HOLLYWOOD PREPS ANTI-MILITARY/ANTI-WAR MOVIES

From the story: …coming films also use the damaged Iraq veteran to raise questions about a continuing war. In “Grace Is Gone,” directed by James C. Strouse and due in October from the Weinstein Company, John Cusack and two daughters struggle with the loss of a wife and mother who is killed on duty. Kimberly Peirce’s “Stop-Loss,” set for release in March by Paramount, meanwhile, casts Ryan Phillippe as a veteran who defies an order that would send him back to Iraq. One producer admitted his film was deliberately scheduled to be released in the middle of the presidential campaign season.
