My review of Family Guy’s Blue Harvest, it’s peon to the original Star Wars movie is available at Amazon.com here.

The sound track is first rate, the adaption is as true as it can get while giving each Star Wars character a specific twist particular to the family guy character that plays it. A sequel is planned so this won’t be the last of it.

But I’m a Cheerleader! : Amazon Review

My review of the 1999 film But I’m a Cheerleader staring Natasha Lyonne is available at Amazon.com. here.

To say that this film is the ultimate expression of the left’s stereotype of all things pertaining to Christians, Christianity, and their attitudes to gays is the understatement of the year. It has some slapstick and some laugh out loud moments but if you are a fan of this blog you likely won’t care for it.

It’s 85 minutes you’ll never get back.

Update: Robert Stacy kindly links and provides the illustration I didn’t. If you are coming from there and want to hear about something worth reading I suggest you check out Escape From Hell. My post on it is here, my Amazon review here, and a little excerpt follows from a post on the 2nd amendment.

“And that one?” I pointed to a man up to his chin in boiling blood. He was screaming in agony so his face was distorted, but he looked Oriental.

“New one,” Billy said. “Seung, something like that. Went out and shot a bunch of people in the college he was at. Allen, it puzzles me that a man can shoot thirty-two full-grown men and women before the sheriff’s men gun him down. You’re more his time, maybe you can tell me. Why didn’t someone just shoot the son of a bitch?”

I scratched my head. Billy’s viewpoint seemed skewed, alien.

“Five of ‘em where teachers,” Billy said. “They had to protect their kids. How could they now be armed? It’s as if someone has been taking away their guns.”

A great book, you should grab it with Inferno the first in the series.

Update: Thanks to the old grouch for catching a typo in the review. Spell check can’t catch everything.

The Heartbreak Kid: Amazon Review

My Review of the Farrelly Brothers Farce The Heartbreak Kid, Staring Ben Stiller, Malin Akerman and Michelle Monaghan is available at Amazon.com here.

To say this movie is a comedic farce is the understatement of the year. I presume the Farrelly’s sense of humor is almost as twisted as mine.

I should mention that in my review I neglected to give credit to the actors. There is not a single bad performance in the entire picture. There aren’t a lot of movies that can say that.

The picture made me laugh but also made me angry. Almost none of the people that you meet at the start turn out to be people worth a damn, their bad decisions make a lot of trouble for a lot of people, FUNNY Trouble but still trouble and it leads to bad results.

In a way that is one of the things that make this movie great, stupid decisions have bad results. That just isn’t shown enough these days.

This is a movie worth seeing or renting or whatever.

and the people there who are producing more carbon in one meeting that 60 countries in a year then look at these clips from the Yes Minister Episode The Moral Dimension.

What the defends of Copenhagen really need is Sir Humphrey

This cartoon that I’ve used before explains the mindset too:

Liberalism defined!
