Belated Wknd Box Office: Taken 3, Selma, Inherent Vice, Force Majeure, Predestination

By Debbie Schlussel
Sorry for the belated movie reviews, as I was a little sick on Friday afternoon and didn’t finish them in time to put them up before the Jewish Sabbath. But you didn’t miss much, as January is one of the two pet cemeteries for crappy movies (the other is August). You can always hear my movie reviews first thing every Friday morning on “The Mike Church Show” on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 after 7:05 am Eastern and on “The Pat Campbell Show” on KFAQ 1170 AM Tulsa at 7:35 am Eastern. I do my movie reviews on both, as well as some discussion of current political issues and pop culture topics on both shows. So here’s what’s new at theaters, this weekend:

* “Taken 3“: This wasn’t screened for critics, but I braved the Michigan snowstorm Thursday night to see it for myself and review it here. And it wasn’t half bad. It’s the relative best of the bunch this week, with a strong emphasis on “relative.” It’s not a great movie, but it’s okay, entertaining, not boring at all, and full of non-stop action. I could say I’m sick and tired of the hackneyed Russian mobster and evil White businessman as villain narratives coming out of Hollywood and front and center in this movie, but the previous two “Taken” movies had Muslims (however subtle) as the villains, and so I give this movie a pass on that. As I’ve noted on this site, Neeson has since become a fan of Islam like his insane former mother-in-law, Al-Qaeda and Arafat whore Vanessa Redgrave. The first “Taken” movie is still the best (read my review), but this one is okay.
The story: former CIA agent Liam Neeson’s wife (Famke Janssen) is murdered, and Neeson is framed in the crime. He spends the rest of the movie outsmarting Southern California police, figuring out who did it and why, and trying to get the murderer(s). Lots of stunts that aren’t believable, but you get the same in the typical James Bond movie. And as I said, it’s entertaining and a decent escapist way to spend two hours at the movies.
Neeson and Maggie Grace (who plays his daughter) swear that this is the “final” Taken, but this movie sets up for “Taken 4,” so don’t bet on it. Hollywood lies and its stars always fall back on easy fat paychecks.
ONE-AND-A-HALF REAGANS

Watch the trailer . . .

* “Selma“: It’s time for “Grievance Theater at the Theater” #1 of the year and #554,187 (or more) coming out of Hollywood. I struggled to stay awake during this long, boring two hour innacuracy about Freedom Summer, President Lyndon Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the march at Selma. It greatly distorts the role of Annie Lee Cooper, Oprah’s character, methinks in order to give us multiple ugly side profiles and front-and-center looks at Ms. Winfrey’s angry visage. The movie shows Cooper in virtually every scene, including in court and in the Selma march, when there is no evidence Cooper participated in anything, except trying to register to vote. And, though the movie shows many events in Freedom Summer–the summer during which Blacks tried to register to vote and organized protests (and many Whites helped them in this endeavor), the movie completely skips the murders of Jews Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. who tried to register Blacks to vote.
How do you make a whole two-hour long movie about one civil rights march? Well, you make things up, and that’s mostly what this movie is, whether it’s about Cooper or about President Johnson, making it look like he opposed civil rights, when supporting the Civil Rights Act was one of his hallmarks. A lot of conversations the veracity of which we’ll never know are the main content of this movie. That and a lot of scenes of ugly White cops beating Black people. Yes, that happened, but it seems interesting that this movie comes out now as a seeming justification for Blacks to attack and kill White cops today. It gives excuses for today’s misplaced and unjustified anger against White police officers (and Asian and Hispanic officers). Also, the movie is a repetitive jumble of infighting between various violent and non-violent Black groups. Like I said, it’s a bore.
While the end of the movie, featuring real life footage of the march on Selma, was touching, what wasn’t touching were the captions telling us what became of all of King’s allies and organizers in the march. For instance, Andrew Young is portrayed as a hero, when in fact he was a Jew-hating, anti-Israel, pro-Arafat piece of crap who was an apologist (and still is) of Islamic terrorism every step of the way. Yay, civil rights! And this radical, Jew-hating, Islam-apologism befell many of King’s acolytes. James Bevel is played by Muslim rapper Common in the movie, but the film never tells you much about him. He was an odd duck. While disowning Black radicalism and campaigning for Ronald Reagan, he was also a friend of the Nation of Islam, helping Louis Farrakhan to organize the anti-Semitic, anti-American, racist “Million Man March.” He was convicted of molesting his daughter–one of the many he fathered with many different women–and died in prison. Again, this is what they marched at Selma for?
Yes, it is fact and history that Black Americans were denied the right to vote and subject to brutal, murderous violence. And they deserved and do deserve every civil right afforded to any other American. But that age is in the past. Today’s age is one of racist affirmative action in their favor, ObamaPhones, ObamaCare, record high levels of welfare and entitlements, most Black kids born out of wedlock, unparalleled Black racism against Whites, especially police, and the era of a Black President elected out of racism and White guilt, who has made even more of a mess of America than ever.
I’m still waiting for that movie. But we’ll all be waiting a long time for that one.
FOUR MARXES PLUS FOUR OBAMAS PLUS FOUR AL SHARPTONS PLUS FOUR JESSE JACKSONS

