Add the clip of the movie with Lincoln addressing the crowd as he leaves Illinois with an overlay of reenactments of events from the years as president:

Sampling of movie reviews:

The Christian Post has its own warning but also a special clip from a De Tocqueville scene:

There are more reviews I am sure and many will not like the movie.  Take the teens and young people out to the movie.  Even some of the older people may not have learned a couple of things in their history classes.

Again, stay through the credits at the end.

On July 2 I headed for Southlands theater location and got caught in repaving construction traffic and missed the start for the show, so I went to the AMC Highlands Ranch location and got tickets for both of the afternoon show times.  I really appreciated the content of the movie and the blending of the photography, recreations of the events, artwork, and music.  

I will note that Madison Rising's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner does not start until after the credits start showing so many people are missing that and some of the scenes that may have not made it into the main film.  Stay for that as well.

If you have seen the movie encourage others to go.  If you have not seen it, plan to go--it is the most appropriate weekend to go.  Do not wait for the DVD.  It is important to see it now and take those teenagers.

Jerome Corsi has an article in WND following a screening of the movie in New York City.  This sounds really good.

The movie is set to open nationwide on July 2 and several theaters in the Denver metro area will show it then.

I have listened to the audio book that was released recently and that may offer some insight to the approach to the movie.  Of course the book is available in print.

It sounds like some theaters will open on July 2 for the movie.  I hope that many people in Colorado are registering their interest at the "demand" link on Dinesh D'Souza's web site.  Meanwhile, this is a good article about what some think the box office may do.
