Good review.

One question:

Why is it called "Red, White and Blue".
Thomas777
Because its a fable about the grimy and violent underbelly of Americana and the movie itself is divided into three acts. The first is about a whore, the second is about a middle class suburban punk kid, the third is about a coolhanded psychopath seeking revenge. The colors code accordingly.

This caught me off-guard as well. I expected a much more gory film. The brutality is confined to the last minutes of the footage, and it's not even that explicit -- this coming from a person who's not used at all to gore films.

The "hapless family man" is a more immoral character than the already ill mother that catches AIDS due to the degenerate habits of her son. After all the former participates, even if only by covering up, in the killing of the Erica character.

The best two characters are Frankie and Erica. Both perfectly believable. Frankie at all times conceives himself as a victim, blind to the fact that it's his own mistakes what has wrecked his life and the lives of those he loves.

This is one of my favorite movies. I just re-watched it and was once again blown away at how cool this thing is. There's a part near the beginning where they're talking about an Israeli athlete's charmed life before the music picks up and cuts to a terrorist talking about growing up in PLO training camps, that gives me the chills everytime. The whole thing is really entertaining. It's just a weird story. It's also hilarious how the Germans screwed over the Jews again and again throughout the course of events.

A standout documentary. Watch on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UftbXtupuBo

Kevin Spacey plays lobbyist Jack Abramoff in a "fictionalized" account chronicling his downfall. It's main merit is showing how deranged and sociopathic critters on The Beltway are, and in particular how small-minded the juden are.

Abramoff is portrayed by Spacey as a typical Jew who thinks everything is showbiz and that developing the right facade is all he needs to get away with mass fraud. At one point his employer warns him that "K Street [the DC lobbyist row] doesn't like publicity" and Abramoff is utterly befuddled by this and keeps warning naysayers that they're "making a big mistake" in chastising him. With his suits he wears baseball hats and occasionally fedoras like the Godfather, and he's always shoehorning ad hoc impressions from favorite movies into regular convo. Another stock line from his vaudeville act is warning people "I'm Jack Abramoff, and I work out every day". His workout seems to consist of curling 15 pound dumbbell curls during phone calls or bench pressing in his garage while tossing around fraud schemes. In other words, he's just another Jew carny with delusions of grandeur.

He's worth millions of dollars but is falling behind on mortgage payments, simultaneously he's building "Eshkol Academy"-- a Hebe school-- to "give back to the community", trying to pitch movies on the side, buying up boats and properties, etc-- he thinks he's Warren Buffet when in reality he's just some low-class Jew hustler.

In one memorable scene Tom DeLay explodes on him when news of the criminal investigation breaks, but then DeLay calms down and makes Abramoff hold hands with him and his reverend and pray to Jesus; Abramoff looks ready to strangle him. At the end Abramoff pulls a Nino from New Jack City and indicts the Senate board for hypocrisy before they condemn him.

Jon Lovitz is great as Abramoff's unsavory kike frontman for one of his buyout schemes.

As you can see in the courtroom scene at the end Abramoff still can't resist hamming it up by adopting mock-Pacino accent and ripping a line from this weak movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...And_Justice_for_All_(film)

I should also note that there is a documentary account called "Casino Jack and the United States of Money" which also came out in 2010, but I have not seen it. It looks like it logged pretty good reviews though.

The Trollhunter : reason 564,320,004 for Hollywood's obsolescence.

The Trollhunter is a Norwegian "found footage" faux documentary shot cinéma vérité-style along the lines of Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project about a group of students investigating a series of bear deaths in Norway. In the course of their investigation, the students encounter suspicious government officials who seem to be obfuscating the cause of the bear deaths, and eventually track down a mysterious hunter who turns out to be the Trolljegeren (Trollhunter). The students begin documenting the life of the state-employed Trollhunter and discover that the government is attempting to cover up troll attacks by fabricating stories about bear intrusions into urban areas. The film then proceeds through a series of entertaining troll hunts.

The premise sounds ludicrous: something that Hollywood would pass off as serious science fiction. But the Trollhunter is carried by its comedic element. To be sure, the film is "smart" in the sense that the script is buttressed by the requisite sci-fi-sperg pseudoscientific Troll biology, but there is always an air of irony surrounding this element. For example, the Trolls are attracted to Christian blood and the Trollhunter must vigorously question the fashionably atheist students to be certain that none of them secretly believe in the Christian God; and at one point in the film the Trollhunter even plays Christian music in his truck to attract Trolls.

The typical Scandinavian bureaucratic element, embodied in the TST - the Troll Security Service - also contributes to the film's subtle humor. The Trolljegeren, played by the stoic Otto Jespersen, is an archetypal Norwegian woodsman, like Hamsun's Isak, who hunts trolls with as much passion as he puts into filling out his trollhunt paperwork. And the Polish bear hunter tasked with producing bear bodies often brings the wrong type of bear, at one point supplying a bear carcass from a Croatian zoo (because Croatian bears are "better"), and gives hilarious government-speak news interviews in broken English.

The special effects are on par with Cloverfield , and the film manages to generate a moderate level of suspense. Coupled with its comedic element, The Trollhunter provides high-quality, lowbrow entertainment, and cinematic Norse mythology sans negroes and seductive jewesses.
