Was there even a critic that did like ‘Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed’? Words as ‘propaganda,’ ‘insulting,’ ‘brainwashing’ and ‘hysterical’ were used to describe this documentary. Jokes about its subtitle and just plain ridiculing made this a movie nobody in their right mind would watch. Right? Wrong!

While it does have a metacritic.com score of 2.0, it still managed to make $6.6 million including last weekend. This makes it the 13th highest grossing documentary in the US. “It’s done exceptionally well when you look at it as a documentary film,” producer Mark Mathis said.

He blames the media for not getting more people to see his movie. “Michael Moore comes out with a film and Michael Moore gets large amounts of time on morning shows –- NBC, ABC, CBS, cable networks. He gets tens of millions of dollars of free publicity because Big Media see the world in general the way he does.“

Can you really blame the media for not picking up on what most describe as the worst movie of the year? He should be happy the little controversy made him the $6.6 million. I didn’t see the movie, but as I understand it, it wasn’t worth a penny of that $6.6 million. At least you can accuse Michael Moore of some objectivity.

Is she this desperate for some money? Yoko Ono (and co.) is suing the creators of the controversial ‘Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed’ for using the song ‘Imagine’ in their documentary. While the movie is a critical flop, it still managed to get a bunch of people into the cinema. Which means they made money and, well, Yoko Ono could probably smell it and wanted some.

Of course, you have to draw the line somewhere and if they don’t sue, people might actually think they can freely use John Lennon’s music. And Yoko is probably not in for such a party.

The film makers, in their defense, say they used the song as a political comment and “are disappointed therefore that Yoko Ono and others have decided to challenge our free speech.” Yeah, they probably don’t mind if we illegally download their movie as free speech either.