Watch the trailer . . .

* “Inherent Vice“: Absolutely awful. A long, boring, complete waste of time. It’s as if someone on psychedelic drugs wrote the world’s dumbest, most nonsensical shaggy dog story that takes place in the ’70s, and got a bunch of A-list and B-list stars to take a paycut to act in it for “art’s sake.” That’s what this is–a boring, non-sensical, uninteresting shaggy dog story in which nothing ever really happens. Oh, and then, throw in a little depraved sexual stuff, including a “massage”/sex parlor, called the “P-ssy eaters club.” Classy.
The “story”: Joaquin Phoenix plays a drug-addled private detective in Los Angeles in the ’70s. He’s looking for his ex-girlfriend, who has disappeared, as well as some rich, married guy she’s sleeping with who was supposedly the target of a murder plot by the rich guy’s wife. In fact, nobody is missing and nothing ever happened. The end.
2.5 hours of total crap. You were forewarned: Inherent Vice = Inherently Stupid.
FOUR MARXES

Watch the trailer . . .

* “Force Majeure“: Mainstream (a/k/a liberal) movie critics are raving over this horrible Swedish movie (with English subtitles). I hated this feminist propaganda telling us that men are weak cowards and cheaters. Should’ve been called, “Men Are Cowards, Wimps & Evil.” That’s the message here.
The story: a Swedish family is on skiing vacation in the mountains. One day, they are eating lunch at the ski resort’s outdoor restaurant when an avalanche happens and appears to be coming their way. The father/husband looks for his iPhone, grabs it, and runs away instead of making sure his wife and two young kids are safe. The whole rest of their vacation is spent with the wife bitching, moaning, whining, and crying to anyone who will listen–friends, acquaintances, total strangers–that her husband is a coward and her description of how he abandoned the family in the face of impending disaster. In the end, the husband goes into a childlike tantrum and cries inconsolably like a girl, admitting what a horrible husband, father, and all-around person he is, and thus he’s completed his Oprah-dictated repentance.
But just to make sure you know that men are evil, before the crying session, one of the husband’s friends comes to visit. In his early ’40s, the friend has left his wife for his young, 20-something, blonde girlfriend. And when he sticks up for the “cowardly” husband, his girlfriend tells him that he’s just as much of a jerk and a coward because he left his wife and has a younger girlfriend (she apparently has no blameworthy role or part in that).
What a waste of my life.
FOUR BETTY FRIEDANS PLUS FOUR MICHELLE LAVAUGHN ROBINSON HUSSEIN OBAMA IDI AMIN DADAS

Watch the trailer . . .

* “Predestination“: Long, boring, slow, and, most of all, incredibly warped and depraved. This movie, starring Ethan Hawke, is about a time-traveling secret agent, who travels to the past to stop criminals and crimes. He’s trying to find the “Fizzle Bomber,” and is assigned to go to the past to meet and help a woman and reunite her with her baby. It turns out the woman was turned into a man by doctors who discovered she was a hermaphrodite and turned her into a man after she gave birth to a daughter. It then turns out that the daughter was conceived with herself–that the man she had sex with was herself sex-changed into a man, who time travels back, and then that the kid is also her. And the same person is basically almost every character in this warped, sickening, and incredibly pointless waste of time parading as a movie. Um, no thank you.
The movie is also now available on Video on Demand. If you demand this, you’re not demanding at all. Just horrible.

