Debbie Schlussel "Another disappointing weekend at the box office. I did not see “Son of God.”
Here are the movies, new at theaters this weekend, which I did see."
"* “Non-Stop“: As I’ve told you in the past, actor Liam
Neeson said he considered converting to Islam and claimed that the lion in “The Chronicles of Narnia” and
“The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe” movies is Mohammed (and not
Jesus, which author C.S. Lewis specifically wrote the lion to represent).
..."And this movie is consistent with
Neeson’s multi-orgasms for Islam. In other words, you know who the villain
probably isn’t." (And that turned out to be the case)
....
"But the identity of the hijacker(s) in this movie and their motive is so
absurd–so outrageous!–that it makes the rest of the movie absurd. The first 1.5
hours of this movie is okay, until the identity and motive of the villain(s) is
disclosed. And while a good mystery/thriller gives you some hint of who the
villain is and his/her motive, this movie gives almost none." (Spoiler coming)
Let's mentally scroll through the list of previously known Hollywood villains:
Developers? Hedge-fund managers? Republicans? Talk show hosts? Christians? White supremacists! Yes, that's who must be the bad guys! No...not that either. It's.....it's....wait for it....bitter ex-military guys, mad about the war in Iraq/ Afghanistan. The old Springsteenish "what were we fighting for?" meme. TD
"As I said, it’s a great movie until these revelations drain all
juice from the film. Until then, I’d have given it TWO REAGANS. But the
“resolution” of the movie changes it entirely to . . .
