The Occupy Wall Street movement gets a second life today. But what's it all about?
Transcript
[Darris McNeely] If you’ve been confused about the Occupy Wall Street
Movement, so have I and so have a lot of other people. It reminds of
being snake bit–seeing all of these protests across the United States
and other world capitals against the world economic financial condition.
[Steve Myers] Well, it certainly reminds you of how do we fix our
problems? You know, people come up with all kinds of solutions and the
latest one is protesting and violence in many cases. So, is that what
solves our problems? Is that really where it’s at?
[Darris McNeely] Well, you know, Steve, they drove them out of Zuccotti
Park in New York earlier this week and today they’re threatening to
come back in by the tens of thousands and maybe getting a second life it
seems with this protest movement. And, again, are they…There’s even
confusion about the goals that they have and what they actually want to
do…some want to bring down the whole economic system, whole system
of capitalism.
[Steve Myers] It’s interesting, some of the goals, are they good? Some
of the things I’ve heard, yeah. Is man’s system working in some
ways? Yeah.
[Darris McNeely] There are problems.
[Steve Myers] But in other ways there are problems.
[Darris McNeely] And we know now this has come three years after the
near collapse of Wall Street and the entire American and world financial
system that has been tried to be put back on track, yet there has been
recessions that have kept it from really operating and coming back with
all engines operating. And we’re still in the middle of a mess and that
seems to be fueling this. This seems to be a symptom of larger problems.
[Steve Myers] Boy, is it ever. Absolutely.
[Darris McNeely] It reminds me of the story you told in a Beyond Today
program recently that we did of the canary in the coal mine that starts
to sing when the gases get a little bit too high. This is a symptom of
something bigger. That, um, just won’t go away.
[Steve Myers] And where do you look? Are we looking to Wall Street to
solve our problems or do you take down Wall Street so we can solve our
problems. Or is there a different place that we need to look?
[Darris McNeely] Well, the problem is in leadership. The problem is in
some workable solutions. It reminds me of a scripture in the book of
Amos, where the prophet Amos talks about conditions at the time of the
end. People are told there that they will flee from a lion, and run into
a bear. They will run into a house and put their hand against a wall
and get bit by a snake (Amos 5:18-20). Everywhere they turn, they don’t find solutions, they find bigger problems.
[Steve Myers] That’s right
[Darris McNeely] And I think that’s where we are right now.
[Steve Myers] Are we solving our own problems? I think that scripture
points it out. As long as we keep looking to ourselves we’re going to be
snake bit. We’re going to run into a bear. We’re going to run into a
lion. So are we looking to God for the solution? Proverbs says that we
look to God. He knows how to direct our steps (Proverbs 3:5-8).
[Darris McNeely] That’s BT Daily. Join us next time.
Here is an interesting article from http://www.debbieschlussel.com/reviewing some of the movies that came out over the past weekend. This followsthis postabout some of the movies from last week and THIS POST about some movies that have been released over the past few years that you might have missed! This all follows this post about guidelines to choosing good movies to watch yourself!
Well, maybe the movies are getting a little better as we inch our way
to May blockbusters. The studios held screenings at the same time on
the same night for all three new movies debuting in theaters today. And
I could only pick one of the others to see at early showings last night
(both were at the same time). So, I did not see “Pride and Prejudice
and Zombies” (which sounds dumb to me–just saying). I was pleasantly
surprised by the pro-life nature of one of this weekend’s new movies.
* “The Choice” – PG-13:
This is a pro-life and a pro-religion movie–a refreshing surprise and
departure away from the typical Nicholas Sparks movie. (Sparks produced
this and it’s based on one of his many best-selling novels.) It’s not
one of his usual cloying, manipulative tear-jerker chick flicks,
although it starts out to be and is packaged like one. But looks are
deceiving.
I don’t want to give too much away, but I feel that one of the
trailers I saw for this movie already gives some of it away, so I won’t
give away what the trailer doesn’t. The film, as the title indicates,
is about a choice–well, actually many choices, each of them important,
but one more important than all of them. At first, you believe that the
choice is really only about a woman’s choice between two competing
suitors who want her to spend their lives with them. And it is that.
But that’s the trick. Instead, it is about the bigger choice: whether
to keep a loved one alive when he or she is in a coma and all of the
medical professionals urge pulling the plug. It’s also about the choice
to believe in G-d–to realize that there is a higher power above us all
who has a grander plan that supercedes ours. Best laid plans . . . .
