inspired by the relationship between Obama and his wife Michelle".
Highly disturbing.
Green Zone trailer.
Sorry, why would I want to see this?
Motorcade,
to be directed by Len Wiseman.
Terrorists attack the president's motorcade.
With Obama now in office, will the Americans be the good guys?
Will the terrorists be Islamic?
Nagasaki Deadline,
to be directed by Spike Lee,
who made the film
glorifying the Muslim racist fanatic
Malcolm X.
This is about a race to thwart two terrorist attacks on American soil.
Will the terrorists be Islamic?
movie based on
this story.
Since 1995.
