"The world premiere of the abortion industry exposé Blood Money has been delayed by what its producers say was the pressure that pro-abortion activists put on the owner of the theatre where the film was to feature," reports LifeSiteNew.com.
Blood Money trailer: "Our goal was 3-5 abortions from every girl between the ages of 13 and 18."
Here is the Blood Money website.
The fascist barbarism known as abortion-on-demand must end.
May this exposé of that ugly, grisly, dehumanizing, and immoral business contribute to the death of abortionism.
Kyle Smith writes at the NYPost:
After all of Hollywood's Iraq movies have flopped (even the Oscar-garlanded The Hurt Locker earned only $15 million at the box office), one studio thinks it has the following secret to success: The previous films didn't insult the United States enough.
Green Zone, opening Friday, is a $100 million slime job that conjures up a fantastically distorted leftist version of the war and wraps it around a frantic but preposterous action picture.
"Green Zone isn't cinema," Smith concludes. "It's slander. It will go down in history as one of the most egregiously anti-American movies ever released by a major studio."
Molotov Mitchell reviews this "fantastic film featuring tremendous performances" from Gary Oldman, Denzel Washington, and Jennifier Beals.
The point of the film: In this "Christian 'Mad Max' story . . . . as liberal forces seek to destroy the Bible here in America, The Book of Eli paints a prophetic portrait of what could happen should they succeed."
Oscar Cooked? Hollywood screenwriters Roger Simon and Lionel Chetwynd say Al Gore "should be stripped of his Oscar in light of the global warming questions raised by leaked e-mails out of a British research center," reports Fox News.
Meanwhile, Gore has "just canceled a lecture he was supposed to deliver" at the big climate conference in Copenhagen next week, says Fox.
Starring a Mom From Georgia: "Jenny Beth Martin didn't set out to become a movie star," writes Stacy McCain at American Spectator. "Yet Tuesday night at the Ronald Reagan Center amphitheatre, the mom from Georgia was a celebrity at the big-screen premiere of a new film that features a cast of thousands."
On the other hand, "better make that 'hundreds of thousands'," says McCain.
"Martin is one of several activists featured in Tea Party: The Documentary Film, which tells the story of how a movement that began in February with a few hundred people showing up at scattered protests culminated in September's massive taxpayer march on Washington."
"Danish film director Lars von Trier’s unrated film, Anti-Christ, opened nationwide on Friday," reports CNSNews.com. "Dubbed 'torture porn' by the Washington Post, movie critic Ted Baehr of Movieguide said the film is an 'an ode to evil' that -- hopefully -- few people will go to see."
For an alternative to Anti-Christ this weekend, try Fireproof, reviewed here.

"A new documentary detailing the history of the United States from the first colony in Virginia through the Civil War focuses on the beliefs of the nation’s founders and the written documents that grant each citizen freedom of religion and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," reports Penny Starr at CNSNews.com.
"The film, Rediscovering God in America II: Our Heritage, is not a commentary on the Founding Fathers’ theology or lack thereof. It is an oral history using in the founders’ own words to describe how God played a role in America becoming a nation of religious liberty and tolerance."

"The estate of fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien has reached a settlement with the studio behind the Lord of the Rings movies after alleging it had not received 'even one penny' of royalties from the trilogy of money-spinning films, officials said on Tuesday," according to an AFP story in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"The legal dispute had threatened to disrupt production of The Hobbit, the eagerly anticipated prequel to the Lord of the Rings which is due to begin filming in 2010," reports AFP.
That's what the Hollywood director said in Venice, in town at the big film festival to promote his new documentary about Chavez.
"The director has come from making the movie convinced that Mr Chavez does not deserve the description of 'dictator,' despite having survived a coup and having stayed in power for a decade," reports the BBC.
By the way, in a "surprise" visit, Chavez was in Venice too, where he "has been walking the red carpet."