Gabby (Teresa Palmer, an Aussie who does a great American accent and
resembles a blonde Kristen Stewart) is a medical student who’s moved to a
small North Carolina coastal town. Her new next door neighbor is
Travis (Benjamin Walker), a veterinarian. When they meet, it’s because
she’s angry that he’s playing music loud and claims that his dog has
impregnated hers. But, eventually, they hit it off and fall in love,
despite her belief in G-d and his lack of belief. She asserts that all
of the beautiful nature around them (the cinematography in this is
gorgeous) and the other things that are happening in life remind her
that there is a greater power and that G-d has such a larger plan that
is much bigger than us. Travis, though, doesn’t believe in G-d because
his mother died of cancer when he was 14, and he says the only thing you
can believe in and rely upon are your friends and family. Still, their
relationship grows over a month. And Gabby takes Travis to church,
where his widower father is in his glory (he turned to Christianity, the
Bible, and faith when he wife was sick and died).
The thing is: Gabby is already in a long-term, serious relationship
with a boyfriend, a local, wealthy doctor (Tom Welling, TV’s Superman of
“Smallville” fame), who is out of town for a month to open his family’s
new medical clinic. When he returns, Gabby is torn between the two
men, and the two men fight for her love. That is the first choice made
in this movie.
But there is another choice involving life or death. There is a
serious accident, and Gabby ends up in a coma. She’s signed a “do not
resuscitate” document. So what do to? Is there really a higher power
who has plans we don’t know–plans beyond what available science and
medicine can do?
That’s the real message of this movie and it provides the answers that I’m sure liberal movie critics will hate, but I loved.
While this movie looks to be formulaic and predictable in its beginning, it throws you for a loop in what it’s really about.
In 2004, another movie threw us for a loop. In my first ever formal
movie review column, I wrote about the bait-and-switch pro-euthanasia
message that was really the agenda of “Million Dollar Baby,” which was
promoted and billed as “Rocky in a Sports Bra.” It wasn’t. My review
was quoted by Rush Limbaugh on his nationally-syndicated radio show, as
well as the New York Times, USA Today, and a number of other media
outlets. Soon after, I began regularly reviewing movies.
But this movie isn’t like that. The movie lets you know in at least
one trailer that I saw that it’s about a romance that involves a very
serious choice after a very serious accident and shows the female
protagonist surrounded by tubes in a hospital bed.
Since this isn’t your typical chick flick and it’s got a great
message, it’s a very bearable–and, in fact, enjoyable–romance to which
to take your significant other on the upcoming Valentine’s Day weekend,
next week. Guys, this is one of the more pleasant ones to sit through.
But it’s not for kids and probably won’t be embraced by religious
conservatives, given that premarital sex is involved in a couple of
scenes. Still, it’s a classy movie for the most part and tastefully
done.
It’s rare that Christianity and the pro-life issue are portrayed so
positively in a Hollywood production, and I am proud to add that the
movie production involves two of my fellow Jewish co-religionists,
director Ross Katz, and producer Peter Safran and his The Safran
Company.
Even if you are not into the message, it’s an entertaining movie. THREE REAGANS Watch the trailer . . .
* “Hail, Caesar!” – PG-13:
I have mixed feelings about this latest offering from Ethan Coen and
Joel Coen a/k/a the Coen Brothers. While it is light and entertaining,
there isn’t anything very suspenseful or interesting about it.
And I had a couple of beefs with it. First, there is the belittling
and mocking of the Communist threat that was present in Hollywood at the
time of this movie (the early 1950s). The threat was very real, and
now the threat–a bunch of morally-bankrupt far-lefties who generally
hate America–is running Hollywood, which is why America is so depraved.
There’s also the mocking of the ’50s’ singing-and dancing musicals as
just a bunch o’ gay men. Danny Kaye and Fred Astaire are rolling over
in their graves right now.
But I loved the ’50s style and glamor that is ever-present in this
movie, despite the presence of two obnoxious lefties (George Clooney and
Josh Brolin) in starring roles. The Coens went to great lengths to
consult experts on ’50s synchronized swimming and tap-dancing and use
these in the movie. It’s very charming and glamorous, and it’s
entertaining eye candy.
Brolin is Eddie Mannix, a devout Catholic and head of Capital
Pictures, a film studio which is owned by some rich guy back in New
York. Mannix is being courted to leave his job and go for a
higher-paying, easier, more cushy job at Lockheed, and he’s considering
the offer, given all the stress and long hours of what he’s doing at
Capital. His job includes a lot of “fixing” of scandals. He must deal
with a drunk star actress who is posing for sleazy photos, grooming the
image of a cowboy and western actor whom he wants in “higher brow” fare
that takes place in the salons of the wealthy, and then there’s the
pregnant starlet who is single (and whom he is trying to get married off
so the kid won’t be born out of wedlock. In the meantime, his star
actor in a Romans-versus-Jesus film has been kidnapped. And, on top of
it all, there are feuding twin sister gossip columnists (played by Tilda
Swinton in the vein of Hedda Hopper) trolling around for dirt for their
newspaper columns. While we are watching this all unfold, we see five
different movies being filmed.
