CAL THOMAS KUDOS OLIVER STONE    [Jack Fowler]

America’s most widely syndicated columnist has seen Stone’s World Trade Center movie and has high praise for the film and the man who made it. Here’s a snippet from Cal’s latest column.

I have a long list of favorite patriotic movies, including “Victory at Sea,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “Sands of Iwo Jima,” but Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center” is right up there with the best of them. It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-faith, pro-male, flag-waving, G-d Bless America films you will ever see. . . . Whatever one thinks of Oliver Stone, the man knows how to make movies. This is one of his best. It deserves an Oscar in so many categories. It also deserves the thanks of a grateful nation. Go and see it beginning Aug. 9 and make him a large profit so he might consider inspiring us again, as his predecessors so often did during Hollywood’s Golden Age.

I attended an advance screening of the film last week. I can assure you: Cal is dead-on.
