Print Christian Toto Follow Read Full Bio Bill Maher, Alec Baldwin Head Hollywood's Protected Class of Haters Bill Maher and Alec Baldwin appear to have very little in common - at first. Yet both are able to do or say virtually anything without the liberal Thought Police knocking at their door. 21 Feb 2013 'Argo' Blu-ray Review: Ben Affleck's Directorial Snub Only Blemish on Oscar-worthy Thriller Director Ben Affleck's "Argo" continues its impressive post-release run, from gathering virtually every statue not named Oscar to hitting home video less than a week before the Academy Awards telecast. 21 Feb 2013 Oscar Voting Transparency, Overt Politicking, Tarnish Once-Golden Awards The current Oscar voting process feels like a high school club, one where knowing the right people, saying the right things and sharing the right opinions are more important than artistic merit. I'm not daffy enough to think it was once purely about The Art. Voters will always have reasons to choose a particular film or actor, and when an aging icon is up for an Academy Award he or she will usually have an edge over the competition. Still, watching the Oscar discussions play out online and in the media is more than discouraging. It makes me care very little about the names and titles hidden in those secure envelopes on Oscar night. 20 Feb 2013 'FrackNation' Trounces 'Promised Land' in Facebook Duel The indie film "FrackNation" trounced Hollywood's anti-fracking manifesto "Promised Land" on Facebook, earning roughly double the amount of "likes" and sparking far more online debate. 20 Feb 2013 CAIR Calls 'SNL' Movie Parody 'Djesus Uncrossed' Deplorable The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is joining the outrage expressed by Christians over the "Saturday Night Live" sketch "Djesus Uncrossed," dubbing the parody deplorable. 20 Feb 2013 Showtime to Air Dick Cheney's 'World' Documentary Showtime, the pay cable network with an increasingly strong liberal bias, is set to debut a new documentary on Vice President Dick Cheney next month. 20 Feb 2013 'Top Gun' Blu-ray Review: Reagan-Era Blockbuster Backs Up Bluster Is it any wonder Tom Cruise became a superstar by playing a cocky, confident fighter pilot at the peak of the Reagan '80s? The Blu-ray release of "Top Gun" reminds us of both why Cruise ascended to A-list status and how the era's muscular moviemaking still matters. 19 Feb 2013 Alec Baldwin's '30 Rock' Co-star: Actor Must Apologize for Racial Slur Tracy Morgan, a comedian who knows a thing or two about apologies, says his "30 Rock" co-star Alec Baldwin should do just that if the 54-year-old really called a news photographer an outdated racial slur. 19 Feb 2013 Defending Dr. Drew: Pinsky Not to Blame for 'Celebrity Rehab' Deaths Reporters do a lackluster job of informing the public of the dangers of addiction. The same reporters are more than eager to blame media-savvy physicians like Dr. Drew Pinsky for trying to sound the alarm on addiction's cost to society. 19 Feb 2013 'The Factory' DVD Review: John Cusack 'Lambs'-Like Thriller Should Be Silenced John Cusack's film career follows a predictable pattern. He'll take on big-budget, mainstream fare like "2012" and "Con Air" in order to tackle more personal projects like "Grace is Gone" and "The Raven." That hardly explains "The Factory," a Cusack thriller freed from the proverbial shelf just in time for its Feb. 19 DVD release. 18 Feb 2013 Previous 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Next
