...city, controversy erupted. "Tel Aviv is the military center of Israel," said Canadian author Naomi Klein, "a place from which fighter jets departed on their missions to Gaza last December-January." Soon it was mandatory for politically active stars to take sides. Sacha Baron Cohen, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Voight and Oprah Winfrey voiced their support for the program; Harry Belafonte, Julie Christie, Jane Fonda and Viggo Mortensen were all for a boycott. Politics aside (which it never is at a film festival), the protesters ignored Israel's recent emergence as a vital national cinema - and that many of the country...
...ghost of J.F.K.? Yes, this is an update of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with Kennedy as Marley's Ghost. George S. Patton (Kelsey Grammer) is the Ghost of America Past, George Washington (Jon Voight) the Ghost of America Present, and an Angel of Death (Trace Adkins) points Malone to the future. From these wraiths we learn that pacifists like Malone would have been responsible for the continuation of slavery into the 21st century (because they opposed the Civil War) and for the Holocaust (you know why).

So are the actors who play three ghosts who visit Malone to awaken his patriotism--Kelsey Grammer as George Patton, Jon Voight as George Washington and Chriss Anglin as Republicans' favorite Democrat, John F. Kennedy. Conservative country singer Trace Adkins shows up as the angel of death, and Bill O'Reilly plays another imposing figure: himself. To persuade Malone, the ghosts frighten him with visions of classic liberal villains--zombie ACLU lawyers staggering...
That's because, movie-industry Republicans will tell you quietly, tilting right in Hollywood isn't just rare; it can hurt your career. "Why aren't there more Republicans in Hollywood?" asks Voight. "If you answer that, you get into trouble." He recently wrote an anti--Barack Obama Op-Ed in the Washington Times that led a Hollywood blogger to suggest that producers should deny him roles. "If they don't like my acting, that's one thing," Voight says. "But to encourage a blacklisting of somebody for their political views...