Wknd Box Office: Taken 2, Butter, The Master, Frankenweenie


By Debbie Schlussel



Due to the Jewish holidays, I was unable to attend the “Frankenweenie” critics’ screening, but I will see it later this weekend and post my review. Of the new movies I did see, only one is worth seeing, even if its star has a silly love affair with Islam. **** UPDATE, 10/7/12: I’ve added my review of “Frankenweenie,” below–the movie is fabulous! ****




* “Taken 2“: This isn’t nearly as good as the original “Taken” (read my review), to which it is a sequel. But it’s good enough, and I liked it. It should be a big hint that it’s being panned universally by mainstream media movie critics. If you were expecting a deep, thoughtful, Shakespearian masterpiece, then you clearly didn’t see the first “Taken.” And you are applying standards to this movie that you don’t apply to most others. I liked this, even if, per usual, the references to the villains being Muslim are muted–muted even from the original trailer for the movie. But they aren’t muted enough. It’s quite clear–even clearer than in the first “Taken”–that the brutal, violent, unforgiving, dishonorable, murderous villains here are Albanian Muslims, who get quite a bit of help from the Turkish Muslims in the movie’s setting of Istanbul. You’ll have to suspend your knowledge that the movie’s star, Liam Neeson, said he fell in love with Islam while filming this and considered converting to this violent religion and that he made the preposterous claim that the lion in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” is Mohammed, when it was clearly meant by devout Christian author C.S. Lewis to be Jesus, nothing else. (No surprise, given that this is coming from the son-in-law of dhimmi, pro-terrorist skank, Vanessa Redgrave.)



You don’t have to see the original “Taken” to see this, but a quick summary is in order here. In the original, Neeson is retired CIA agent Bryan Mills, whose teen daughter goes to Paris for the summer. When she is kidnapped by Albanian Muslim slave traders and sold into sex slavery to Arab Muslims, Neeson goes to Paris to find her, rescue her, and kill her captors. He achieves all three with aplomb. In this second installment, the father of one of the Muslim sex slavers wants vengeance. Neeson has just finished a private security gig in Istanbul, protecting some Arab Muslim. He invites his ex-wife and their daughter (Maggie Grace) to Istanbul to spend some quality time, when Neeson and his ex (Famke Janssen) are kidnapped by the Muslims, and Neeson enlists his secret agent skills to get out with the help of his daughter and then rescue the ex. Throughout Turkish Muslims help the Albanians and don’t help Neeson or his family, to whom they are particularly unfriendly. And the Muslim stuff is clear. We see the villains wearing Islamic garb and praying to allah. And that’s not to mention the quick shots of the crescent and star tattoos–bearing the symbol of Islam–also shown on the villains in the first movie. Muslims and their friends won’t like this. But you will.



Like I said, the movie’s not deep stuff (and it’s predictable), but neither is there depth in James Bond movies, superhero movies, etc. This is an escapist delight. And I enjoyed it. You know what you’re getting here before you buy the ticket, and it doesn’t disappoint. Again, not nearly as good as the first one, but pretty good. And it’s very clear that the Muslims are the bad guys all around in this movie–something you rarely see from Hollywood. And, toward the end, there’s a great scene in which you’re led to believe that Neeson is acting like a stupid liberal and that it will be the death of him. But it’s a good trick, proving yet again that the Muslim villains have no honor, no decency to speak of. But we knew that. Good to see a major motion picture release reaffirm it, rather than fantasize otherwise.



TWO-AND-A-HALF REAGANS


* “Butter“: This movie is meant to be a parable of some sort–a satiric take on the Clintons versus Barack Obama or John McCain versus Obama. Regardless, it’s clearly about the “greatness” and ascendance of Obama, and it’s a very clear knock on conservatives and conservative values. And it’s silly and a waste of time, not worth your ten dollars and 1.5 hours . . . even to see the butter version of “Schindler’s List” on quick display here. Question: is there a coincidence that a Black Muslim girl was tapped to play the Obama figure here? Just askin’.



