of "(Un)Defeated". Sarah's not going home with an Oscar.

-snip-

(I)ts tone is an excruciating combination of bombast and whining, it’s so outlandishly partisan that it makes Richard Nixon look like Abraham Lincoln and its febrile rush of images — not excluding earthquakes, car wrecks, volcanic eruption and attacking Rottweilers — reminded me of the brainwash movie Alex is forced to sit through in “A Clockwork Orange.” Except no one came along to refresh my pupils with eyedrops.

If you’re hopeful (or worried) that this movie is the secret trigger for a Palin relaunch, don’t be. Even if you fixed the blaring soundtrack and took out all the symbols of the cataclysmic evil opposing Palin (barking dogs, disaster footage, a closeup of Rosie O’Donnell), you’d still be left with a hopeless sputtering jumble.

-snip-

In one scene, we’re told she didn’t care about polls; in the next, she’s bragging about her approval rating (88%). She says she doesn’t put much stock in such surveys — yet “I figured my administration must be doing something right.” So does her recent approval rating of 28% tell her that she must be doing something wrong?

1. Is this that movie about that book-writing lady that everybody is trying to forget?
Or is this that movie that everybody forgot about that book that lady wrote?

I keep getting them confused

2. This same reviewer gave a decent review to ATLAS SHRUGGED!

I'M JUST SAYIN......so I guess this is like way worse that that? If she was ever gonna get a decent review it would be from this Murdoch tool. More likely the rumors she is squabbling with Fox brass are true and they sticking it to each other!

3. I think I see one of the problems
Well, besides the subject.

Someone made a two-hour movie for $1 million--which is barely enough to cover the cost of materials.
