Granted, I know nothing about the original “Conan” mythology and hardly remember Schwarzenegger’s two films, but what you bring to a film matters. And as far as expectations go, I went into this one pretty cold. This is one explanation
BOX OFFICE ANALYSIS The post-Thanksgiving weekend is usually one of the worst of the year, and this was no exception. There were no big new releases, so it’s all about how the previously released held on. 1. Twilight Saga: Breaking
Now that they’ve officially been hung out to dry by both the elite media and the Left, Occupy Wall Street has apparently decided to die with a whimper instead of with dignity. Five lonely Occupiers in Chicago. Three in Indiana.
THE PROBLEM WITH KEVIN SMITH Yep: So it pains me to have to say that ‘Real Life’ Kevin Smith is anything but “silent” in our sphere of reality. Instead, Smith has become more and more adept at alerting everyone in
When it comes to left-wingers disguising themselves as objective journalists, Politico is the worst. When the publication first came online, we all liked them. The coverage was fair and the editors and staff seemed to understand that the online world
Hollywood’s dealing with a whole new world. New Media can now get the word out days before the hugely important opening weekend begins. And if Hollywood thinks this right-of-center nation is outraged over the dozen-or-so box office bombs they produced
Ellen DeGeneres at the HuffPo back in 2005: Late last year, Congress did away with a 34 year old regulation banning the government from selling any of the 37,000 wild horses running free across America’s western plains. Since the new
Let’s back up a little bit before we get to the list… A few weeks ago in Denver I had the opportunity for some up close and personal time with the Occupy movement, and what I saw was about what

TEN MEMORABLE NON-COMEDIC PERFORMANCES BY COMEDIANS Jon Stewart? Really? Pretty spotty list (“Southland Tales?”), but credit is owed for at least grabbing one film pre-1980 film, Jackie Gleason’s truly memorable turn in “The Hustler.” My votes go to (in no
Roger Ebert has spend the last few years insulting, degrading, offending and demeaning anyone in his once loyal audience who dares to disagree with his obnoxious, leftist politics. No one has worked harder to destroy the enormous amount of goodwill
WaPo‘s Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite abuses both her position as a Washington Post writer and as someone charged with the heady responsibility of covering areas of religious faith. This has to be read to be believed: We need to start taking
—– Last week, after the Romney campaign released its first ad attacking our failed president’s failed leadership of his failed economy, you would’ve thought the former Massachusetts Governor closed the ad with, “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve of eating
LIEV SCHREIBER TO STAR IN SHOWTIME DRAMA PILOT ‘RAY DONOVAN‘ Talk about an underused, under-appreciated actor. Hollywood just doesn’t like MEN. ‘BREAKING DAWN’ PASSES $500 MILLION MARK WORLDWIDE I’ve only seen two or three of these movies, and admittedly they
The worst thing imaginable has happened to a guy like Kevin Smith. He’s become a joke. The cool, above-it-all hipster; Hollywood’s foul-mouthed class clown has become a punchline. That’s death to a guy like Smith. Bloody Disgusting: The Independent Spirit
There’s absolutely nothing acceptable about piracy. It’s stealing. Period. Part of the entertainment industry’s piracy problem, however, is of their own doing. It’s not hard to rationalize “taking from” some boorish millionaire actor or musician who’s out there railing against
It’s a testament to the hold movies have on the public that the 15-year decline in the quality of filmmaking has only started to undermine the bottom line in recent years. We so desperately want the promise of a movie
Today’s opening snark courtesy of Journolister Dave Weigel from his Slate perch: Big Government breaks the news that Bill Ayers hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama; well, this was broken by Ben Smith in 2007, but still. I call it
The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein is the founder of the infamous Journolist, a notorious online gathering place where 400 or so elite “journalists” got together to plot out their anti-Republican narratives in order to help Obama win the presidency. The
The end of occupy Occupy Wall Street is nigh. The movement’s collapsed under the weight of its own nihilism, narcissism, and depravity; it’s broken into 360 bitter, little pieces that not even all of Obama’s MSM horses can put back
‘RIDDICK 3’ RESUMES FILMING Best news of the day, other than this, of course. WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO HATE ‘X-MEN: LAST STAND’? The third and final installment of the original is no classic but after watching it again last
Before you take a gander at that tweet, keep in mind that “The Fix” poses as a non-biased look at politics: Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters: As for the Post, what would one expect from a newspaper that only five months
We’re already seeing how desperate the Left and their MSM allies are as 2012 nears, the economy sputters, Dems abandon ship, and Obama’s poll numbers continue to stay in the cellar. Just last week, just before the Thanksgiving holiday, the
BOX OFFICE ANALYSIS: The box office slump hit pretty hard over the holiday weekend. While retail sales everywhere else skyrocketed to record numbers, Hollywood took a 12% hit when compared to this time last year. It’s going to be difficult
This is a good time to bring up something that’s been bothering me for a couple of years now. As someone who has made his way in the world all on my own and without the help of rich parents
