Perhaps it will reinforce Sean's theory about who really killed his dad.

No sign of it where I live.
Did the opening date get moved?
It was supposed to have been today.
I smell a conspiracy....

Indeed! No, it turns out it is opening only in LA and NY today, which is little far for me. It clearly deserves wide release, but I suspect an upcoming "art house" distribution, but no cookie cutter multiplexes. Maybe not, we'll see.

Perhaps John would get a kick out of the fact that it's 99 minutes long..

Here's a review from yesterday's New York Post (9/15/06)
WHEN NIXON SAID: GIVE DEPORTATION A CHANCE
2 and 1/2 stars out of 4
"Nothing startlingly new."
by Lou Lumenick
" 'The U.S. vs. John Lennon" documents the Nixon administration's failed,
almost comically inept attempt to deport the most political of The Beatles and his wife, Yoko Ono.
Given the latter's cooperation with the fillmmakers with 40 songsand a lot of fascinating footage
- including John and Yoko's famous sleep-ins for peace - much of which was shown
in an earlier documentary she authorized, "Imagine".
The story is rounded out by interviews with such Lennon pals as Gore Vidal, anti-war activist Ron Kovic,
and Bllack Panthers leader Bobby Seale.
Nixon - represented here by news interviews with his White House counsel John Dean
and wacko G. Gordon Liddy, his chief Watergate "plumber" -
decided Lennon was dangerous
when his presence at a rally for an obscure political prisoner helped get the man released from prison.
Urged on by Sen. Strom Thurmond and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, the administration spent six years
trying to get rid of Lennon, an elooquent voice against the war in Vietnan who had a lot of powerful friends.
The film glosses over Lennon's drug use and his separations from Yoko, and concentrates on his politics,
his music - especially the anti-war anthem "Give Peace A Chance" - and his years as a New Yorker.
Nixon, of course, was forced to resign because of Waatergate - and Lennon received his green card
on the same day his son with Yoko, Sean Lennon, was born. The film's brief coda covers Lennon's assassination.
"The U.S. vs John Lennon," which will eventually be shown on VH1, seems aimed primarily
at nostalgistss and members of Generation Y who are barely aware of the Vietnam era.""
(The New York Post loves George Bush and all things Republican, for what it's worth.)

The soundtrack is in stores now, I'd buy it but I have all of Lennons studio albums (unless you count Acoustic, Live in Toronto, and Live in NY, I dont have those  ) And it seems to just have songs from the albums I already own, with the exception of a instrumental track of How Do You Sleep and a track called Bed Peace, I didnt see a reason to buy it..... And if you where going to get some solo lennon, just buy Working Class Hero its just like the Wingspan collection (i.e. a good career overview with all the good stuff on 2 discs). Now I am waiting for george to get the career spanning 2 disc collection he so rightly deserves......... Hey, I could make one right now and I bet it would be wayyy better than that Best of George Harrison or whatever that is out now, its mostly just beatles songs........ |
