Has anyone ever before seen the corrupt media work so hard for so many days to push back on what they’re telling the world is a non-story? For a “non-story,” the media sure has used up an awful lot of
Based on a couple of shorts he had already produced around the eponymous late-70’s Manhattan night-spot, Studio 54, in 1998, Miramax gave writer/director Mark Christopher the go-ahead to produce a full-length feature that’s set around a fictional New Jersey innocent
Those of us who understand how the New Blacklist works aren’t at all surprised to hear Meatloaf’s claim that after being outed as a Republican he now has fewer media outlets interested in helping him to promote his work. But it’s
Wow. What a surprise. Oprah Winfrey hires as the primetime anchor of her flailing OWN network one of the most divisive, disliked, and toxic celebrities on the planet — and it’s not working out: Via Fox News: O’Donnell’s talk show,
If you want to understand what BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith is up to today, watch him in this clip as he spins newly discovered video from Obama’s Harvard days. It’s video no one would’ve seen, had Andrew Breitbart not decided it
Without a doubt, director Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” is gorgeous to look at. The CGI that lovingly recreates (in a hyper-reality) early 1930s Paris not only succeeds in crafting the story’s detailed and varied environment, but also in creating the appropriate
The only surprise that came with my screening of “Game Change” was in the realization that HBO chose to remake the sci-fi/horror film “The Hidden.” For those of you who haven’t seen this 1987 cult classic, it’s about a dangerous
Before we get to HBO’s latest lame defense, here’s what the network (and Politico) won’t tell you… Below are the names of eight people who have gone on the record to declare the book “Game Change” a falsehood, and what they’ve seen
Since the release of the first “Tower Heist” trailer, this has been a caper flick I’ve looked forward to, and not just because I happen to believe that director Brett Ratner is under-appreciated and unfairly maligned. The plot looked simple
While we all appreciated the fact that last night’s presenters and winners kept it classy, non-partisan, and strenuously avoided being politically divisive at last night’s Oscar telecast, there’s not much the stars can do when asked a direct question, right?
RABBIT EARS MAKE A COMEBACK TO SUPPLEMENT STREAMING WSJ: With an increased array of online video programming now drawing viewers’ attention, companies are starting to pitch consumers on complementing online video streamed from the Web with broadcast-TV signals as a
The most memorable part of my “J. Edgar” viewing experience came from the special features after I had finished watching the film. There are a couple documentaries that come with the package, and one of them includes interviews with the
We’ve already caught HBO in a whopper in a statement the network released yesterday. In trying to explain their way out of a partisan film put into production when Governor Sarah Palin was still a likely contender for the GOP
This isn’t scientific, but it sure is amusing. The left-wing “L.A. Times” included a poll in this article. They asked their mostly left-wing readers which film they were more interested in seeing: HBO’s “Game Change” or Steven Bannon’s “The Undefeated.”
Just this morning, HBO released this statement to the L.A. Times after it was announced that as counter-programming, “The Undefeated” would broadcast on the Reelz Channel the day after the March 10 premiere of HBO’s “Game Change:” HBO offered a
HUGE NEWS: ‘THE ARTIST’ WILL MAKE PAY CABLE DEBUT ON NETFLIX STREAMING Now can I say “I told you so?” Actually, things are happening faster than even I expected. The studios have to go to where the customers are going.
“The ‘Game Change’ trailer doesn’t reflect anything I recall.” — Jason Recher, Advisor to the McCain Campaign who was with Governor Palin during nearly every waking moment of the ’08 election. When and how did we know that the upcoming HBO film
Only a small portion of the book “Game Change,” the political best-seller covering the 2008 presidential campaign, is about Sarah Palin. And yet, all of the HBO movie is. You could write a book about all the important people, fascinating stories, and events the movie
Like “Sunset Boulevard” (1950), “American Beauty” (1999), and “Menace II Society” (1993), 1943’s “The Human Comedy” is not only a brilliant film (probably the best movie you’ve never seen), it’s also one narrated by a dead man. But that’s where the similarities
Alec Baldwin, star of Twitter meltdowns and that populist phenomenon “30 Rock” (ranked 106 last season!), lashed out — unprovoked, I might add — at Andrew Breitbart on Twitter earlier today. At least I think it was unprovoked. As far as I
With last year’s domestic box office returns in the dumps, this is great news for an industry that has no desire to change its ways, and most certainly no desire to make the kinds of films that will appeal to a broader
CONSERVATIVES MUST TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK NETFLIX FOR ‘LILYHAMMER.’ “Lilyhammer’ isn’t just a conservative show; it’s an anti-leftist show. This is the kind of show I’ve been waiting for for decades. For years now, those of us who believe
At the top of his MSNBC show the other day, Chuck Todd was good enough to offer us all a preview of how the corrupt media intends to use the lawless, Obama-endorsed Occupy movement to throw the GOP off message and portray them as
This is not a joke, and the subscription advertisement inserted in the middle of the notification is an especially classy move. Entertainment Weekly: Whitney Houston’s funeral to be broadcast and streamed online: EW to live-blog the service The private funeral service for
