The Washington Times is wrong. Hollywood wasn’t AWOL in the War on Terror. In fact, just the opposite is true. Hollywood summoned every ounce of financial and star power at their disposal to fight this war. Unfortunately, they chose to

***UPDATE: ABC News changed their headline. Somehow they’ve made it even more dishonest: David Stockman Criticizes Obama’s Jobs Plan, Other Economists Cheer Does this sound like a cheer from one of their non-Stockman economists? “So this is an incomplete proposal.”

ABOUT THAT ‘ANGEL HEART” SYMBOLISM Yesterday, in the “Last Night’s Screening” section, I mentioned that after a dozen screenings I might have finally figured out what director Alan Parker was trying to tell us with the returning symbolism of that

Remember way back in 2008 when a seat held by one party looked like it could be lost in an upset to the other party and the MSM declared it a “bellwether” — a sign that the losing party might

I believe in redemption and that Mel Gibson is a uniquely talented filmmaker. What more is there to say? DHD: This subject matter is a decided departure for the filmmaker famous for directing The Passion of the Christ. But in

SCHWARZENEGGER AND WILLIS TO HAVE “SUBSTANTIAL” ROLES IN E”XPENDABLES 2?“ Fine. Great. Cool. The most important addition to the next “Expendables” flick must be a tripod. Loved the first, but the shaky-cam got real old real quick, especially during the

Hollywood’s so sure that all America wants to see is… Youth! Beauty! Liberalism! Edginess! Nihilism! Snark! Irony! Well, then, how do they explain this… Monday’s Cable Ratings: History’s “Pawn Stars” Dominates Labor Day Here are the highlights of 32 ad-sustained

The BBC’s entire approach to this subject is wildly dishonest. There are no problems between Muslims and non-Muslims in America. We got along just fine pre-9/11, got along just fine the day after 9/11, and get along just fine today.

The sin here is not so much the left-wing politics as it is the potentially heavy-handed storytelling. What sounds like a fascinating concept — a fascinating device to explore the human condition — is seemingly going to be intruded upon

We all know who fantasizes and encourages violence. If it’s not just a guy in Obama’s neighborhood it’s a guy introducing Obama or unions or disturbing stuff like this: It’s the Left. Liars in the world of entertainment will tell

Today in Iowa, home of that all-important Caucus (hint-hint?), Governor Palin spoke as clearly as she ever has on a subject near and dear to my heart and one I’ve been waiting to hear from a serious GOP contender. Palin

Trust me, I am no Chelsea Hander fan, but GLAAD’s fascist war against humor and Hollywood rolling over most every time they crybaby over something, is an appalling assault on free and artistic speech. THR: E! Entertainment talk show host

If Obama’s so smart, why the teleprompter addiction? Why “corpseman”? Why does our economy remain still-born after he enjoyed two years of having every piece of legislation he asked for passed and enacted into law? If Obama’s so compassionate why
