So do we know if or when this version of Jane Eyre will play in KC.
Battle Los Angeles: Big Brother's Latest Big Budget Brainwasher
Last Saturday we used a gift card to go and see the new "Battle: Los Angeles" flick, a psyops collaboration between Pentagon war profiteers and TinselTown CGI geeks in which a Few Good Men accompanied by a couple of forgettable kids and has-been hotties Hoo-Rah their way from product placement to product placement in what is no doubt the first installment of a perpetual war for our planet's most precious resource (in this script water, not oil). Aside from making millions for Hollywood movie moguls, the purpose of this propaganda piece is to reverse the American military's real-world role as a resource aggressor and, during the suspension of disbelief, imprint on the minds of the audience that sacrificing our sons and daughters if not ourselves in an endless and ever-expanding war for riches and resource control is both honorable and a patriotic obligation.
Black Hand Strawman
”Anyone know about music used on the opening for the video with the drum solo? I love it. Bud
dear the other woman,
the title of this movie comes so dangerously close to my real life that i am afraid of the movie itself. any movie with that kind of power over me i consider to be dangerous, period end of story, talk to the hand cause my brain don't understand.
Where is the rest of your review? Shortest review I've ever read. EPIC FAIL.
A great review for a marvelous film.
Hey, I've seen Iron Man 2. How much worse can a movie get? zzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol I did, however see the Sci-Fi Green Hornet marathon the other day. (Well, a few hours of it, anyway.) I'm hooked on the new version via the previews :)
Update: Since I keep hearing from "movie reviewers" of how lame it is that this movie doesn't involve the Green Hornet using superpowers...THE GREEN HORNET NEVER HAD SUPERPOWERS. Why reviewers are being used who have no clue what a movie is about, is beyond me ;)
a great book on the Durst case is called A Deadly Secret by Matt Birkbeck and it should have been called "Jeanine Pirro's Deadly Secret" given the way the book beautifully trashes her...
It doesn't get more trashy than Jeanine Pirro. The Westchester News.Com
Key are some highly covetable and mysterious black diamonds fumbled by Fait.
I loved Gummo but shut off Trash Humpers after about 20 minutes. Did nothing for me.
I really like most of Ms. Anderson's critiques of film but I was very dissapointed with her assessment of the film "for Colored Girls". This is a film that speaks for the challenges of most of the black woman in our country. Being a black man of 49 years of age, and being raised in a predominately black female home, I can relate to each characters, male and female. It always amazingly discouraging to me that that flim critics can not see films from the perspective of there intended targeted audience. If you have never have been in the position of those women, and refuse to do a little research to become a little educated; you are not in a position to conduct an effective critique. The rape sceen was neccessary and effective because it was graphic and displayed the mindset of the rapist as well as the raped. It was violent and agressive as it should be. Film are designed to educate, entertain and enlightened which was Perry's intention. Try to step into to the culture of the film. This film happens to be indicative of the slice of the lives of many black women. Wise up.

I applaud this work of poetry-drama and big screen production as FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL and BOLD as it lifts sisterhood upward in a season when sisters need to know (we must touch in love). It is the laying on of hands that allows our wounds to heal. It is the unity of hearts and souls that make whole our communities. It is the laying on of hands in Jesus' that keep alive our hope for the treasure to be found over the rainbow. It is thetreasure that is often hidden in the unbloomed flower of womanhood because of the places were the sun doesn't shine that finally got some light. The exposure of the darkside of womanhood is what made this work so triumphant. It is the release each character has at the end of a journey inward to her inner most part. Self-taking responsibility for self and celebrating on the roof-top. Thank God for Tyler Perry and his DRAMATIC flair.

Dan:
I was stunned to read a Pitch review of Freakonomics and see the you conspicuously neglected to mention that it was produced by Kansas City locals: Producer Chad Troutwine and Co-Producer Rafi Chaudry!
Freakonomics is one of only a tiny handful of local films, and you completely failed to mention it. Can you correct the omission?

Re: “Jane Eyre”
Hi Lydia, it opens Friday at the Plaza Cinemark and the Rio in Old Overland Park. It's really wonderful, still lingering in my mind a week later. Hope you enjoy it!
