American Sniper
This is a film about a war with no purpose where many surviving veterans come back emotionally scarred. If our government won’t fund the VA to help them, who will?

Commentary on Oscar Nominations for 2015
With a few exceptions, I thought the Oscar nominations largely captured the best films and performances in an otherwise weak year.
Selma
Racism was alive and well in 1964, and it is foolish to suggest that it has disappeared today.
Inherent Vice
Anyone claiming to like this cinematic disaster should be exempt from spending eternity in Hell. Why would the Devil want to ruin his mood and have you hanging around?
Unbroken
Is it acceptable to condemn Japanese treatment of POWs in World War II and ignore our country’s use of torture in the last 15 years?
Into the Woods
This is a magical film that found some audience members clapping at the end, I didn’t, but I wanted to.
Big Eyes
Given the very funny court scene that wraps up a movie devoid of humor, this is a film trial lawyers will love.
The Imitation Game
It is time we recognize the profound harm that we continue to inflict on our own citizens, particularly homosexuals.
The Interview
Rather than succeeding at being a satirical spoof of North Korea, the film makes Americans look like fools. “USA”, “USA!”
