Sorry that I can’t cry over Roger Friedman’s firing as a columnist from FOXNews.com. It’s not just that he ignored the age-old advice–don’t blank where you live/eat/work. And it’s not just that as an entertainment industry writer, he was an

Today, “The Last House on the Left” debuts in theaters. It’s a remake of Wes Craven’s 1972 movie of the same name. The movie–while infinitely better than the original (which was supposedly making an anti-war statement, but was just torture

Why is it that on the silver screen, the Jewish chick is always the undesirable one, the safe choice, the ugly/annoying one? Even women who are Jewish (or half) in real life play the “desirable gentile goddess” while the Jewish

So, they just had Queen Latifah sing, “I’ll Be Seeing You,” while they showed the Hollywood people who died last year. It reminded me of how they saluted Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl in 2004 , after she died the year

Thank you, Japanese people, for making “Departures” (I’ve never seen it, so forgive me if it’s a bad movie). It would have been a huge tragedy if Israel’s first Academy Award went to the lie-filled, anti-Israel, high-quality Bin Laden cinema,

So Muslim music dude A. R. Rahman said, “Allahu Akbar,” upon winning the first of two Oscars he’s won so far. He says it means, “god is great.” Uh, no. It means, “allah is the greater” or “allah is the

So, they just had an ad from Oscar sponsor Coke about how if you drink Coca-Cola, you’re helping fund scholarships. Well, yes. But what they didn’t tell you is that those scholarships–some of them, anyway–go to illegal aliens .

By far, the best part of this boring Oscars show is Jimmy Kimmel rescuing Tom Cruise’s non-existent cat from a burning house. Oh, wait, it’s not part of the Oscars. No wonder it’s funny. (It’s an ad for Kimmel’s show.)

While it’s great that an anti-war documentary didn’t win this year (unlike in year’s past) and while I thought “Man on Wire” was a great, fascinating, suspenseful documentary, it was missing one detail that I thought was jawdropping. It’s about

I like Philip Seymour Hoffman. Great actor, especially in “Doubt.” But, dude, what’s up with that hat? It’s like a cross between a Muslim kufi and a Russian Jewish yarmulke. I thought black tie means you take the hat off

As you probably know, “Revolutionary Road,” was basically a Communist attack on middle-class life in the suburbs. Because, you know, we should all live in overcrowded, high-crime urban centers, where rent- and gun-control and high taxes rule all. We get

Today, among the major box office releases debuting at the theater, is “Under the Sea 3D,” a fascinating, visual wonder about sea life. It’s very cool–and occasionally creepy, like when giant, poisonous sea snakes jump out at you from the

Look, if I wanna recycle (and sorry, right now, I just threw out a dirty plastic cup, without washing it out and reusing it–horrors!), I’ll recycle. I don’t need hypocritical, non-recycling gazillionaire starlets to tell me to do so. Including

With “Taken” debuting at the box office today, we’re inching closer to the melting of the post-9/11 “Thou Must Whitewash Islam” commandment. Since 9/11, Hollywood is taken with the politically correct idea that they’re not allowed to portray Muslims as

Not sure why we’re supposed to worship the dead thug, hip-hopper Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace a/k/a “The Notorious B.I.G.” Is it because he’s a fat guy who was successful? Either way, the best part of “Notorious “–the movie, out today,

On Friday, I asked Big Hollywood readers to provide suggested questions for my interview with “Defiance” writer/director, Edward Zwick. The movie is about the Bielski brothers, Jewish partisans, who fought back against the Nazis. They saved hundreds of Jews and

Is it just me . . . or are you, too, getting tired of the mainstream entertainment media’s gushing over HAMAS mule Yusuf Islam a/k/a Cat Stevens a/k/a Stephen Georgiou? Whether it’s FOX News’ uber-liberal faux-movie-critic Roger Friedman or today’s

Wow, I never thought I’d be writing about the Feel-Good Nazi-Twins-Experiments Jewish Exorcism Movie of the Year. But that’s the basics on the absurd movie, “The Unborn,” out today. It’s possibly the most absurd and laughable horror movie of the

Today, I have a phone interview with Ed Zwick, writer/director of “Defiance” and a number of other movies and TV shows. The interview focuses on “Defiance,” starring Daniel Craig. As you may know, it’s the story of the Bielski brothers,

Once, comic books were against Nazis and Hitler and were very up front in supporting America’s fight against them. But those days are over. Both DC and Marvel Comics long ago embraced left-wing politics, and when it came to the
