Jew Movies
The votes are in and critics, at least at Entertainment Weekly, prefer Ushpizin over Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic.
EW rates Ushpizin a B+ and Jesus is Magic a B-.
Is that a victory of Torah over trash-talk? Or modestly dressed Jews over cleavage and bare midriffs?
or of a reasonably well-made, if conventional, movie with good acting and a plot over an attempt to stretch a single-person comedy routine into a movie?
a twenty minute single person comedy routine into a movie. 30% of which is racist. B-? I wanted my money back.
I can’t wait to see both of these movies. THIS WEEK FOR BOTH, G-d willing…
Sarah Silverman is racist in the same way that Sascha Cohen’s Borat is anti-semetic. In other words, it’s parody, she’s making fun of this ignorant, self-absorbed character she plays. Remember her tongue-kissing herself in the mirror? And I would say the race stuff was way more than 30% of the movie…
