Both The Wrap and Nikke Finke have the details, and in their list of the great director’s films, both overlook “The Days of Wine and Roses,” a harrowing, unromantic, and unforgettable tale of the toll of alcoholism on a young,

In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don’t know where the money has gone.

“Is that why you’re here, Colonel? Some kind of post-Vietnam experience like you need a rerun or something? You pour a hundred twenty million bucks into this place, you turn it into a military zone, so what, so you can

“We are the real countries. Not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men.” Why it’s a left-wing film It was at the beginning of the 1990s when I started to understand how Hollywood was using film

“Mankind survived the last ice age. We’re certainly capable of surviving this one. All depends on whether or not we’re able to learn from our mistakes.” Why it’s a left-wing film: Not long after the 1996 release of his mega-blockbuster

Nothing’s funnier than watching left-wing Hollywoodists whine over the fact that their precious Obama refused to raise taxes on those making over $250,000 a year — in the middle of a lingering recession that shows no signs of getting better

Walden Media is the production company responsible for “Waiting for Superman,” “Amazing Grace,” “Bridge to Terabitha,” and many more titles most film-goers and especially parents are familiar with. The company is owned by Philip Anschultz who has made clear he

Finally, a little justice. Some of you might recall that the prospect of director Robert Rodriguez receiving taxpayer dollars after bringing one the most anti-American and outright racist films in years to the bigscreen was more than a little upsetting

Via Lisa de Moraes at WaPo, who oddly buried Palin’s quotes at the bottom of a long article under a headline that made no mention that she had responded. Well, that’s why God invented Matt Drudge; to teach us that

***UPDATE 5:44pm: This post was edited for clartity. The first thing I noticed about Aaron Sorkin’s hilariously bitter and angry HuffPo article aimed at Sarah Palin (but you knew that when I said “bitter” and “angry” ) is that in

***ADDED: There are already some great suggestions in the comments, but let me add one more qualifier. “The American President” is a great choice, Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America” or “The Godfather” not so much, at least

All the controversy surrounding the ant-covered Jesus exhibit that was eventually pulled from the federally funded National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian, reminded me of a trip the wife and I took to one of the prestigious art museums last

If you hadn’t had the opportunity yet, I urge you to head on over to Big Government to check out the Pigford series unfurling today. I would start with Andrew Breitbart’s anchor piece, jump into this superb piece of investigative

– Director Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (December 3rd) is getting good reviews from some reviewers I trust but it’s all so Oscar-baity and bloated with importance, especially the widely publicized and now seemingly obligatory (if you want Academy attention) lesbian

If you’re wondering why during the Golden Age of Hollywood, in the era of the studio system, actors were, in a word, “managed,” look no further than the below. Actors certainly didn’t like being controlled — who does? — but

Let’s give Kathleen Parker credit for not badgering rock star Gene Simmons with, “Yeah, but aren’t I as awesome and chic and cute as Sarah Palin is stupid?” Such restraint on the part of someone so “unqualified” to co-host a

—– The Mighty Ted Nugent (be sure to watch the clip above) declaring Sarah Palin one of his three heroes of hands-on conservation helped me to crack what I find so appealing about TLC’s “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” My admiration for

The short clip floating around where “Dancing with the Stars” champ Jennifer Grey says it felt damn good to beat Bristol Palin — and who can blame her? — is a wee bit deceptive if you look at the entirety

Are you watching what’s happening over at Netflix? Because what’s happening is seismic in terms of how America and the world will be receiving their movie and television entertainment in the near future. For years I’d speculated that eventually home

In the annals of rancid-souled, unfunny female comics, Margaret Cho ranks right alongside Janeane Garofalo, Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne, Joy Behar and Sandra Bernhard. Cho is probably probably most famous for using the near-breakdown caused by the cancellation of her 1994

If you read the story below, it makes perfect sense that a casting manager would be fired for not following the instructions of the director, who on this case is no less than Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson. But the hoopla

***UPDATE: Smithsonian Pulls Video of Ant-Covered Jesus But Leaves Images of Naked Brothers Kissing. Another turn in this story, again via CNS News, and in my opinion a hollow threat from John Boehner and Eric Cantor: House Speaker-to-be John Boehner

Via CNS News, just in time for the Christmas season; a little desecration of the cross with a side order of incest: The federally funded National Portrait Gallery, one of the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, is currently showing an

Good cast but what made the 1972 Bronson original so legendary appears to be missing in what looks to be a pretty typical Jason Statham genre pic. The methodical nature of watching Bronson’s “mechanic” ply his trade, the scene where
