"The Taking Of Pelham 123" is a disturbing film. One thought it would be cinematic, along the lines of hostage dramas, such as "Air Force One" and with an actor such as Oscar winner, Denzel Washington, starring as one of the leads, one expected big things.
Instead, one got approximately 100 minutes of gory gratuitous violence and non-stop profanity, grating on one's ears. The film had a good synopsis, but the screenwriter and director miserably failed in bringing it to the big screen.
Washington stars as a mass transit worker in New York, placed in a brutal hostage crisis, opposite Scientologist actor, John Travolta, as a kidnapper that hijacks a train named "Pelham 123."
Once again, the storyline went to a lot of violent, dark and profane places it did not need to go, rendering it jarring and nauseating, rather than entertaining.
"Law Abiding Citizen" is a crazy, macabre, infringing movie, starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. The Celluloid Film Review never gets films like this one. The unnecessary gore and gratuitous violence that could not have a positive impact on moviegoers' psyche, is stupid and superfluous. The film is also grizzly, when it is not even classified as a horror film.
The movie is about a man who is attacked in his home, his wife brutally murdered and his preteen daughter sexually assaulted and killed in his presence, enraging him so, he hunts down the perpetrators, viciously killing them one by one. He also murderously targets law enforcement and court officials that failed him.
This was not a pleasant movie. It was very sick and twisted. As such, it gets no love from the Celluloid Film Review and is not recommended.
The Democrats in Congress have been blaming former Republican U.S. Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, for the torrent of abuse, death threats they have been facing, since President Obama's new health care bill was signed into law. Democrats are claiming, Palin's words and lack thereof in denouncing violence, provoked and propagated it.
Palin's words to supporters may have been misinterpreted when she stated, "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't retreat, Instead - RELOAD." Maybe Palin needs to state she does not mean it literally.
Polls indicate Republican and Democratic voters are angry over the bill, as it has an overwhelming disapproval rating. Some want it repealed, while others desire to have it improved.
In the aftermath of the passage of U.S. President Barack Obama's health care bill, the nation's capital, Washington, which is also the seat of government, has become the Wild Wild West.
House Minority Whip, Republican, Eric Cantor
Pro-life Republican Congressman, Eric Cantor, reported a gunshot was fired through his office window. The Democrats are also reporting death threats, vandalism and slurs being directed towards them.
President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Once again, violence and threats are unnecessary. If you don't like what you saw, vote people out. The elections are right around the corner. Make your voice heard in the form of your vote.

Beyonce And Lady Gaga's lesbian artwork for their song and video "Telephone"
CNN originally reported that MTV banned Lady Gaga and Beyonce's sick new video "Telephone" due to its explicit content. Today, MTV is challenging that report. The Music Television Network stated they never banned the raunchy, inappropriate video.
The CNN employee assumed, because the video was so highly inappropriate for respectable viewing hours, the clip was automatically banned from the network.
Beyonce has repulsed her dwindling fan base with the "Telephone" video, as many of her audience is stating she is a hypocrite for calling herself a Christian, yet participating in something so debauched and ungodly, due to the fact, the music video with Lady Gaga contains nudity, lesbianism, gratuitous violence, profanity and mass murder.
When will they learn - Beyonce does not worship God, she worships money and fame. It will be her downfall, as she has broken the law to obtain more money and fame.
Previously, on February 18, 2010, in the Madonna Is Jealous Of Lady Gagaarticle, theJudiciary Report noted that Madonna had put Lady Gaga up to dressing like her during her "Vogue" days, for a stage performance, where the younger singer fell down on stage twice (and that Gaga had joined the Kabablah cult at Madonna's insistence).
This week's debut of Lady Gaga and Beyonce's video "Telephone" revealed Gaga dressed like Madonna again, as a favor to the leech that has latched on to her. Even mainstream publications have noted it this week.
According to a credible source privy to what transpired, as reported several weeks ago on this site, Madonna is afraid of her falling fame and seeks to remind audiences of who she was when she was popular and that is the root of her "pestering" Lady Gaga to dress up like her, during her heyday that is long gone.
When you think about it, that's pretty pathetic. Some people don't know when to call it a day. Madonna has been angrily whining to industry insiders that "her career can't be over" when her record sales say it is done.
She has troubled many an industry personnel regarding several artists she sees as rival, either asking them to limit their exposure in the form of less publicity (TV, magazines, news websites, blogs and airplay) or attach her name to PR items regarding them.
There is one editor that got tired of Madonna sending over articles regarding Angelina Jolie with her name (Madonna) embedded in the piece for publication.
She kept using her ex-husband Guy Ritchie's tie to Brad Pitt, as a form of name dropping connecting her to Jolie and in other instances, exploiting the African adoption angle, in pairing her name with Angelina's for greater PR visibility, riding on the actress' coattails.
By Mary Papenfuss| Posted Mar 15, 10 4:42 AM CDT - (Newser) – Is MTV growing chicken in its old age, or was it all a big misunderstanding? Fox News and CNN reported that the steamy new Lady Gaga-Beyoncé music video (watch here) for Telephone was too hot to handle for MTV, which reportedly pulled it Saturday. But MTV officials immediately denied the reports, with one tweeting: "The reports are false... the video's been airing."
Maybe MTV just had a commercial change of heart after the 9-minute video grabbed more than 12 million views on YouTube.
Iraqi Christians have come out in droves to protest the murders of their brothers and sisters in the faith, in the war torn Middle Eastern country.
Muslims have murdered Christians in Iraq, in senseless acts of violence, which does not help their case in the world. May the Christians of Iraq remain peaceful and strong in the faith, knowing that God will give them their reward in heaven. God bless you.
Iraqi Christians protest slayings, Pope concerned
Sun Feb 28, 2010 12:47pm EST
MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - At least 1,000 minority Christians, many holding olive branches, marched in protest near the restive city of Mosul on Sunday to urge the Iraqi government to act decisively after a series of killings.
At least eight Christians have been killed in the last two weeks in the turbulent northern city, 390 km (250 miles) north of Baghdad, prompting Pope Benedict to appeal on Sunday for Iraq's Christians to be better protected.
Two of those attacked had gone missing, their bodies later found dumped in the street with gunshot wounds. Others were shot dead in the street, near their homes, or at their place of work.
Some 683 Christian families, or 4,098 people, fled Mosul between February 20 and 27 following the attacks, a United Nations report said on Sunday.
The murders came just weeks before Iraq's March 7 parliamentary election, which has the potential to help cement an end to seven years of war or plunge a still-divided country into a new cycle of violence.
"I appeal to the civil authorities to complete every effort to give security again to the population, and in particular, to the most vulnerable religious minorities," the Pope said in his weekly blessing from Vatican City.
Priests in religious vestments led the protest procession in the Christian town of Hamdaniya, 40 km (25 miles) east of Mosul.
"The blood of innocents screams for terrorism and violence to be stopped," read one banner.
Sunni Islamist insurgents such as al Qaeda have long targeted Christians, Yazidis, Shabaks, and other Iraqi minorities, as well as majority Shi'ites, whom they consider heretics. Christians number an estimated 750,000 in Iraq, a small minority in a country of 28 million...