Every "media freedom" outlet in the country should be up in arms about this, helping John Ziegler pay for a lawsuit, shouting from the rooftops against this blatant and disquieting and downright frightening abridgement of the First Amendment.
Here's video of fascism in action.
Tyranny in America, both soft and hard (ask the dead babies about it), must be resisted and overcome. This is the task of every American who remembers who we are.
Who are we? We are not compliant "citizens" with a vague set of "values" waiting for Obama, the establishment, and disdainful secular elites to issue government-approved marching orders for what we get to do tomorrow.
Who are we? We are human beings created in the image of God and endowed by our creator with unalienable rights that no journalist, no security guard, no bureaucrat, no politician, and no White House authoritarian has the authority to take away. We-the-free -- and not the fascist slave-masters -- run this country.
We are here to cause tyrants to tremble. Today, tomorrow, as soon as possible, there should be Freedom Protests against any form of tyranny imposed upon the mind of man.
Today, tomorrow, as soon as possible, there should be protests for unalienable rights and Declaration Freedoms at USC (where Ziegler was cuffed), media outlets, and any place of authoritarianism in America that dares participate in the on-going ideological coup against the foundations and vision of the United States of America.
Obama and his enablers in the Federal Empire, the Democratic Party, squishy Republicans, the socialists in media and all the rest may not like it, but the Spirit of 1776 lives. For that which is rooted in verifiable truth from our Creator never passes away, never dies, and is always a solid support for those ready to "overcome evil with good." Just like the No. 1 book hated by all tyrants -- The Bible -- says (Rom. 12:21).
Wednesday was T-Day. Today is T-Day plus 2. Folks, we're going to Berlin to empty out the bunker.
Hollywood Hawaii-style hangs ten for Obama:
Perhaps a film made in Hawaii will put the idea to rest that Obama was not born in the United States. For some skeptics showing a birth certificate might not have been enough. Now some University students are about to produce a film about Obama's birth.
After this investigative effort, how about a documentary on how an unseen-by-public-eyes $10 birth certificate turned into a near-abouts $800,000 pumpkin for 3 law firms?
In any case, someone might well ask: What, really, is the big deal? The U.S. has been operating without a Constitution for some time now, so what's the problem with not producing a little ol' birth certificate?

The Fireproof DVD was released January 27 on Amazon and ranks no. 3 today in the category of "Movies and TV."
No Sundance hype, no Academy Award nominations, and yet -- "none of that really mattered," notes the Houston Chronicle.
What's going on? Perhaps something like this: Reel Rebel Upsets Tinseltown Stereotypes.

From Cal Thomas:
Though like many in his and our time, [Lincoln] wrestled with his inner demons. As [Harvard professor Henry Lewis Gates, Jr.,] writes, ". . . He seems to have wrestled with his own use of the 'n-word,' which he used publicly until at least 1862, and which most Lincoln scholars today find so surprising and embarrassing that they consistently avoid discussing it . . . "
The point?
"Far from diminishing Lincoln," writes Thomas, the new book Lincoln on Race and Slavery and PBS TV film Looking for Lincoln "deliver the real Lincoln as a man who struggled, along with his country and culture, over the inherent worth of black people. In short, he becomes fully human, not a mythical figure above the temptations and frailties of average mortals."

The cable channel Sci Fi bravely aired tonight an "original movie" titled Wyvern.
This creature feature features the following terrifying plot: "When global warming unearths an ancient dragon, a small Alaskan town will be destroyed, unless . . ." You'll have to figure out the rest.
But why call this broadcast brave?
Because it dares to link ancient dragons and global warming, thereby raising in the mind of every school boy and girl a simple question: What's more mythical, ancient dragons or global warming?
I guess they're right about Sci Fi Saturday: "The Most Dangerous Night on Television."
On Feb. 23," writes Ken Walker, "a sister company of Walden Media -- the folks behind such films as Charlotte’s Web, Winn Dixie and Chronicles of Narnia -- will release its latest positive fare, Amazing Grace, the story of British abolitionist William Wilberforce."
* John Newton: The Wilberforce film, says Walker, "shines a light on John Newton, author to the words of the legendary hymn [Amazing Grace] that lives on and in recent years inspired a PBS television special on its impact."
* Newton's Inspiring Story: "John Newton? The slave ship captain caught in a powerful storm who struck a bargain with God, promising to set the slaves free if the Almighty saves their lives? And after God calmed the storm, Newton instantly converted to Christianity, freed the captives and quit the slave trade?"
* Oft-Told: "Over the years, you’ve probably heard (maybe preached) that story, or some modified version of it. I heard it early in my Christian life."
* But: "The only problem is none of it is true, according to Christine Schaub, author of The Longing Season, a best-selling historical novel that tells the story of Newton and his beloved hymn."
