Wknd Box Office: The Purge: Anarchy, Sex Tape, Wish I Was Here
By Debbie
Schlussel
So, it’s halfway through the summer, and it’s been a really crappy summer at the box office. This weekend is no exception. It’s the rule and includes an incredibly racist, anti-American, anti-Christian movie. Oh, and also yet another anti-Semitic movie by Jews. Fabulouth! It will be interesting to see which tops the list of tickets sold, this weekend–Sex Tape or The Purge: Anarchy. Either way, it says something very bad about the American sheep-populated public and the Hollywood that serves ‘em this dung.
* “The Purge: Anarchy“: This is the most anti-American, racist movie I can remember seeing. It is the sequel to last summer’s hit, “The Purge” (read my review), which was, itself, racist and filled with class warfare (so is this sequel). But this second Purge movie makes the first look like a masterpiece. All of the villains in this movie are rich, old White, Christian men and women who own guns and go hunting. While the lead and hero of the movie–Frank Grillo–is White, he is unable to save everyone, and in the end they are rescued by a group of New Black Panther types. Also, Grillo is rescued by two Black women. Get it?
The movie is also extremely violent and bloody, gratuitously so.
The story: just as in the original Purge, this is set in the future (2022 or 2023, I forget which and don’t care, really). The United States has been taken over by some evil, pasty-faced, old White Christian men who pray. Once a year, “The Purge” is held, during which people can kill whoever they want (or rape, torture, and maim them) without penalty for 12 hours. This gets rid of poor people (who can’t afford expensive systems to protect themselves) and “undesirables” (minorities, in this movie). Because of The Purge, the country is able to control the population, and there is less than five percent unemployment. Plus, most people are above the poverty level.
In this incarnation, a single Black mother, who is a poor waitress and has a daughter, has just failed to get a raise. She, her daughter, and her father lock themselves up and get ready to spend Purge night in their inner city apartment. But suddenly dad/grandpa is missing, and it turns out that like other sick, poor, Black men, he’s sold himself to rich Christian White people so they can behead him on Purge night, after, of course, they’ve prayed a Christian prayer to G-d. Soon, the two women (the waitress and her daughter) are escaping various evil men who’ve broken into their apartment to rape and murder them.
But they are rescued by (hot, real-life former male model and soap star) Grillo, a mysterious cop-like figure who is all muscled and weaponed up and out and about in a souped up warrior car for Purge night, on a mission to kill someone. Grillo also saves a young couple going through marital problems, whose car has been tampered with and conks out in the middle of the highway more than an hour before the Purge. Together, they traverse and try to escape the various gangs of killers, thugs, and cretins roaming the downtown area of some unnamed urban area.
And it turns out that the Purges are not killing enough people for “ideal conditions,” so the evil, White males in the government are also targeting various inner city buildings full of poor minorities for attacks and purges.
As I noted, although there are various purgers roaming the streets (all of them White men by the way), the main villains throughout the movie are these wealthy White Christian men and women (and that includes the “New Founding Fathers of America”–who began the new country and the Purge). They are rich, they dress well, they are Christians who pray (before murdering poor Black people), and they are gun owners and hunters. And, again, the heroes are a group of New Black Panther types who save everyone, and the two Black women whom Grillo saved, and now they are saving him.
After all the senseless killing, at the end of the movie, the credits play shots of bloody killing over a snippet of “America the Beautiful.” Like I said, a very anti-American, hateful movie that attempts (very poorly) to make social commentary against us–that we are all racists and murderers at heart. Gee, thanks for the tip.
I’m sure this’ll be a hit.

* “Sex Tape“: Yuck. I’m sure the title and the endless stupid hype about Cameron Diaz’s naked butt on-screen will sell tickets to this crappy Bin-Laden recruitment cinema. But this was just pure, unadulterated, vulgar tripe. So incredibly dumb. Oh, and by the way: her ass? Well, it ain’t nothin’ to write home about, even in this age of quick e-mails. The two shots were quick because her butt looks every bit its age, complete with what I call “dimplage.”
First off, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel are the oldest-looking college students ever. Here’s a tip, make-up artists: putting a wig on a 40-something hag who hit the wall doesn’t make her look like she’s a 20-something college student. And Jason Segel looks like he’s been 50 since he was 13. Doesn’t matter though, because I’d have hated this movie regardless of whether or not they made even a modicum attempt to make this look credible. The movie was disgusting and amazingly stupid.
The story: Diaz and Segel are a long-married couple with two kids in school. Their marriage has become dull because they never have time to have sex. So, they decide to shoot a porn video of them performing every sexual act in the book, “The Joy of Sex.” Segel forgets to erase the video, though, and it is soon synced up to the iPads he gave away as gifts to friends, relatives, and even the mailman, so now everyone can see it. The couple try to get the iPads back before the video is discovered but they are already being blackmailed by someone. The rest of the movie is filled with a silly hijinks on their endless quest to get the iPads back, including a long dog chase and coke-snorting at the mansion of the billionaire who wants to buy Diaz’s blog. Like I said, dumb. The situations and unfunny jokes in this flick make John Ritter’s Jack Tripper and “Three’s Company” look like genius comedy. This was supposed to be a comedy, too, but the jokes were lame and I laughed maybe three times total.
You don’t need to be a prude to know this junk is gross and the raunch is excessive and gratuitous. But that is America. Everyone not only wants to make a sex tape so they can become a multi-millionairess like Kim Kardashian, but they want to watch a dumb movie about two idiots making a sex tape. Skip this like chlamydia. Unless you prefer watching these annoying middle-agers without chemistry making out to watching paint dry. But, for me, they make the metamorphosis of paint from wet to dry very exciting viewing.
Despite the provocative title, the movie was not a turn-on. A turn-off in every way.
