A movie review of the latest "O' what a good person Anjelina Jolie is" pic, A Mighty Heart, which is supposed to be story of the search for kidnapped journalist David Pearl by his wife, Mariane Pearl.
If we are to believe Ebert's review the director Michael Winterbottom apparently has the "tact and taste" to make a movie about an act of Islamic terrorism that actually leaves out the Islamic terrorism.
If only Mr. Ebert had managed to exercise the same taste and tact, but alas he feels the need to throw some disjointed political commentary the readers way, such as...
We reflect that the majority of Muslims do not approve of the behavior of Islamic terrorists, just as the majority of Americans disapprove of the war in Iraq.
The Americans who complain about "negative" news are the ideological cousins of those who shoot at CNN crews.At least he isn't sharing with us the latest "...if only I had had a gun and been assigned to interview Bush,...oops I mean Hitler" fantasies of some of his journalistic brethren.
Hat tip to Jules Crittenden...
