Up first today is The Man Who Would be Polka King. It’s about a man named Jan Lewan who was a polka star in PA, and who ran a ponzi scheme. Old people lost a ton of money, but I mean, I’m sorry to say this, but who invests money in a polka band and gift shop? I mean…common sense people. Jan is a pretty amazing individual, just so full of himself and how important he could be. Now he sits in state jail. Oh…something bad is about to happen…yep…four months after he went to jail he got stabbed, but lived. The victims that he conned all say that the guy didn’t stab him enough since he lived. WOW, people hate him.
The next movie up is For the Bible Tells Me So, about the view of homosexuality by the Christian Church. So far, the best quote was from Jimmy Swaggart, he of the prostitute hiring and lying, “I have never seen a man I would want to marry, and if one of them looks at me like that I will kill him and tell God he died.” This movie is really good. They seem to be fairly balanced…although they are somewhat pro-gay I will admit. They point out that many Biblical literalists collect interest on investments, which is against God. Oh, this is going to be fun for me, thank you movie for yet another awesome comeback! There is a woman who rejected her lesbian daughter because of the advice of her church, and because of her learning from Focus on the Family. The daughter then killed herself, and the woman realized how much she had missed by rejecting her daughter.
Now playing is Playing Columbine, which says that it is a discussion about a video game called “Super Columbine Massacre RPG!”. It was a Role Player Game where you are the shooters in Columbine. The movie touches on this topic, but really focuses more on how society blames video games and television etc, for the violence and school shooting. It is an interesting movie, a little heavy handed with the message, but since I agree with it I like the movie.
Last movie for today is Odds of Recovery about some lady who had a bunch of surgeries. Ok, so I am not a fan. I don’t like movies with no spoken narration but rely on short sentences to move the story. I also am not a fan of the camera work in this movie, because it rarely is focused on a person, but is mostly on other things. I am really not a fan, it seems like she is just focused on whining about her doctors.