There is an old-style Western with gun-slinger Hobie Doyle (Alden
Ehrenreich–the Jewish actor who was discovered by Steven Spielberg at a
friend’s Bat Mitzvah can even lasso your finger with spaghetti, as he
does in the movie). He’s the one being groomed for fancier stuff, and
he’s also fixed up with a Carmen Miranda type of actress, whom the
studio wants him to date . . . all for his and the studio’s public
image. But he can’t get rid of his Southern accent and it makes a mess
of snobby English director Laurence Laurentz’s (“Laurence Laurentz
Presents!”) fancy movie about the bored and wealthy in a fancy
mansion–in which the studio has forced Laurentz (Ralph Fiennes) to cast
Doyle as the lead.
Then, there is the tap-dancing musical about sailors about to set
sail for months without women. That’s the one in which gay sex is
heavily implied. It stars Burt Gurney (Channing Tatum). And there’s
“Hail, Caesar!,” which features movie star airhead Baird Whitlock
(Clooney). Whitlock is poisoned on the set by two extras (including
Sienfeld’s Wayne Knight — Newman!). Then, he’s kidnapped by a group of
Communists, called “The Future,” which demands $100,000 in ransom.
And there is also the Esther-Williams-style synchronized swimming
movie, starring DeeAnna Moran (Scarlett Johansson). When the cameras
stop, she is a boisterous, low-class, pregnant chick with a high-pitched
obnoxious, New-York-accented voice. Mannix is repeatedly begging her
to allow him to arrange a marriage, so she doesn’t have an illegitimate
kid, which would be bad for the studio and its movies (including her
movie). How times have changed since that golden era.
And that’s what I mostly liked about this movie. It harkens back to
the Golden Age of Hollywood, when morals there and in the rest of
America actually counted for something (as did American patriotism) and
when bad moral behavior was scandalous and embarrassing. Now it’s
applauded and promoted by the studios.
This is supposed to be a comedy and there are some parts that are
funny, but it’s not really that funny, and the laughs are far and few
between (as well as inconsistent), relative to what you’d expect from
the Coen Brothers. The best scene in the movie is that in which a
rabbi, a Catholic priest, a Methodist minister and other religious
leaders feud over “Hail, Caesar!” when they are called by Mannix to
consult on the movie. Very funny scene.
The movie is relaxing and light, but not earth-shattering. It’s also fun and a good escape. TWO REAGANS Watch the trailer . . .
Here is an interesting article from http://www.debbieschlussel.com/reviewing some of the movies that came out over the past weekend. This follows this post about some of the movies from last week and THIS POST about some movies that have been released over the past few years that you might have missed! This all follows this post about guidelines to choosing good movies to watch yourself!
Memorial Day Weekend is supposed to be the unofficial start of summer. And
yet there is nothing good among the new offerings at the movies, this weekend.
All humdrum and mediocre.
* “Tomorrowland“: This movie was a jumbled,
multi-culturalist, global warming, George Clooney mess. Thanks, Disney. Walt is
turning over in his grave. But, hey, the movie is definitely non-stop pimpitude
of Disney rides and features (“It’s a Small World” ride, “Tomorrowland,” etc.).
Also, I wondered which genius thought it would be great for kids to feature
multiple scenes in which human-looking robots get beheaded.
While the first half of this movie was somewhat charming though mostly
nonsensical, it got worse in the second half. The story was absurd and
wandering. The movie begins with a little boy at the 1964 World’s Fair. He’s
taken his flying jet pack invention to be examined by a “scientist” who is
looking for the great discoveries of the future. A little girl gives him a pin
that opens up a whole new world, Tomorrowland, when he rides in the “It’s a
Small World After All” ride.
Flash forward to present day and a teen girl (very mediocre and unmemorable
actress Britt Robertson) is constantly vandalizing the NASA rocket launcher
platform because she thinks it will keep her NASA engineer father in a job a
little longer, now that human travel to space is now over. The girl, caught in
her vandalism, is arrested, as just as she’s being bailed out of jail, she finds
one of those Tomorrowland buttons among her possessions. Whenever she touches
the button, she’s immediately transported from present day to a futuristic,
amazing place with space travel, etc. But the button’s powers run out and she
runs away to Texas to try to find another button and find out what the button
is, when she is attacked by robots and is rescued by a young English girl. It’s
the same girl who gave the boy genius with the jet pack a button decades
earlier. It turns out this young girl is really a robot, recruiting geniuses for
Tomorrowland and the future, although it’s incredibly hard to believe that the
airheaded female vandal is a genius of any sort.