This is the story of an Iowa butter carving champion (Ty Burrell) who retires. But his perfect, conservative wife (Jennifer Garner a/k/a Mrs. Ben Affleck) can’t handle it, so she takes his place, entering the butter carving competition. She’s very good, but she’s soon upstaged by a young Black girl (Yara Shahidi), who is a foster child to White people and utters such slogans as, “White people are weird.” (You think a White hero of a movie could utter, “Black people are weird,” and get away with it?) The Black girl is helped by a disgruntled stripper (Olivia Wilde), while the wife resorts to unethical behavior to try to win, all while touting conservative values. Alicia Silverstone and Hugh Jackman also co-star.



Like I said, this is a cheap, stupid attack on conservatives and middle America. And it’s full of the c-word, lesbian make-out scenes, and other similar stuff gratuitously inserted to shock. Instead, it was just a bore like the rest of this waste of time movie.



Skip it.



FOUR MARXES




* “The Master“: If this is a knock on Scientology–as it’s alleged to be–the Scientologists have nothing to worry about. The movie is long, boring, and a complete waste of time. The only similarities at all to Scientology are that it’s about a silly cult parading as a religion, complete with stupid BS as its philosophy, and the leader of the cult is a total phony. Even the son of the cult leader (the cult leader is played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) knows he’s a complete fraud and says as much to Joaquin Phoenix, who plays a new follower. The setting is the early ’50s, and Phoenix is a lowlife drunk who is a Navy veteran of World War II (yup, another Hollywood flick in which the military veteran is a scumbag). He’s obsessed with sex and drinking and makes a “tonic” with part paint thinner in it (not sure how you can drink that and survive–and one guy dies from stealing the batch and making too much).



The movie goes on and on and on with zero point to it. But along the way, we see a scene in which women of all ages walk around in full frontal nudity for the cult leader (though it’s not clear if this is real or in the imagination of Phoenix–either way, it doesn’t matter ‘cuz the scene was unnecessary and low class), another scene in which the cult leader’s wife (Amy Adams) masturbates him in the bathroom, and yet another with Phoenix having sex with a sand sculpture of a woman on the beach, after which he masturbates. Oh, and it’s filled with the c- and p-words. You stay classy, Hollywood.



Complete and total garbage. Where do I go to get the nearly 2.5 hours of my life back that I wasted on this?



FOUR MARXES PLUS A BIN LADEN


* “Frankenweenie“: This was absolutely terrific. Fantastic animation, cool and creepy story, cute and funny throughout, and just all-around great. I saw this in 2D, and enjoyed it thoroughly, so I can only imagine how much better the already stellar animation looks in 3D. It’s in black and white and appears to take place in the ’50s. My only reservation is that while kids will enjoy this, they may be a little scared by it. It’s dark and creepy, if in an ultimately cute way.



Victor Frankenstein is a nerdy, genius kid with no friends, but a strong interest in science. He loves his dog, Sparky. His parents, worried about his lack of friends, and they allow him to participate in the science competition, so long as he joins the school baseball team. But at his first outing, he hits a home run, with the ball out of the park. His dog chases the ball, gets hit by a car, and dies. Victor is extremely depressed. Soon, though, Victor is inspired by his quirky mad genius new science teacher to try to bring Sparky back to life using lightning and electric current. He succeeds and tries to keep it a secret, but the secret gets out when one of his creepy classmates discovers it and blabs. Soon, Victor’s other classmates are trying to find out what he did and imitate his experiment, so that they can win the trophy at the science fair.



One cute thing you’ll notice is that each of Victor’s creepy classmates is modeled after and resembles a major scary character in a classic horror film. This movie is so clever that kids might not get a lot of it, but adults will thoroughly enjoy it. I loved every minute of it. Perfectly fine in 2D. One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in a long time.



FOUR REAGANS


Looper, Pitch Perfect, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Won’t Back Down


By Debbie Schlussel



Sorry for being late with my movie reviews, but I wasn’t feeling well on Friday, when I write and usually post them, so I didn’t finish them in time to post before the Jewish Sabbath. I didn’t particularly like any of the new movies at theaters, this weekend.





