Non-Cultural Appropriated Film Synopsis: "In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk.

At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated."

The grim reality soon to be learned by the West is that just because you forget about nature, does not mean that nature forgets about you.

One of the oldest myths of mankind is that during a time of penultimate crisis, ancient heroes will return to the land in order to rescue society from its own blind and self-destructive foolishness.

For the first 15 or 20 minutes of The Angry Birds Movie, I felt bored, frustrated and alienated – and then I got it, and had to bow before a spectacularly confident stroke of movie-making genius.

What is the Truth About Angry Birds: The Movie?

“Star Wars” occupies an epic and unique place in the pantheon of youthful fantasies, and the recent reboot by JJ Abrams deepens and extends the glowing mayhem and radical anti-family message of the original series.

The original Star Wars emerged during a time of catastrophic family breakdown in the West – the divorce rate had risen 300% from the 1960s to the 1970s – leaving hundreds of millions of boys without fathers.
