	FrontPage magazine.com :: Listen to Tim Robbins Whine by Michael Reagan
		Robbins rails against the Iraq war — a war that was waged against a socialist regime.
		Robbins’ main complaint is not that he’s being gagged — he can’t claim that when just about every word he speaks gets reported by the liberal media — but that the American people can’t be forced to pay attention to his ranting.
		If Tim Robbins can’t get his demented views across, it’s not because he’s being gagged, but because his fellow Americans don’t want to listen to him spewing out his hatred for George Bush and all the values they hold dear.

	Embedded with Tim Robbins -- In These Times
		Embedded, written and directed by Tim Robbins, is a play that examines the War in Iraq through its key players: the Bush officials who concocted it, the embedded journalists who covered it and the soldiers who fought it.
		Robbins has now turned Embedded into a film and released it on DVD (http://www.embeddedlive.com).
		I wonder to what extent Robbins didn’t go straight to theaters because not enough theaters wouldn’t be willing to show a controvercial film, criticizing Bush and his policies so harshly, in order for the venture to be economically feasible.

	Salon Arts & Entertainment \| "Cradle Will Rock" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As an actor, Robbins has brought subtlety and nuance to characters as disparate as the student civil-rights volunteer in "Five Corners," the addled Southern poet in "Miss Firecracker," the horny, hotshot pitcher in "Bull Durham" and the slimy young studio exec in "The Player."
		At the center of Robbins' panorama of the '30s is the story of the Federal Theatre Project's 1937 production of the Marc Blitzstein operetta "The Cradle Will Rock." An offshoot of FDR's Works Projects Administration, the FTP was intended to put theater professionals to work.
		Robbins doesn't have the skill or the distinction to keep this circus-like atmosphere from tumbling into broadness, and when that happens all you can see is how clumsy the film is next to the screwball comedies it wants to emulate.

		Superbly adapted and directed by Tim Robbins from the nonfiction book of the same name by Sister Helen Prejean, this spiritually enlightened drama is too intelligent to traffic in polemics or self-righteous pontifications against the death penalty.
		Robbins avoids a biased message, letting the movie examine both sides of the issue instead (R. Lee Ermey gives a fine performance as the grief-stricken father of one of Penn's victims).
		The main reason why I gave this movie four stars is that Tim Robbins provides changes of perspective and does not try to push the audience in one direction.
