Losing It at the Movies

Brian DePalma's fiasco. Also: Borderline Huckabee. Foer Play. Patents and the small inventor. Plus more.
p> BRIAN'S SONGS br> Re: Jeff Emanuel's Redacted Ad Absurdum : /p> p>Perhaps, with the latest spate of anti-American films, speeches, and appearances, the entertainment community has finally gone a bridge too far. One can only hope so. br> -- Ken Shreve /p>

I'm surprised that none of the reviewers of Redacted have pointed out that Brian DePalma has done this movie before. Casualties of War depicts a squad of soldiers kidnapping and raping a Vietnamese girl after an ambush kills several of their buddies.

p>It's bad enough that DePalma is a derivative hack who made his reputation by ripping off Hitchcock, but he is now apparently looking to his own earlier work for inspiration. Talk about a dry well... br> -- Mike Harris br> MAJ, QM