Soon the robot girl takes Britt Robertson to the home of George Clooney, who
is the boy genius from the 1964 World’s Fair, all grown up, bitter, and
disillusioned. Clooney a/k/a Mr. Amal Alamuddin looks incredibly haggard, tired,
and old in this movie, like he really is in real life, and it’s hard to see what
the fuss ever was about this self-important narcissist. Clooney and Robertson
are forced to escape, after they are chased by robots who want to kill them. The
English girl robot joins them as they travel to Tomorrowland and try to save the
world from the evil governor of Tomorrowland. The governor shows the earth just
weeks from now, flooding from global warming and “greedy humans” who “don’t
merit” saving. But Robertson and Clooney, together, save the world by recruiting
assorted multi-cultural geniuses, including–the movie screen shows you–Muslims,
who are artists. Yes, people drawing chalk pictures on sidewalks while wearing
hijabs are gonna save the earth from global warming and destruction. Uh, no.
And did I mention that they took 2.5 hours of our time to show us this big
giant nothing? Seemed like five hours.
TWO MARXES
Watch the trailer . . .
* “Poltergeist“: This hews quite close to the original
1982 movie of the same name and of which it is a remake. But I re-watched the
original, and it was far better. Either way, neither movie stands the test of
time. Neither is scary in the least, and it’s supposed to be a scary movie. And
it includes a TV reality show host who “cleans” haunted houses. There is nothing
wrong with this movie, except that it’s quite dull. The little girl who is
kidnapped by ghosts and demons is the raven-haired doppelganger for the late
Heather O’Rourke, who played the same role in the original, and she has the same
overdone, saccharin “cuteness.”
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but it’s not a great movie,
either. Nothing earth-shattering here. It’s a lot of the same stuff as the
original, with the clown dolls and the TV static. But in this one, there are
some modern updates, such as the use of a drone to go into the other dimensions
to find the missing daughter and the presence of a TV reality show host who
helps fight the demons. I also noted that for such a relatively new house, the
attic looks out of place, as it’s a creepy, older-looking room with old
accoutrements such as a creepy older sink in the corner. A more modern house
like this would never have an attic that looked like that complete with creepy
old wooden steps and red velvet carpeting.
The story: a family with parents who’ve been downsized moves to a cheaper
house to stay afloat while the mother can write her book and the laid off father
looks for work. But the house is haunted by demons and ghosts, and the daughter
is taken by them into a netherworld. While the family tries to get her back,
they employ a college professor who studies paranormal phenomena and a TV
reality show host who “cleans” houses of their ghosts and hauntedness. The
family learns the house is built above a cemetery and that’s why the problems
are happening.
Like I said, this movie isn’t bad, but it’s unremarkable, not scary, and
absolutely forgettable. The only thing that stood out for me was the presence of
Sam Rockwell, an actor I always like, as the father character. But this ain’t
his best stuff. And, again, as with most remakes, if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
The original was fine and far better than this.
HALF A REAGAN
Watch the trailer . . .
* “Good Kill“: I had mixed feelings about this preachy
anti-war movie. Normally, I hate anti-war movies like this, and I despise movies
that make all of our soldiers look like they are mentally defective when they
return home from battle, as this movie does AND as “American Sniper”
does (read my review). But this one did try to give both sides on the
debate about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly via drone. And there
were some good lines. It’s just that the people who made this movie made the
guys with the good lines and my point of view into stock Hollywood caricatures
of patriotic soldiers and sexist pigs.
The movie takes place in 2010 and Ethan Hawke is a drone pilot based in Las
Vegas, bombing terrorists from a secret trailer in the middle of the desert. He
was an actual pilot, bombing sites in Afghanistan and Iraq from the air, and he
longs to get back to doing that. He feels that directing planes and their weapon
loads via computer joystick isn’t really being a pilot, and after several tours,
he wants to get back to the real thing. He goes along with orders but has a lot
of the same angst as the movies tell us real pilots have, after bombing
terrorists and accidentally getting kids in the process.
Hawke has several foils. From the left, there is Zoe Kravitz, a big anti-war
liberal who hates that they are bombing people, but won’t kill a rapist who
constantly beats a woman. (They can see this from the satellite feed.) She
questions everything that they are doing. From the right, there are two
patriotic soldiers who support what we are doing and are glad we are directing
drones to kill terrorists, rather than risking American troops’ and pilots
lives. They have the good, righteous lines in this movie (such as one singing
Eddie Money’s, “I’ve Got Two Tickets to Paradise,” just as they are about to
bomb a terrorist and his bomb factory; and they refer to liberal, anti-war
“Kravitz” as “Jane Fonda.” But I hated that they are portrayed as sexist jerks
who brag about sleeping with women who are about to be married to others, and so
on. But that’s how Hollywood sees it: if you are right-wing and on the side of
the military’s efforts, you are a sexist pig.
I hated that Hawke’s character, as I said, is portrayed as “damaged” and
messed up because he directs drones to kill terrorists. And I hated that he gets
drunk and cases a mosque. Um, in real life, it’s far more likely the people at
the mosque are casing him and the rest of us.
Still, I liked that at least this movie did kind of, sort of try to give a
tiny pretense at both sides. The key word is “pretense,” as the guys with the
righteous, spot-on, good lines and point of view are one-dimensional jerks.
TWO MARXES
Watch the trailer . . .
* “5 Flights Up“: I hated this long, slow bore and BS
statement about “Islamophobia” parading as an interracial love story about old
people. Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton are a long-married couple who are trying
to sell their fabulous Brooklyn apartment with a spectacular view and lots of
room. Why? Well, it’s five flights up and doesn’t have an elevator. And as they
are aging, they worry that at some point they won’t be able to make the trek up
the stairs. So, while they are unenthusiastic about giving up this wonderful
apartment, they go through the motions of showing it and looking at other
apartments for a new place to live.
Interspersed into the movie is its real agenda: to show that Americans are
racist pigs who are also anti-Muslim with no legitimate reason. Throughout the
movie, we are shown news clips about a Muslim gasoline tanker driver who parks
his tanker in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge, blocking all traffic, and flees
the scene. New Yorkers and newscasters are worried the truck may be laced with
explosives and it could be a terrorist attack in the making. But, in fact, by
the end of the movie, it turns out that everyone is just hysterical for no
reason because it’s perfectly normal for an innocent Muslim to drive a tanker
full of gas into the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge, block all traffic, and just
run away. Happens all the time, right? And they never explain to you why and how
this could possibly have an innocent explanation. They just tell you he was an
innocent guy and that we are all bigots. Also, a number of people, including a
waitress or bartender who stole all the money from her job, go on TV to lie
about and frame the innocent Muslim for crimes they committed themselves. Yup,
we evil White people–always framing the innocent Muslims.
Oh, and it seems the movie is also trying to make a point that Islamophobia
is the new racism, as the movie flashes back to the racism people directed
toward Freeman’s and Keaton’s characters as they were a young married
interracial couple, decades earlier. That’s interesting because Islam is
actually the most racist religion there is, with Blacks regularly referred to as
“abed/abeed” [slave/slaves], the Arabic/Muslim N-word. And there’s nothing
“racist” or “bigoted” about worrying when a devout Muslim parks a tanker across
a bridge, blocks traffic, and runs away. Um, no, that’s not normal, and it’s
incredibly normal to conclude the driver is up to no good.
But, thanks, Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton, for this preachy lesson in
liberal moronism. And thanks for making me wade through this stilted slog to get
there.
* “Every Secret Thing“: I’m not sure what the point of
this movie is, other than to bore me to tears and question why I just wasted 1.5
hours of my life that seemed like three hours. This has been billed as a “twisty
thriller” but there’s nothing twisty, mysterious, or thrilling about it. Not
even close. After I sat through this, I wondered, “is that all there is?” And,
sadly, the answer is in the affirmative. Not much here, other than a slow waste
of time. Oh, and a hardly believable story of white chicks apparently obsessed
with biracial babies.
The story: two White young girls are accused of kidnapping and killing a
biracial baby. After being convicted, they are sent to juvenile prison for the
murder. After they reach adulthood, they are released from prison and struggle
to live their lives. One of the girls (Dakota Fanning) is from a poor, working
class family, and she is working at a bakery. The other (Danielle Macdonald) is
a morbidly obese daughter of an educated upper middle class teacher (Diane
Lane). She is unemployed and doesn’t seem to live in reality. But, now, another
biracial baby has gone missing, and soon both girls are under suspicion again.
The police officer (Elizabeth Banks), who became a star detective after breaking
the original case and finding the baby’s body, is on the case again.
Not only are there no mysterious twists or any great revelations, but the
movie comes to a grinding halt with a very matter-of-fact ending and resolution
of it all. Nothing exciting here. But lots to cure what ails you on a night
you’ve been afflicted with insomnia.
