The season finale of Lost demonstrates that it is, indeed, the best show in the history of television. More on that in a moment. But first, the recruiting pitch. For those who don’t watch Lost, now is a perfect opportunity
Hollywood’s favorite phrase is “speaking truth to power.” It charts just above “She/he is the love of my life,” “Though we’re not together anymore, we’ll remain good friends,” and “Hey, where did I leave my underwear?” Hollywood slings around the
The British government’s decision to ban Michael Savage from entering the UK based on his political viewpoint and opposition to the global domination of Islamic shariah law puts Savage in the same company as Winston Churchill, and Prime Minister Gordon
Barack Obama’s White House is beginning to look a lot like a Joan Rivers special. Celebrity after celebrity is showing up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., demonstrating, as Obama has told us time and time again, that the President is indeed
Disparaging Sean Penn’s brainpower is somewhat like picking on Roseanne Barr’s lack of charm. It’s redundant and superfluous and altogether unnecessary. At the risk of writing something redundant, superfluous and altogether unnecessary, I’m going to go for it anyway. I’ll
There were two big stories that emerged from Hollywood this week. The first was the release of the first trailer for Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen’s newest movie creation, a highly offensive faux documentary about a gay Austrian fashion critic touring
At the risk of entering an infinite regress here, I feel it necessary to respond to Tim Slagle’s response to my “Rap is Crap” post. Let me start by stating that I don’t hate all rap. This is quality: —
Today, Grammy-winning rapper T.I. (Total Imbecile? Thug Idiot?) was sentenced to 18 months behind bars for illegally owning machine guns and silencers. In the aftermath of his arrest, prosecutors informed T.I. that he could serve two decades in prison; he
Aren’t comedians supposed to be funny? That’s the question I had after watching two interviews this week. The first interview featured a buffoonish jackass interviewer who fancies himself a comedian because he smirks (Jon Stewart); the interview subject was a
Folks in Hollywood like to portray themselves as champions of the people. They proclaim support for socialists like Michael Moore; they decry the growing gap between rich and poor. Then they ask for tax breaks and pay raises. States across
Is it just me, or is Meryl Streep one of the most overrated actresses in history? Can’t remember who said it (help me out, guys), but a famous critic said about her that his problem with her was that you
Glad to see the Academy’s knee-jerk anti-Israeli sentiment prevented enough of the members from actually watching this Israeli-made, anti-Israel film. Couldn’t be happier on this one, and I’m an Orthodox Jew.
Remember when songs had tunes? That was nice.
You need somebody who can actually put musical numbers together. Slapping together a few bars from a wide variety of random songs doesn’t cut it. I’m all for big musical spectaculars, but this was pathetic.
The ugliest woman ever to become a Hollywood star. Including Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.
Over at National Review Online, they just finished going through their top 25 conservative movies of the last 25 years. Overall, it’s a decent list. Still, there were many films left off and several that would not have made my
I used to count myself among the biggest fans of 24. A friend recommended 24 during Season 2, and I went back and rented Season 1. It was addictive, fast-paced, genuinely adrenaline-pumping. The first half of Season 2 was almost
For the last few years, we have been treated to a bevy of columns and articles lionizing John Updike. It is certainly a tragedy that he is gone – he had massive literary potential. But since the media has been
I first got into ABC’s hit TV show Lost about two years ago. A friend recommended it, and by the time I got to the end of Episode 4 of Season 1, I was completely hooked. (This, by the way,
This is a tale of two cultures. Both cultures are faced with the threat of Islamic terrorism. Both have watched their soldiers fight and die. Both have watched their citizens burn alive. But one culture has rejected a far-left film
