I had the opportunity to watch a so called action film last night entitled Shoot 'Em Up. It starred Clive Owen (Inside Man) and Paul Giamatti (Lady in the Water). Giamatti's character was a a mercenary of sorts who (among other things) is paid to assainate a new born child. He is the picture of evil in this movie. The problem that I have with the movie is that throughout the movie he wears a coat that has a Masonic lapel pin on it. It is very evident in just about every shot that he has in the movie almost to the point that its a prop.
Because the character has no redeeming values, I would doubt that Giamatti himself is a Mason, because I couldn't see a Mason wanting to portray such a negative image of a Brother.
I think that the producers of the movie may have deliberately wanted to reflect a negative light on the Craft.
If you have seen the movie, please post your thoughts.

I haven't seen it yet, but did some research on it too, and couldn't find a good reason for the S&C to be in it.
I'll have to look for it now on DVD to really get the full effect.
I think the film intended to do this. If you notice most of Giamatti's flunkies are in Masonic garb, the black suit, white shirt, and black necktie. I believe it was subtly trying to play on the general suspicion surrounding Masonry and it's connection with politics in the US.
I don't think it's going to have near the impact that Dan Brown's new book will have, though.
Hey bro its good to see your blog...I saw that movie the other day.. Very distributing....
