The Dukes!

Robert Davi has a new movie coming out.  I met Davi at the RNC. He's a great guy. He was hanging with Jon Voight .... that speaks volumes.

His new flick is breaking tomorrow, The Dukes,  and the leftard movie reviewers are  eviscerating  (shocka!) it because he's not a .... leftard. So if you're free tonight go and show your support of our peeps in the Follywood.
Lis DaPasquale caught the flick, check out here review here.

Davi’s Passion for Politics and Movie Making Lisa De Pasqualee

In support of Sen. Norm Coleman’s campaign several right-of-center actors participated in a campaign video.  Among the leftist blogs, most of the actors were insulted for being “has-beens” and “Bible thumpers.”  Except one.  Robert Davi was called a “great character actor.”  Another said, “Don’t diss Robert Davi.”

An actor friend said, “Robert Davi is the kind of actor that other actors want to be.  You want his roles.  You want his commitment.  You want his passion for ac ting.”

To many, Davi is best known for playing the bad guy.  Jake Fratelli in The Goonies.  Franz Sanchez in License to Kill.  Aziz in An American Carol.  He’s also been on the other side of the law as FBI Special Agent Johnson in Die Hard and Agent Bailey Malone in Profiler.  In The Dukes Davi plays “Danny DePasquale,” a former Doo Wop singer whose time in the spotlight has passed.  He is now working in his aunt’s failing restaurant.  The Dukes is Davi’s debut as a writer and director.

“Directing is a way for me to open that book andexpress to the world much more of who I am and what I would like to say,” said Davi.

These are true Americans -the best of Americans - for risking their careers by standing up and speaking their minds even when it is very unpopular in the media-entertainment world and current political environment of the USA.

As they understand that there is a very large audience that will appreciate their work, they will hopefully put their creativity and talents into creating their own production companies (and in the internet age - be able to promote and sell more easily then the "traditional" methods).

Thanks for blogging this story!