* “Looper“: While the movie had an interesting premise, the product is nasty and sick. This is science fiction at its worst, filled with killing porn, and then it gives us a sappy, unbelievable “evil children can change so don’t kill ‘em” ending that doesn’t make up for everything that came before . . . and actually makes it worse. I found this movie very cold and unfeeling, and at points, it’s even grotesquely disgusting with dismemberment. Only very warped minds would dream some of this up–warped minds that should long ago have been institutionalized. Sadly, instead, they populate Hollywood’s movie biz. No one in this movie is likeable, and I wanted them all to die instantly, so I wouldn’t have to sit through two hours of twisted cinema. But the makers of this film expect you to like and root for a man who murders people in cold blood for a living.



Excuse me if I didn’t fall for the ruse. Excuse me also if I didn’t fall for the usual lame Tinseltown insertion of an overly smart, saccharin sweet kid and wasn’t, like a typical liberal, pulling for him to be given the chance to grow up to become an evil mobster, instead of being snuffed out, as he should have been, like so many HAMAS kid terrorists in development, who are already throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails when they are seven or eight. Figures that the one person (other than the loopers) that should have been removed from this earth (in this movie) isn’t because liberals tell is we need to give them a chance to change, despite all we know about how they will turn out.



The movie begins with a sort of “film noir” vibe to it, but quickly degrades into bloody, violent garbage.













Joseph Gordon-Levitt (whose far-leftist, self-hating Jew In Name Only parents couldn’t just give him his father’s surname and had to be all “progressive” about it) plays a drug-addicted hitman in the desolate future. But he’s not just any kind of hitman. He’s a “looper.” Thirty years into the future from the already-future setting of the movie, mobsters have discovered how to do time travel. They use it to send people they want to murder to be killed thirty years back into the past. The loopers get paid to wait in some secluded area at a set time, watch a hooded live human appear from the future, and immediately shoot that person in the head from close range, then dispose of the body.



Since time travel is illegal in the future, and the mob doesn’t want to leave any evidence around of what they are doing, they also send each looper back in time to be murdered by their younger selves. That’s what’s known as “closing the loop.” When one looper (Paul Dano), lets his future self go, we see the older man losing his body parts as he’s trying to get away. Then, we see why. The mob has taken his present self, put him in surgery, and slowly amputated each limb off of him, and then the future self is murdered. Yup, pleasant movie, right? This is the sick, demented crap that Hollywood is serving up these days.



After this, Gordon-Levitt is faced with killing his future self–Bruce Willis, who has led a life of crime but for whom we are supposed to suddenly feel sorry for because he’s settled down and married an Asian chick in Asia. But Willis is far smarter than his younger self and gets away. The rest of the movie is filled with Gordon-Levitt and the mob trying to find the younger and older/future looper, while those two loopers are trying to find the younger “rainmaker” who has special powers and grows up to become the head of the evil, murderous mob.



One other thing: in the future setting of this movie–as opposed to the 30-years-plus future of the movie–about ten percent of the population has “TK”–telekinesis powers, consisting of only being able to float objects, such as quarters, around. And this is about the only funny, interesting part of the movie. The narrator, Gordon-Levitt, tells us that when the TK power was first discovered, everyone thought that superheroes with superpowers would emerge. But they were quickly disappointed when all these TK people could do was move around quarters to impress girls . . . and couldn’t do much else with it.



Yes, I gave away some stuff in this movie. Sorry for that. But, frankly, I provided you with a badly needed service, in the case of this movie. If you liked “Looper,” you’re a cold hearted liberal. And there’s something wrong with you. If you go see it, despite reading my review, you’re just an idiot. And since there is no shortage of those in America, I predict this movie will be number one at the box office, this weekend, or pretty close to it.



One other thing: uber-leftist Jeff Daniels (in whose charity golf tournaments I was a “celebrity” golfer a few times–but that was before I knew his annoying politics) is ill-cast as a schlubby mob consigliere. Wasn’t hard to see him snuffed out.



