North Korea has their panties in a bunch over a new movie that lampoons their leader...



Watch a trailer for “The Interview.” It is embedded above.

Via Daily Mail:
North Korea has denounced Seth Rogen and James Franco as ‘terrorists’ in a stern letter to the UN Secretary General over their new comedy which lampoons its leader.
The secretive regime lodged a formal protest over The Interview, a farcical story of tabloid journalists hired by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong Un.
It stars Rogen and Franco as the two television reporters who turn assassin after landing an interview with Kim in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
The North Korean Foreign Ministry had previously warned the U.S. of ‘stern’ and ‘merciless’ retaliation if it fails to block the release of the film, which is out on October 14.
Now, in a letter addressed to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, North Korea’s UN envoy Ja Song-Nam says allowing the film to be made and seen constitutes ‘the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as a war action.’

Navy SEAL movie “Lone Survivor” drawing massive crowds...



 Liberal heads explode in 3...2...1...

Via BizPac Review
A Texas movie theater has canceled some of its weekend blockbusters to accommodate the massive crowds that arrived to see “Lone Survivor” on Saturday.
The Grand Theater in Conroe posted a sign in its window announcing it had cancelled such hit films as “Anchorman 2” and the “Wolf of Wall Street.”
“Lone Survivor” features Mark Wahlberg as Marcus Luttrell, the Navy SEAL who authored the book on which the film is based. Luttrell was the only one of a four-man reconnaissance team to survive an ambush by Taliban fighters while pursuing an al-Qaida leader with suspected ties to Osama bin Laden.
Wahlberg posted a photo of the sign in the theater window on his Facebook page:

Sad: The Obama administration is getting ready to regulate your small town movie theater out of business...


I dislike liberal  Hollywood and the brainwashing they are going, so I rarely go to the movie theater anymore. It is a shame to see an iconic part of America go the way of the dinosaur. They have already been hit by the conversion form film to digital.

Via The Hill:
The Obama administration is nearing completion of a proposal to require that movie theaters offer technology so blind and deaf people can go to the cinema.
The draft rule, which is part of a decades-long effort by advocates for people with disabilities, would likely require thousands of movie theaters across the country to offer devices that display closed captioning and provide audio narration of what’s happening onscreen.

But theater owners worry that a federal mandate will force small, rural and struggling theaters to close given the costs associated with the rule.
“These theaters can barely stay in existence and often need community support to break even,” the trade group wrote in a comment to the Justice Department’s 2010 precursor to the upcoming proposal. “To require them to install expensive closed captioning technology at this time is an undue financial burden that may result in these theaters closing.”

KY veteran and movie theater owner refuses to show “The Butler” because of Jane Fonda...

Via Washington Times:
A Korean War veteran, who has owned the MoviePalace in Elizabethtown, Ky., for more than three decades is refusing to run “The Butler” due to the anti-Vietnam War stance of one of its lead actresses, the Blaze reported.
Ike Boutwell said he has never let a movie with Jane Fonda play in his theater.
The film — a biopic of a White House butler who served eight presidents — stars Miss Fonda as Nancy Reagan.
“I trained hundreds of pilots to fly, many of whom Ms. Fonda clapped and cheered as they were shot down,” the former Marine said of the pilots he trained to fly, the local News-Enterprise reported.
“To add to this, I just really think it’s a slap in the face to have a person of treason portray a patriotic lady, Mrs. Reagan,” Mr. Boutwell said. “I just think that is throwing gas on the fire.”
“In life, you’ve got to stand for something, and that’s where I stand,” he added. “It makes me feel that I’m honoring those who died for this country.”

Steven Spielberg to make movie based on "American Sniper" book...




The book American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History
 is awesome. If Spielberg can avoid injecting liberal politics into the movie, it should be great. We will see.

Via Hollywood Reporter:
Steven Spielberg has found his next directing project: an adaptation of American Sniper, the autobiography of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, which is set up at Warner Bros.
Bradley Cooper is attached to star and has been developing the project as a producer.
Spielberg also will produce with Andrew Lazar via his Mad Chance Productions along with Peter Morgan.
The book, whose complete title is American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, reveals how Texas native Kyle came to record the highest number of sniper kills for an American. The book has been praised for its frankness in telling a first-person account of a warrior who shoots from far and close distances.
Kyle made news earlier this year when he tragically was killed at a shooting range by a fellow vet in February.

Amusing: Matt Damon’s anti-fracking film “Promised Land” bombs...

If you have natural gas heat and have noticed that your heat bill has been lower the last two years, you should thank fracking.Ironically, environmentalist oppose fracking, but increased use of natural gas has significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the U.S.

Via Newsbusters:
Matt Damon’s much hyped anti-fracking film “Promised Land” has failed to make the impact that its producers and environmental groups had hoped for. As of January 20, “Promised Land” has raked in a whopping total of $7,542,000 since it opened on December 28, according to Box Office Mojo. According to The Hill, the movie cost $15 million to make. Box Office Mojo ranked it 139 out of all movies from Jan. 23, 2012 to Jan. 21, 2013.
Matt Damon said that he didn’t make a biased movie and claimed to have just wanted to start a conversation on the subject. “Nobody wants to go see a movie where they get a message at the end. That really wasn’t our intent. It was just to show this moment in time in our country, and what happens when big money collides with real people, people who are struggling on the back end of a recession.” he told The Morning Call, a Lehigh Valley, Pa., newspaper. Apparently Damon was right about nobody wanting to go see his movie.

Barack Obama's half-brother "George Obama" is appearing in anti-Obama film (video)

Via The Hollywood Reporter:
Barack Obama’s half-brother, George Obama, is about to make his film debut, and in a feature-length documentary that is critical of the president, no less.
In the movie, 2016: Obama’s America, based on Dinesh D’Souza’s best-selling book The Roots of Obama’s Rage, D’Souza refers to a news report four years ago about George Obama living in a hut in Nairobi, Kenya, “like something out of Slumdog Millionaire.” He’s intrigued, so he tracks him down. [...]
The focus of the movie, though, is the alleged anger at colonialism that President Obama inherited from his (and George’s) father.
As D’Souza puts it in the book: “This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anti-colonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son.”
D’Souza, therefore, presses that theory with George Obama, and seems to get agreement from him, as the president's brother argues that Kenya has fallen behind since its independence.
D’Souza clearly enjoys getting to know George Obama and at one point during the interview (though not in the above clip), he jokes that America elected the wrong Obama to be its president.

Candidates tell their favorite movies

Why should this matter to you? You'll have to answer that question.

Here is a list compiled from the Washington Times. (Comments are mine)
Herman Cain: The Godfather (Really Herman?)

Newt Gingrich: Casablanca (Newt a romantic?)

Michelle Bachmann:  Braveheart (Just likes Mel in a kilt)

Sen. Rick Santorum: Field of Dreams (A dreamer or a baseball fan?)

Rep. Ron Paul: I don’t watch many movies (Lighten up Ron)

Rick Perry:  Immortal Beloved (I have no idea)

Mitt Romney: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Mitt has a sense of humor?)

President Obama: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (How appropriate)

Judge Forced To Resign For Making Obama "Deal With The Devil" Satirical Movie

What ever happened to freedom of speech?

TPM reported:
A municipal court judge in New Jersey resigned this week after the state Supreme Court advised him not to promote his new movie -- a satire about President Obama's life that depicts him making a deal with the devil in order to become a communist dictator.

"It put me in an impossible position," the ex-judge, Kenneth Del Vecchio, told TPM in an interview today. "I had two choices: Either I could remain as a judge and shut up and have no free speech rights whatsoever ... or I had to resign."

Here is the trailer:
