There’s no point in my reviewing David Fincher’s “Social Network” a second time, even though in preparation for this countdown I did watch the cinematic story behind the creation of Facebook again. Nothing changed my overall opinion of the film

Below is an email generated by the Screen Actors Guild to “SAG Members” that was leaked to Big Hollywood. We’ve gone ahead and emphasized what we found the most interesting. Is collective bargaining enshrined in law? How many astro-turfed actors

First off, this isn’t about politics… Some of you might remember that Film School Rejects and I have had some public disagreements posted on our respective sites over the past few months. Well, yesterday FSR’s Cole Abaius and Robert Hunter

Ground’s too hard. Them men wanted a decent burial, they should have got themselves killed in summer. Like most everyone who loves movies, I have a great admiration and respect for the Brothers Coen. Joel and Ethan are a rarity

First off, Tavis Smiley is obviously a dishonest and immoral moral relativist and Bill Maher is exactly right in smacking him down with this epic piece of wisdom: “When you tolerate intolerance, you’re not really being a liberal.” Listen, I

Over at the extreme, left-wing film site MovieLine (check out the photo of Palin they chose) they’re reporting this: In Friday’s casting breakdowns, Glee producers submitted a posting for two roles that need to be cast immediately. The first is

It was the summer of 1996, and I remember it like it was yesterday. HBO aired Chris Rock in concert, “Bring the Pain” the one-hour special was titled, and I was sure after it was over that the future of

This might be the most revealing anecdote about the intolerant culture of present-day Hollywood in, well, ever. Get this: some genius producer at Sony digitally removed the words Holy Bible from a Holy Bible in a scene because he thought

Yeah, sure I do. You were the pride of Lowell. You were my hero, Dicky. In fairness to those reading this review and those involved in the creation of “The Fighter,” I’m going to confess upfront that expectations probably diminished

In a piece last week, I documented what critics have said about an apparent anti-Christian theme in Simon Pegg’s upcoming science-fiction comedy “Paul” — just more of the strident, boorish evangelical atheism we’re seeing from our entertainment overlords these days.

—– In the video above, there’s really no way to tell if Whoopi Goldberg has a point or not. This 2,000+ word piece written by Manohla Daris and A.O. Scott is, to put it simply, a mess. Does this even

Desperately seeking attention to a Twitter feed that required 2862 follows in order to amass a mere 4663 followers, someone at the ridiculously irrelevant National Lampoon*, someone who finds AIDS fair game for “humor,” decided to gain a little attention

Mom, I love you. I wish I’d returned all of your calls, ever. I really have lived this last year. I wish I had learned some lessons more astutely, more rapidly, than I did. I love you. I’ll always be

—– Remember the mid 70’s, during the first ever season of “SNL” when breakout star Chevy Chase did his bumbling Gerald Ford impersonation? One of the big, unspoken jokes of that routine was that Chase intentionally did absolutely nothing to

Remove from this little family drama the gratuitous girl-on-girl sex, the guy-on-girl sex, and the ridiculously unnecessary and explicit images from a guy-on-guy gay porn film that no amount of hypnotism or bleach could ever erase from my mind, and

One person who not only understands the importance of popular culture in our society but who is also doing something about it is Kevin McKeever, Chairman and CEO of Bank of Kev Productions, an industry veteran who sponsored a CPAC

NOTE: This is the first in a series of ten reviews counting down this year’s best picture nominees from my least favorite to the film most deserving of this year’s Oscar. Director Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan,” Natalie Portman plays Nina,

What is not to love about this story? The levers of power in the world of popular culture are mostly held by the very few elite Watchmen who control the bottle neck of distribution. They are The Man and politically

***UPDATE: A few titles got lost in the ole’ cut and paste: Ordet, Passion of Joan of Arc, Leap of Faith, and One Night with the King. I am adding and/or reconsidering others mentioned. By the time I’m done watching

I adore Shaun of the Dead, found Hot Fuzz more than a little tedious, but I was still very much looking forward to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost re-teaming once again, this time for the big sci-fi blockbuster “Paul,” which

Here’s the photo, which means we can expect yet another horribly self-conscious accent from the single most over-rated actress in the history of film. Below the photo is a link to Big Hollywood’s review of the bio-pic’s screenplay, which was

Aaron Sorkin is up for an Academy Award this year for his “Social Network” script, a film many on the left have criticized for its demeaning portrayal of women. Here at Big Hollywood, we’ve also documented at length Sorkin’s raging

—— A beautiful, heartfelt speech, eloquently delivered with nothing divisive that would turn off those fans of his who might not share a similar affection for President Ronald Reagan. There really is a way for big stars to thread a