FOUR MARXES



* “Pitch Perfect“: If you’ve watched TV’s “Glee,” you’ve seen it all before. While the a cappella/human beatbox singing in this movie is cool, the story is lame. And it’s filled with gross, raunchy, bathroom humor. Massive vomiting by one girl, with another girl falling into the pool of vomit and doing a “snow-angel” in the vomit–that’s supposed to be funny? Yuck. The movie is also very predictable.



A girl (Anna Kendrick, who has a pretty good singing voice) is pushed to go to college by her professor dad. She soon finds herself in a women’s a cappella group that is competing nationally in a college competition. The movie focuses on the dynamics of the group, which includes a slut, a gambling-addicted Black lesbian, a stereotypical Asian chick, and a morbidly obese fat chick–the very fat Rebel Wilson, who calls herself, “Fat Amy.” I know: sounds absolutely scintillating, right? And there’s also the competition against the college’s men’s a cappella group, plus the cheesy “commentators” and their silly, raunchy remarks on the various singing groups.



As I said, the singing is cool and entertaining, but it’s not worth sitting through all the other crap that infests here. Fine if you want to waste two hours of your life on singing and gross, unfunny jokes. For everyone else, skip it. Yes, I know, I’m not the target demo here, which is tweens and 20-somethings. Says a lot about the direction in which American is headed: far downward. And to the epitome of blandness.



ONE-AND-A-HALF MARXES



* “The Perks of Being a Wallflower“: This snoozer was a complete waste of time. I struggled to stay awake. Plus it’s filled with hipsters and hipster-wannabes. I hate hipsters. Sorry. There’s nothing new in this film. It’s the usual cliches about an offbeat, high school student who is depressed and not popular, but suddenly finds his wings when others befriend him. You’ve seen it a million times before, and I liked it much better when I saw this in the ’80s and it was called, “The Breakfast Club.”



Logan Lerman plays a kid who is mentally unstable, especially after his best friend committed suicide. He’s an introverted freshman who is soon befriended by outgoing hipster seniors in high school. He falls for one of them (Emma Watson), after also briefly dating a psycho girl in the group and being propositioned by the gay guy in the group. Filled with way more drama and angst than I needed. And way more hipsterism. A slow-moving bore. Even during the melodrama, of which there was far too much here.



Oh, the perks of skipping this and saving two hours of your life from waste. Annoying to the max.



TWO MARXES



* “Won’t Back Down“: This is another cliche-filled, slow bore of uber-fiction in which all the inner city kids and parents are wise angels who value education, and every problem in public schools is the fault of the unions and bad teachers. In many ways, the lies in this movie remind me of “Waiting for Superman” (read my review), another cinematic fraud in which all inner city (and other) students are angel geniuses who only want to learn and whose parents are excruciatingly dedicated to their kids learning, ‘cuz, hey, that accurately portrays the kids and parents of inner city American culture, right? (As you may know, because I pointed out this fakery in my review of “Waiting for Superman,” Paramount Pictures kicked me off their critics’ screening list, until the New York Times investigated.)



A slutty, single mom (played by the vastly over-rated, homely Maggie Gyllenhaal, the loathsome Marxist who said America “deserved and is to blame for 9/11″) with tattoos all over and a funky wardrobe is very concerned with the education of her dyslexic daughter because, after all, slutty single moms with tramp stamps on their chest are typically the ones who really care about their kids’ education, right? Puh-leeze. Gyllenhaal gets together with a teacher/parent (Viola Davis) to change a Pittsburgh school under a state law that allows them to. They face opposition of unions, administration, and parents, and even though they are dirt poor, they somehow have gazillions to spend on t-shirts, color brochures, etc. Holly Hunter–who looks like an 80-year-old anorexic and is very scary to look at (solid proof that Botox and Restylane injections don’t necessarily make one look youthful)–co-stars in this movie. There is also a cheesy, silly scene of teachers line-dancing at a bar. Oy vey. This is one of those movies billed as “inspired by actual events,” which, per usual, actually has little to do with anything that actually happened in reality.



I hated this movie and it was hard to sit through. It’s not credible, and, yet, it’s so predictable, you don’t need to see it to know the ending. Not that you care. I didn’t. An over-hyped, complete waste of time.



TWO-AND-A-HALF MARXES
