Brent Bozell is praising Oliver Stone's upcoming World Trade Center movie:

Alexandria, VA—Upon previewing the upcoming Paramount Pictures film, World Trade Center, Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center issued the following statement:

“World Trade Center is a masterpiece and must be seen by as many people as possible. Oliver Stone has created something spectacular and it deserves our nation’s gratitude. Conservatives and liberals will praise this movie.”

“For just a few hours following the attacks of September 11th, political ideologies fell by the wayside,” Bozell continued. “Americans came together for a rare moment to recognize the significance and fragility of life and liberty. This film captures that moment in time and honors the true essence of selfless love witnessed on that fateful day. It’s more than a movie – it’s a vivid reminder of the love, heroism, faith and patriotism that comprise the fabric of our country.”

World Trade Center tells the true story of two Port Authority police officers (portrayed by Nicholas Cage and Michael Pena) who volunteered to assist with the rescue of people trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11 – only to become buried alive in the rubble themselves. The story chronicles their heroic actions and how their faith, families, and new friendship kept them alive.

Update: Not everyone is happy with the film though--Nikke Finke (Cathy Seipp's bete noire) is angry with Oliver Stone for not bringing his usual keen political analysis to the table:

Aren’t there enough bland directors and bland movies in Hollywood without Stone and this film joining that noncontroversial ilk? More to the point: why shouldn’t this be a political film? The NYT may have ignored mention of this dilemma for Paramount, but I won’t: because, if the pic doesn’t do well overseas, then isn’t that a clear signal by other nationalities that the Dubya administration has utterly squandered the post-9/11 sympathy which the world so obviously felt for us?… For Stone to be backing off shows how much of a studio tool he’s become. After all, he likes his monied creature comforts out there in San Ynez Valley, so the big wuss will now go out of his way to please the Paramount poobahs by passing on the political statements he once was so famous for. There’s always the chance that Paramount is craven enough to already write off foreign moviegoers and just focus on those jingoistic U.S. types who wave the flag in one hand and hold a radio tuned to Limbaugh or Hannity or O’Reilly in the other…
