A lesson in why it’s important to read the whole story; because after reading the first two paragraphs my blood was at full boil: But director Joe Johnston and the team at Marvel Studios have a plan for “The First
Judging from the reaction a couple weeks back to my Happy Birthday open thread, there aren’t many Big Hollywood readers out there who share my hero worship of Muhammad Ali. When Breitbart starts Big Boxing, I’ll explain all of that
Here’s MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Vanity Fair’s Michael Wolff, and WaPo critic Paul Farhi discussing “The Blind Side.” And how illuminating for the “Hardball” audience to hear such a broad diversity of cinematic opinion ranging from hard left to harder left.

Twenty-three years have passed since the first “Wall Street” and a decade since news of an upcoming Oliver Stone movie elicited anything above the level of an eye roll. A director who once captured and even created a zeitgeist is
You see, Hollywoodists like “Step Brothers” director Adam McKay believe that only the Huffington Post, George Soros, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, NPR, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Big Labor Unions, and GE (through NBC and MSNBC) should be
This is from last week’s Jay Leno Show. Leno interviewed “Avatar” director James Cameron and the relevant parts quoted below start at the 5:50 mark. —– Cameron: The anti-military [criticism] is kind of tough for me because my younger brother
Well, the wait is over. Every year I was sure the Academy would get their act together and award this underrated and under-appreciated actress who possessed the most beautiful speaking voice to ever grace a motion picture with a long
The leftist — and Polanski apologist — film site Cinematical interviewed Joe Carnahan, director of “Narc” and “Smokin’ Aces” about the direct-to-DVD prequel “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins Ball.” As always, the fact that the fawning interviewer hardly appears to blink

“My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Susie. I was fourteen years old when I was murdered on December 6th, 1973.” After a limited theatrical run for what is likely to be a fruitless search for year-end award
“One day I heard this voice, like it was coming from inside me. It led me to a place… I found this book, buried deep in the rubble… And the voice told me to carry it west…” Credit where credit
To fully appreciate the absurdity of the statements uttered by “Avatar’s” writer/director James Cameron in defense of his film the other night, you have to get a feel for the setting. The Q&A took place during an industry screening of
[youtube WF8obw1JVg8 nolink] This is a non-profit group run by Jimmy Jean-Louis. Most of you will recognize him from his role on the television show “Heroes.” He’s also been on Fox News today with Shep. Outside of my political life,
This appears to be accurate. Both Ain’t It Cool News and JoBlo.com have posted James Cameron’s full “Avatar” script. To triple-check I went to the 20th Century-Fox site and found that they posted the same script, as well. After being
