Guns and Moses Movie

UNDERWOOD: Guns & Moses and Charlie Kirk

Ian Underwood

Last night I went to see the movie Guns and Moses.  It’s in town for only one more day (at Apple Cinemas in Hooksett), and I think you should see it before it’s gone.   Here’s the teaser from IMDB:  “A beloved small town rabbi in the high desert becomes an unlikely gunslinger after his community … Read more

The Post-Lockdown Disorientation in the Arts

Jeffrey A. Tucker

Snow White, the live-action version cobbled together by Disney, opened over the weekend with devastating reviews and empty theaters coast to coast. In my community, there were no sellout crowds on opening day and the thinning turned to zero tickets in the final afternoon and evening of the weekend. No showings are scheduled past Wednesday.  … Read more

“Playing Like a Girl: The House That Rob Built”

Michael Moffett

There’s a sports documentary out there that’s a “must-see” for basketballers. And it’s not from ESPN, or Netflix, or HBO. It’s from PBS—our Public Broadcasting System. Yes. The same network that gave us Ken Burns’ Baseball. It’s a basketball documentary entitled Playing Like a Girl: The House that Rob Built. Completed in 2020, this Emmy Award-winning production chronicles … Read more

Reagan: The Man, the Myth And the Movie

Charles Bradley

Amazing! The acting is brilliant, and the American history must be shared with every American from 9 to 99. All of us who lived when Reagan reigned as POTUS know the historical accuracy of this film is remarkable. I didn’t believe Hollywood could make a movie that fairly reflected the greatness of the Man and, … Read more

The Oscars – If Somebody Watched It, It Wasn’t Me!

Skip

Disclaimer: I don’t like 98% of most movies. I hate sitting through them without the possibility of multitasking. And most of Hollywood’s offerings aren’t worth the spit in my mouth. Furthermore, if I want to get preached at, I go to church. So, now this.

Hollywood Hypocrites Gun Violence shooting

How about a real “conversation” about guns?

If we are about to start “having a conversation” about guns before adding new legislation to previous legislation, which doesn’t stop violence, how about some new, sensible ideas I am sure progressives can support.

Palate Cleanser – Iron Man 3

Steve MacDonald

This is a featurette that is making the rounds.  There’s some actor commentary, a few clips, things blow up….good stuff.  (And for my progressive ‘friends’  no–I do not require that you watch it.)  

Red Box Review: Battleship

Steve MacDonald

battleshipLet’s keep it simple.  Battleship is only good when there are ships and there is a battle.  So skip to just before the combat begins, anything that happened in the first 30-40 minutes or so you can work out for yourself by the end, and the battle sequences are a lot of fun to watch.  If you try to sit through the set up you’ll never make it to the good part.  And it was good.  Almost as if it were a different movie.

When you see the objects hurtling toward the earth’s atmosphere, that is probably the best place to start.

If you’ve got premium channels, by the way, the movie is currently available there as well (HBO I think), and worth the DVR space, assuming you skip the beginning.

So do you want spoilers?

Silver Circle, the Movie

I believe the very first showing of this extraordinary movie was in the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire. The people who worked on creating it have attended the Free State Project’s Porcupine Freedom Festival every year. Great artists. Even greater political truth-tellers. Hercules movie star and LA truth-teller Kevin Sorbo has worked … Read more

Oz The Great and Powerful

Steve MacDonald

Having just mentioned The Wizard of Oz here, and a different franchise prequel here, I guess we might as well share this;  It is the Wizard of Oz prequel.  Yes dear readers, there is a prequel.  And it looks half good and then some. The movie is due out next March.  It tells the tale … Read more

Red Box Review: PROMETHEUS

Steve MacDonald

PrometheusPrometheus is Ridely Scott’s ostentatious pre-boot prequel of the Alien franchise and if you had $1.20 and were not sure whether to buy 0.32 gallons of gas, one-third of a box of cereal, 0.15 pounds of steak, pay full price for a compilation of every Pauly Shore movie ever made (weasel!), or to rent Prometheus…Prometheus is not the worst value for the money.

Actually, the effects are worth the $1.20.  It’s quite beautiful to look at.  But I was never all that invested with the plot or the characters (except for Captain Janek), and while there was nothing wrong with any of the performances I just never got into it.

You want to hear the premise? (Spoiler Alert)

Star Wars Episode 7 Due in 2015

Steve MacDonald
Star Wars Episode 7
Disney Owned Lucasfilm Planning next trilogy

Looks like Disney bought Lucasfilm for just over 4 billion dollars, and is now plotting the next three Star Wars Movies.  “Episode 7” is already slated for a 2015 release; all other factors remain unknown. Oh, it will probably be in 3D unless that (ticket price raising) fad has died a happy (or unhappy) death before hand.

Yes, I did say 4 billion dollars. (Talk about Hakunah Matata.)

There is (obviously) all sorts of speculation about the project(s) not the least of which is what will George Lucas’ role be in a new trilogy now that his original vision has run its course?

My personal thoughts?

The Hunger Games

Steve MacDonald

I read all three of these in record time.  Two this past weekend.  And while there are some curious stabs at environmentalism, and the can’t we all just get along meme, the most power full themes are the terror of absolute tyranny and the fact that we are all damaged goods. I highly recommend them. … Read more
