Becky and I went to see the movie Stolen earlier this month at the Regal Cinema in Lone Tree, CO.  I’m really behind on writing movie reviews, so Im’ writing them as I have time.  I’ve been working on my new book for ShareMerchant.com, which has been taking a great deal of time, but it’s almost finished.  The Fandango website describes the movie as follows…

Will Montgomery (Nicolas Cage) is a master thief who after being double-crossed in a heist gone awry is sent to prison for 8 years. Upon his release he’s ready to leave his criminal past behind and try to rebuild a relationship with his estranged daughter Allison. The FBI and his old cohorts believe that he hid the loot from the last heist 8 years ago, $10 Million in Bonds. To get his hands on it, his old partner Vincent (Josh Lucas) kidnaps Allison and demands the entire $ 10 Million as ransom. Keeping her in the soundproofed trunk of a Taxi Cab, he’s able to stay mobile amongst the throngs of taxis out during Mardi Gras day making it nearly impossible to find. He must trust his instincts and his old partner in crime, the beautiful, sexy and smart Riley (Malin Ackerman), to do one more clever heist to get his daughter back alive before it’s too late…”

The Review  Stolen was a movie that we went into with very low expectations.  Nicolas Cage has been doing a bunch of low budget films lately and we figured this one would be along the same lines as his previous movies.  This movie was actually pretty entertaining.  It’s one of those, “been there, done that” type films, but it’s done pretty well nevertheless.

It’s about a couple of bank robbers, one with a conscience and one without one.  The one bank robber has no problem taking money from banks, but he’s not a murderer, while the other guy will do whatever it takes for self preservation.  When they get caught after a massive take and the lead character goes to the jail, his partner makes plans for a different future for when he gets out.  A future that includes taking his daughter.

The movie moves slow, but it’s still an exciting story and will make for a good rental.  We both liked it, but it’s somewhere between Worth The Trip and a Rental.

Becky and I went to see the movie 2016: Obama’s America at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO.  I’m really behind on writing movies, so Im’ writing them as I have time.  I’ve been working on my new book for ShareMerchant.com, which has been taking a great deal of time, so that I can get it launched very soon.  The Moviefone website at 2016: Obama’s America describes the movie as follows…

“‘2016: Obama’s America’ takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal whether the struggle of one man’s past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, “If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?”

Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn’t know was that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him–who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.

Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires and into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future.

Emotionally engaging, ‘2016: Obama’s America’ will make you cheer and leave you confounded as you discover the mysteries and answers to your greatest aspirations and worst fears….”

The Review 2016: Obama’s America is a documentary by Dinesh D’ Souza that is a very controversial film because it asks questions about the current President Barrack Hussein Obama II that many people have about what his mission is for the United States of America and his past history.  The President has sealed his college records, he distanced himself from Jeremiah Wright, after hanging out in his church for years and created many other questions about his first term as President.

What I find fascinating is how many liberals are having a problem with this film, but they never questioned Michael Moore’s film Fahrenheit 9/11 about President George Bush.  The difference between the two films is prety huge.  I saw both of them and I liked them both, but Michael Moore’s film was much more sensationalistic with a great deal of speculation and far fewer facts.  This movie is based largely on President Obama’s own book that was first published in 1995, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, which was long before he ever came on the scene as President.  How can you deny facts that The President of the United States wrote about himself?

Dinesh connects the dots between Barrack’s upbringing in Indonesia and Hawaii away from his birth father Barrack Sr., who had anti-colonial views, and President Obama’s own political views that are also anti-colonial as well.  He is not a fan of Israel and sees America as a bully to the rest of the World, which if true, is crazy for a President of the United States of America.  It would be like the CEO of Disney having a problem with Mickey Mouse; He wouldn’t last long as the CEO.  He makes a very interesting and compelling case in this film about why America has already and is going to change even more drastically under his continued leadership.  I got the impression from the film that the poor of America are  rich compared to the rest of the world, so in President Obama’s view, America needs to give back to the rest of the world and pay for our sins of being involved in colonizing the world and protecing Israel.  It’s a scary future for America, if it’s true.

Dinesh is being criticized though that parts of his film is not true, but I would say that if half of what he’s shared is true that it’s disconcerting.  He has responded to an Associated Press article that you can read at this link – fact check.  I thought the movie was definitely Worth The Trip, and a Don’t Miss It if you’re a History buff.  Becky was bored and fell asleep a few times, but she doesn’t like documentaries or history.

Becky and I went to see the movie The Words last night at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO.  I’m really behind on writing movies, so Im’ writing them as I have time right now.  I’ve been working on my new book for ShareMerchant.com, which has been taking a great deal of time, so that I can get it launched very soon.  The Moviefone website at The Words describes the movie as follows…

“‘Struggling writer Rory Johnson (Bradley Cooper) rockets to fame after passing off a brilliant found manuscript as his own, but experiences an acute crisis of conscience after his stint in the spotlight changes him in ways he never expected. Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid, and Olivia Wilde co-star…”

The Review The Words is not a movie for everyone, it has a bit of suspense and a great deal of drama, but it’s very well done.  The acting is great, the story is pretty wild since it’s about an author, who writes a book, about an author who is trying to write a book and he finds a manuscript while on his Honeymoon with the love of his life.  It’s not a fast moving film, it makes you think about what’s going on with the characters.  The film asks some moral questions, such as what would you do if you found an unpublished book, you were a struggling writer and the book could become a best seller and launch your career.  It’s rather fascinating, especially in our day when we live in a world of compromise and few have integrity.

The film takes you into the lives of three different men, all of whom are writers and you get to see their struggles, failures and successes.  The Critics didn’t like this movie for the most part, but the fans really liked it and we’re with the fans on this one.  I thought the movie was extremely well done and we found ourselves talking about it again today.  It will definitely make you think.  Becky and I both liked it and thought it was Worth The Trip.

Becky and I went to see the movie Lawless last night with our friend Michelle at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO.  I’m really far behind on writing movies, so Im’ writing them backwards right now.  The Moviefone website at Lawless describes the movie as follows…

“‘Lawless’ is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant’s family in his novel “The Wettest County In The World,” the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation’s most notorious crime wave…”

The Review Lawless is a different kind of gangster movie that takes place in the 1930’s, in the back woods of Virginia.  It’s about these three brothers and their father and how their lives revolved around running moonshine during Prohibition and how they didn’t allow the Chicago mobsters to come in and tell them how to run things.

My grandfather actually ran moonshine during Prohibition and was one of the first guys granted a liquor license after Prohibition, so I found it entertaining.  It’s very graphic at times and clearly the people during that time were much tougher in dealing with hardships than we are today.  I don’t think it was a great movie, the acting was very good, the Directing was also pretty well done, but the story was a little dull after a while.

The Critics haven’t been overly excited about this film, but the fans seem to like it.  I liked it, but I would probably wait for the rental on this one.  Becky and Michelle thought the same thing.
