Worth seeing

There are several movies that are coming out soon that need our support. Now, I doubt that many of these films will have enough backing to hit the theaters since we all know that Hollywood will not put their stamp of approval on anything that is even close to patriotism in the form of supporting this President. But hopefully if some do make it to the theater, you will go - and otherwise support them by buying the DVD - then sharing it with everyone you know.

Celcius 41.11 The temperature at which the brain begins to die created by Citizens United will be out September 2004. You can see the trailers now on their website.

During the recent American Film Renaissance Film Festival, a conservative event, Michael Moore Hates America was premiered. Trailers of Michael Moore Hates America can be seen on the website. There is a good write-up here about MMHA.

Stolen Honor is already available on DVD and VHS.

The very idea of a conservative film apparently was too much for many members of the press, including Bryan Curtis at Slate Magazine who resorts to snarky comments about one of the event sponsors.

Media who were at the festival resorted to calling the filmmakers "intolerant conservatives" and, according to one report - Curtis implied that the gathering smacked of “Nazism.” As he put it: “aspiring right-wing auteurs suggested that if we could just get back to the values of Casablanca -- you know, Nazism, adultery, casino gaming -- the studios would make movies worth watching again.” In doing so, Curtis demonstrates the same type of narrow-mindedness he accuses festival attendees of exhibiting.

For Curtis to call conservative filmmakers a Republican jihad shows his contempt for anything that goes against HIS grain. Once again, the left proves that their idea of free speech is a right that is reserved for them and only them.
