Robert Rodham Redford

After her abortion, Muffy hoped she would now be able to conceive
This Variety  lede into a review of Redford's movie (below)is every bit as mind-numbingly idiotic as my own, eh wot?


Talky, back-bendingly liberal but also deeply patriotic

Redford's tightly stretched face has only been seen recently in its role as  Neil Peart's
Don't get your stick caught in an acne scar Neil
snare drum skin. Winner of the Leni Rosenthal Life Achievement Award for Socialist Agitprop, Redford swings back into film action with “Lions for Lambs”  here's the IMDB plot outline:

Injuries sustained by two Army rangers behind enemy lines in Afghanistan set off a sequence of events involving a Senator (Cruise), a journalist (Streep) and a professor (Redford). Simultaneously:
1) a Senator on Capital Hill debates a current crisis in Afghanistan, with the Reporter who made his career …
2) a Professor teaching Political Science tries his best to convince a good student not to give up his studies, using two former students who passionately enlisted in the Army as an example …
3) both of which (coincidentally) are currently under fire in Afghanistan — the very same crisis the Senator and Reporter are debating over.

Look deeply and you should find a Michael Moore screen writing credit.  Anti American films have a self limiting audience trigger, of course, but throw in Tom Cruise, who has achieved cultural clown status, and I predict this film will bomb, bomb, bomb; then win 12 Oscars and a Nobel Peace Prize..

One can only hope it bombs like rotting t**ds.
There are few movies we attend theaters for, and then it's discount matinées, but we did see the new (remake of) 3:10 to Yuma. Excellent flick! Good old fashioned western action and plot. Next movie to see, American Gangster. Wow, that makes us swamped in movies!
