The Next Man or The Arab Conspiracy or Double Hit (Sean Connery plays an Arab Minister????)
He has played a Russian in The Hunt for Red October and an adventurer who calls Africa home in his last movie, the underappreciated League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Now we get to The Next Man, a movie about an Arab minister, played by Mr. Connery who ruffles feathers with his radical ideas and makes enemies. Its a good movie that many have lambasted and thrown in the trash heap, but it's worth a look.
Now if this movie had come out today, the social justice warriors would have accused Hollywood of whitewashing and demand an Arab actor play the lead. But the question I'm sure was asked back then ….."How many times can Omar Shariff play the Arab in movies?????? "
Whitewashing is a real thing, as was satirically done in Tropic Thunder. In that movie, Robert Downey Jnr plays an Australian actor who takes the role of a black actor and is called out by the only other black actor in this fictional movie that was being made.
Acting is about selling the audience on a premise and for about 2 hours making us believe. Sean Connery played an Arab minister with a Scottish accent and for the run time, you didn't even notice it.

WW84 HURTS!!!
WTF!
What if I told you I shelled out $15 to watch Wonder Woman 1984 on HBOMAX and 30 minutes in, I was trying so hard to avoid the obvious conclusion.....this movie is gonna suck! It was like eating a cheese snack, but pretending it was an actual meal. Silly and quite frankly, should only be watched as a streaming movie.
Can you imagine risking Covid 19 exposure in a movie theatre to watch this disaster?
What was good? Pedro Pascal, period full stop.
What was bad? Direction, general storytelling, the year 1984
What was worse? Kristen Wig
What was ugly? The CGI in this movie
What was ok I guess? Chris Pine
What was the Saving grace? I actually got to see what else HBOMAX has to offer, I love Succession and started getting into Lovecraft Country
Finally, somebody please tell Patty Jenkins (director and screenplay) to go watch Wonder Woman, because it seems she forgot who the character was.
P.S. I don't know what to make of Gal Gadot's performance

One of the worst, low budget Oscars in recent memory took place and not many cared to watch it. Don't believe us? check out the ratings...

Why did the man bring a yam to the NFL tryouts? Because he heard they were looking for a “root” running back! 🏈😂
