DVD Reviews of United 93 (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: Propaganda Film.
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this movie years ago before I started to listen to conspiracy theorists and then did my own research.
If you take facts from a Hollywood movie and an administration that have been caught lying about WMD, scapegoat Bin Laden, the anthrax scare, illegal torturing, etc. -- then you're living in a fantasy world.
Notice how Bush, Cheney, and many of his supporting puppets, like Giuliani, can't keep up with their lies. Their lies are clearly on tape numerous times when they are interviewed. They will simply deny the truth just like people who don't question anything about 9/11.
The fact is, it's not only "conspiracy theorists" wanting the truth just because (according to anti-truthers) "they just crave attention". Many family victims and soldiers fighting in Iraq question 9/11. People that easily accept the government's story cover up are the ones who are going against all the people that died in vain.
What are we fighting for? For our safety? How odd that our country, considered to have the best defense in the world, and a building called the Pentagon, undeniably having one of the top securities/defense itself -- even when the whole nation is on alert and having very similar drills exactly an year before -- is still attacked by a group of "terrorists" said to be terrible pilots (could not even fly a single-engine plane, yet somehow pulled off impossible maneuvers at low altitudes with a 757, after supposedly knocking over poles); a "mastermind in a cave", are able to pull this off -- all on the same day. Yet, some people laugh more at the idea that it was a work of a CIA? Hmm. Many people know the name "Bin Laden" after 2001. It's become a household name. But you'd be surprised how many people, many of whom that just don't question, still don't even know that a third tower, World Trade Center 7, even collapsed; since it was not hit by a plane -- like controlled demolition. And if they don't know that much, they probably don't even know it was the headquarters of the CIA (among others, FBI, DoD...)
When you really look at 9/11, there are smoking guns at every corner. Laws of physics being defied. No dead bodies at the scene. There are many questions unanswered, key witnesses mysteriously dying, evidences being hidden -- like many surveillance videos being confiscated showing no Boeing 757 -- yet it's more tragic that there are still people out there that don't question at all, and rather support towards shutting out the truth by supporting the government's story; or just simply lost interest all together because of other media distractions, such as more important things like, "Would Paris Hilton be okay in Jail?".
The fact of the matter is, saying it's a "conspiracy" is considered taboo, so people just shut them out right away. Some people just can't handle the truth. They rather live a lie and ponder over more: "Who would win the next American Idol?"
I thought wow, United 93 is a powerful movie, especially the last few minutes. No question. It's a well-made fictional movie. But what this is, in end, is nothing but propaganda.
We mostly watch movies for entertainment -- to make us feel happy, laugh, and be sad, etc. -- and if you want entertainment to simply make you feel sad or angry, then this movie can be it. However, just keep in mind this is not a documentary, and if you feel anger after the movie, in reality, the people that we should be "mad as hell" at are not the "terrorists" depicted in this movie. We have traitors in our country committing mass murder and getting away with it.
Todd Beamer's "Let's Roll." (by the way, there is no recording of that account) -- it was the perfect heroic image the government needed, just like the "Bin Laden" image for the "terrorists". It is also sick that his wife, Lisa Beamer, is capitalizing on her husband's death and catch phrase.
History repeats itself. Nazi's Enabling Act 1933 and Patriot Act 2001. Reichstag fire and 9/11. Scary, isn't?
Take truth as the authority, instead of authority as the truth.
DVD Review: Sheep and Shills rally hard
Summary: 1 Stars
first off, even if the events were true, which they are 100% contrived, it wasnt even that riveting compared to other fictional movies we have all seen on a myriad of unrelated topics... so suspend your gullibility for 45 minutes and listen to someone who has actually open mindedly researched the incident (not me, his name is Rowland Morgan).
Ummm... the movie was fiction made of pure fiction ... if you want the truth go to below ... sickens me they make propganda like this, just sham for whoever died on 9/11 ... no plane at shanksville or pentagon, no engines found anywhere that match a 767 or 757, those puppies dont dissolve. Have you ever asked yourself why they can't find them, or why there isn't legit film from the 84 pentagon cams, or 1000 other questions?
How many hours have you spent investigating the events, or do you just swallow everything you see on TV as the gospel? Lord knows Fox News, CNN, and Bush are bastions of truth. Exceed your paradigm, try looking into things for once.

Guns and Butter - Rowland Morgan Flight 93 Revealed 20080227.mp3
DVD Review: United 93 Movie Review
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is an account of flight United 93 during the attack on the U.S. during 9/11.
There was sort of an eerie feel to watching it, knowing what the end would be and knowing that it was a true account. The movie really drew you in. I found my heart just breaking for the people aboard that plane and cannot imagine the emotions they must have felt for such a long period of time. Their courage was nothing short of remarkable.
A couple of things I didn't like about the movie however, one was many of the scenes in the airport tower I couldn't hear, they had the background noise of people talking too loud and it was very difficult to decipher background noise from the main person talking.
Also, I didn't care for the ending, yes it was dramatic, but there was a sense of "is this movie really over now?" Not sure what I expected from the ending, but it just didn't feel done.
Overall, it was very well done and truly nothing we should ever forget. My heart goes out to each family who lost loved ones.
DVD Review: A Great Story of American Heroes
Summary: 5 Stars
On the horrible day of 9/11/01, there were few bright spots. The heroism of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 was a major exception.
The events are well known to all. On the day when four airliners were hijacked by radical Islamic terrorists, those on this craft fought back. After the killers took over the airplane, several of those on board spoke with their loved ones by phone. They found out about the other airliners that were flown into the World Trade Center and decided to go down fighting. This is their story.
The creators of this movie did a great job of recreating the events of that day. It is very well done and very powerful. Every American should watch this and honor their memories.
DVD Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
United 93 manages to work as an incredibly skillfull thriller, building a great deal of tension up to a climax, and as a testament to those who lost their lives on 9/11; either way you slice it it's quite a film.
Description of United 93 (Widescreen Edition)
A defining day in our history. It's an event that shook the world. Honest, unflinching and profoundly moving, United 93 tells the unforgettable story of the heroic passengers and crew members who prevented the terrorists from carrying out their plans for the fourth hijacked plane on September 11, 2001. As on-ground military and civilian teams scrambled to make sense of the unfolding events, forty people sat down as strangers found the courage to stand up as one.One of the most shocking events in modern American history gets a skilled and respectful treatment in United 93. The movie begins by following the four terrorists who hijacked the plane that never reached its target on 9/11/2001, tracking them as they enter the airport and wait for their flight, surrounded by the people who will die from their actions. From there, it cuts to and fro among air traffic controllers and the military as, gradually, it becomes clear that planes are being hijacked and crashed into buildings. As the focus turns to the captive United Flight 93, the passengers discover, due to cell phone connections with family, that they're on a suicide mission and--almost paralyzed by stress and anxiety--decide to fight back. Most movies create tension by implying what might happen, but with United 93 the audience knows exactly what happened: Every person on that plane died. As a result, the movie is more relentlessly gut-wrenching than suspenseful (though the dawning realization of the air traffic controllers has an effective creeping dread). But writer/director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy) manages to keep the scale of the events human; there are no glamorous heroics, only terrifying confusion and desperate, hopeless bravery. One can only hope the movie brings some peace to the families of the passengers, as United 93 is the cinematic equivalent of a war memorial, commemorating lives lost in a moment of horrible, harrowing conflict. --Bret Fetzer
