What's 'Latina' Got to do With It?

When you favor someone because of their race over others who are equally or more qualified, that’s racism. Except in America where an old policy that was supposed to help people in an age of real separatism is still on

So Goes California, So Goes the Nation

California voters just put four rounds in the tax propositions yesterday. As they should have. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had this to say: “I respect the will of the people who are frustrated with the dysfunction in our budget system,” Mr

Political Correctness Must Die

In the early 20th century Marxism seemed like a good idea to many of the poor and downtrodden the world over. It hadn’t yet resulted in the untimely deaths of more people than all the wars of the 20th century

Fat is the New Smoking

Do you have a spare tire? Some bulges? Do your thighs rub together? Do you have a big gut? Well, be prepared to be ostracized. They already did a number on smokers. It used to be you could smoke almost

Weakness is Provocative

No, I am not going to get into that dopey John Lennon song; that paen to Marxism and atheism, but I will ask you to imagine something… Imagine Vladamir Putin on a European trip apologizing for Russia invading its neighbors

15 Great Rap Songs

Since there was some controversy here over the merits of hip-hop (aka rap), I thought I would throw in my two cents. It’s not my favorite music. I’m more into jazz and classic soul (and lots of other music, as

All the Wrong Moves

If the last two months are any indication, Barack Obama is a better bowler than he is a president. And to think all the “smart people” in Hollywood sold him as a “brilliant” mind. Of course, this is brilliant by

The Reality of Reality

It’s always fascinated me how people can believe something that’s not true, and then get angry if you challenge them on it. After all, we’re all deluded. Each and every one of us. Don’t believe me? OK, check this out.

Best Actor

Toucan Sam called and wants his nose back, Adrien Brody. Anthony Hopkins introduces Brad Pitt. And calls him brilliant. The Apocalypse is nigh. Ben “Sexy Beast” Kingsley pimps Rourke. And who wins? YOU GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!! Now

I Disagree on the Reader

She did not play a pedophile. The “kid” in the film was above the age of consent. I also don’t have a problem with the fact that it portrayed a nazi sympathetically because it showed how people can be sucked

R.I.P. Tributes

I own a couple of Queen Latifa’s recent CDs. She’s a really nice singer. This tribute bit is the only part of the show I look forward to each year because it tends to be moving. This was a good

I Like Musicals, Too

I have a bunch of them in my movie collection. And I like some Bollywood stuff, though I find too many of their films are corny. That number they just did dragged for me. I liked the music in the

RE: Terrorists

They don’t exist unless they’re right wing white guys. Didn’t you get the memo, Andrew?

Crockumentaries

I loved Man on Wire. Didn’t see the others. Man, that one dude had some choppers! Fricking Bill Mahrer. I watched his “documentary” the other day. Way to make Michael Moore look fair, Bill.

Supporting Actor

Freebie and the Bean rocking the bald thing. Oh look, Joel Grey puffing up the cliched conservative character Brolin played. Cuba Gooding Jr was funnier than he was in his last 8 comedies. But you JUST KNEW who was going

Wow

Never expected to hear Beyonce do Abba. I kind of liked that number, but I agree with others. Jackson can’t sing. At times he sounds like Fred Schiller from the B-52s

Stiller, Biel

It would have been funny if it went somewhere. The visual aspect worked but then it kind of dragged. What’s with all these ladies’ gowns that look like someone stole the drapes?

Button again?

Pfft! Hellboy should have won makeup. Easy. Button was an achievement, I suppose, but Helloy was visually more impressive. I think Button is using up all its Oscars right here.

Button + Duchess

Button was visually a great movie. The character was pretty boring. I think the Duchess was more impressive, but whatever. It won for costumes which it should have. This kind of stuff is almost rote. These technical awards are usually

Loved "In Bruges"

But I expected Wall-E to win. Instead Milk wins. Surprise! They always use screenplay for PC films they want to win but are over ruled in highewr categories by something more popular.

Ouch

Two actresses up for the same award from te same film. They knocked each other out. Allen’s Vickey Christian Barcelona was pretty dull. Cruz was good, but eh.
