How did “Lions” do compared with “The Kingdom”?
I know The Kingdom was a good movie. Although it wasn’t an “Iraq War” movie, it has the War on Terror theme.

I popped in on the set of “The Kingdom” over by the old Williams AFB housing right after they finished filming. Very impressive looking blown up buildings!

“The Kingdom” has had a worldwide gross of $78,285,950 since opening Sept. 28. The reviewer only quotes the domestic gross. I liked “The Kingdom.” It is about Saudi Arabia rather than Iraq but it is a positive look on the War on Terror and a good action flick. Michael Mann—Miami Vice, Collateral, Heat, The Aviator(Howard Hughes bio)—was the producer.

Most of Hollywood is so delusional and self-absorbed they are incapable of producing anything but celluloid dogsh*t.
