It was either Kayser Soze or some French poet with an unpronounceable name who said something to the effect of, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” Not everyone believes in the Devil
One of the big stories in filmdom today is about all the concerns surrounding the marketing of Christopher Nolan’s new film “Inception,” which cost a reported $160 million to produce and hits theatres next Friday, July 16th. According to Reuters,
Ashley Judd’s been running around on a crusade to strengthen the power our oil rich-enemies hold over us and to put coal miners out of work. She calls it “opposing mountaintop removal mining,” but those of us who live in
Deadline Hollywood Daily’s Editor-In-Chief Nikki Finke has declared a Red State Alert over the news that documentary filmmaker and Oscar-winner Michael Moore has just been elected to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors. She writes,
Some call it the suicide disease. No one really knows for sure what causes trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and as of now there is no cure. Like many disorders of the human nervous system it remains in many ways a baffling
Over the weekend, Scott Wampler of the Comedy Examiner reported that he contacted someone on the production crew involved in the June 25th “light-fry” episode, which involved a confrontation with a pro-life group protesting outside of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on
In a piece published today about Sebastian Junger’s “Restrepo,” the Afghanistan War documentary released over the weekend, Bill Cody at Rope of Silicon admits (accidentally?) what we all knew anyway: that the Sundance Film Festival is all about the leftist
When the American Left uses the word “peace” what they really mean is surrender, appeasement, and the stability that comes with an evil in charge ready to reward those who call for America and her allies to surrender and appease.
For the Fourth of July, we asked a few of our contributors to wrap a couple hundred words around a specific piece of popular culture that they felt best defined the day. That series will run throughout today, so in-between
NewsBusters reports that four members of the pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust got their hands on free tickets to the Jimmy Kimmel Show the other night and caused enough of a disruption during taping that the police escorted
Far be it from me to pull a Patrick Goldstein and be the cause of a fellow righty landing on the conservative Hollywood blacklist, but news is news and the fact that for decades now Oliver Stone has been a
According to our friends at NewsBusters, on June 25th, a pro-life group called Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust were peacefully protesting outside of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood when a crew from the Jimmy Kimmel Show arrived to do some
—– Watch the whole video, especially the warm and fuzzy last shot, but here’s Stone’s killer quote: The Cold War became the war against terrorism and continues to this day. We have two wars in Iraq. One in Afghanistan and
Why do we fear this will be a hit job? Because it’s a movie about a conservative icon and when it comes to conservative icons they’re either ignored by filmmakers or trashed by filmmakers. Do I sound cynical? Yes. But
So an Adam Sandler family comedy is released … during summer … with co-stars Kevin James, Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Chris Rock … and the L.A. Times is sincerely confused over why it’s such a huge hit. Here’s their
Comprehending the work of a propagandist is nearly impossible. Since their goal is the opposite of trying to enlighten, there’s never any logic behind the words. Instead, the goal is to obscure and deflect in the hopes that The Lie
The first “Paranormal Activity” was one of my most pleasant and unexpected cinematic finds of last year. Even in the comfort of my living room, the story of a young suburban couple haunted by some kind of demonic poltergeist kept
—— This is part 1 of the final chapter which hits screens this November. Part 2 arrives in July of 2011. These Potter films are all the same to me: Harry Potter and the Punishing, Overlong, Episodic Trip Into Cinematic
After S.T. VanAirsdale of the hard-left film site Movieline wondered aloud who Big Hollywood would choose to “smear” with respect to the upcoming documentary “The Tillman Story,” I responded that when a leftist propagandist launches that kind of near-hysterical preemptive
The thread for my “Grown Ups” review was pretty played out by the time MSN’s James Rocchi responded late Saturday night or Sunday morning and I in turn responded to him a few hours later. It’s an interesting back and
***UPDATE: Armond White, whose need to be a contrarian bores me to death, loved Grown Ups and compared the film’s director Dennis Dugan to Renoir. His praise is a little hyperbolic — desperate for attention — but he at least
Hero of the Gulf? That’s certainly what it’s starting to look like. Not only has BP purchased 32 of actor Kevin Costner’s oil/water separators but they’ve tested the hell out of them and seem legitimately amazed at how well they
Descending via u-haul from the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to live in this one-story ghetto some call Los Angeles was supposed to be only a three-year crisis of middle age, not eight and counting. And so here
Robert Rodriguez has never been a favorite director of mine. My undying love for B-films aside, Rodriguez always weighs what could’ve been simple and fun down with over-complicated plots (“Once Upon a Time in Mexico”) and way too much talk.
