Lions for Lambs is a Dog
I’ve just seen Robert Redford’s 88-minute talkathon ”Lions for Lambs” (typically action-packed moment captured above) and can confidently report that the movie is going to rival the Tampa Bay Devil Rays’ season ender for its ability to produce empty seats.
The worst bits are set at USC, where a professor (Robert Redford) is having a long, earnest, liberal conversation about how to change the world with a supposedly brilliant student who keeps skipping class.
Sounds riveting. It also sounds like another Anti-War, Blame America First Movie. It's tradional - in a time of war - for Hollywood to get involved in the war effort... It would be better if their effort supported our side... But at least they're involved.

When is hollywood going to take the something from Daniel Silva, the Mitch Rapp series, some of Brad Thor's novels or an honest look at the terror in Israel without moral equivalence between the suicide bomber and an IDF solider.
When are they going to make a real movie about this war we're in?
When hell freezes over? When political correctness drives our security and culture to a precipice - where our options constitute a choice between war and annihilation?
Maybe then.
Being out of the movie loop lately, I hadn't seen any previews. But when I saw a movie poster for Lions for Lambs that had Robert Redford on it, my fingers automatically made the sign of the cross at the thing. I try to avoid his movies like the plague.
Thanks for making the sacrifice so the rest of us can skip the movie in good conscience.
I like movies with Jake Gyllenhaal in them. Political movies really don't do it for me. I'm extremely shallow like that.
