Kyle Smith Reviews “The Kingdom”

Kyle Smith makes me want to go see The Kingdom in a theater, rather than waiting for it to become available through Netflix:

“The Kingdom” is the anti-”Syriana”: yes, it says, the Middle East is very, very complicated–but Americans have solved tougher problems, thanks very much.

For a movie that has anything to do with that sandy oilgarden overseas to even suggest that Americans are the good guys amounts to a radical statement from director Peter Berg (”Friday Night Lights”). After a terrorist attack kills dozens of Americans living in Saudi Arabia, you keep waiting for anyone to suggest that we kinda deserve it, but no one ever does.

Do you find news here worth reading? Do you agree (or disagree) with my slant on that news? Buy me a cup of coffee! My recipe for a daily cup: 8 ounces of 2% milk, 2 shots of espresso, 4 shakes of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a topping of light whipped cream. Drop a tip in my jar — whatever amount you want, whatever amount you think I've earned.
