–NEW FEATURE DEBUTS TOMORROW– Hunter Duesing, who does an excellent job covering the latest in DVD and Blu-ray releases, has seen the future and its name is STREAMING. And so he will now do double duty with a weekly column

“RUNAWAY SLAVE” NEEDS YOUR HELP— How’s that for a headline! The folks behind “Tea Party: The Documentary Film” have started a new project with C.L. Bryant, a one-time NAACP leader who saw the light and moved to the right. The

In this time of crippling deficits, what could be more obscene than the government funding art unable to sustain itself in the free market? What am I saying; even in times of a budget surplus this is obscene. The National

—– Someone needs to take away Matt Damon’s “word of the day” handbook before he hurts himself. And what is this nonsense about teachers getting a “shitty salary.” GOOD teachers should be (and are) paid very well, especially when you

It makes sense that showrunners of scripted television would loath reality television, but there are a number of terrific reality shows out there that, in my opinion, are saving civilization from scripted television. You watch shows like “Deadliest Catch,” “Dirty

Looks as though someone got the DNC memo: —– Man oh man, Jon Stewart has the left-wing spin and talking points down cold, doesn’t he? No one with even a smidgen of intellectual honesty uses the term “revenues increases,” and

—AND THE WINNER OF THE $100K POWER LINE PRIZE IS…— Putting their money where their mouth is, our friends at Power Line came up with the terrific idea of tapping into the creative world to explain the dangers of President

—REDBOX REVENUES SOAR— Not that I personally rent from Redbox all that often, but that doesn’t mean I don’t admire a brilliantly simple concept so well executed it’s a wonder no one came up with it before. I remember VHS

Some of you might remember Indiewire’s Anthony Kaufman’s outrageously obscene and patronizing reaction when a *gasp* black conservative (Sonnie Johnson) appeared onscreen in support of Sarah Palin in “The Undefeated.” It was a revealing look at the dark side of

–J.J. Abrams Moves Towards Directing ‘Star Trek 2’– Upon first viewing in a theatre, I wasn’t a big fan of Abrams’ reboot; my review said so, and I caught a lot of hell for it. Watching it again on DVD

One of the primary reasons we started the Morning Call Sheet was that it would allow us to promote contributors and right-of-center artists in a way that wouldn’t affect the editorial format of the overall site. This is a win-win

Though Box Office Mojo’s Brandon Gray links to a number of stories he considers to be acts of media spin surrounding the box office numbers attached to “The Undefeated’s” impressive opening weekend (yes, I stand by that), my analysis from

–FOUR TIMELESS COMEDIES HIT BLU-RAY TODAY– Not sure why the Reuters headline calls the 1978 film “Animal House” an “80’s comedy,” but aren’t these the same idiots who forever label all-too expected bad economic news as “unexpected.” Anyway, “Animal House,

Why Christian symbols? We’re awfully easy pickings. If you’re a rich Hollywood star, offending us takes about as much courage as bringing a case of beer to a frat party. Why not Islamic images? Where’s that comedic edge and ballsy

73 year-old, two time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda spends 4200-plus words “explaining” her infamous 1972 trip to Hanoi where she was infamously photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese (translation: the enemy) anti-aircraft gun (translation: a weapon used to kill American

—BIG THANK YOU TO OUR CONTRIBUTORS AND COMMENTERS— Due to the superb day in/day out of our family of contributors, according to Technorati, Big Hollywood is now a Top 100 site in the world of film, politics, entertainment and comics.

…AND NOW A WORD FROM LIBERTARIAN COMEDIAN WILL FRANKEN… “Hello gang at Big Hollywood. This is libertarian San Francisco comedian Will Franken (www.willfranken.com) here. I hope you enjoy this clip. It’s my interpretation of the ideological “handshake” between a multiculturalism-obsessed

The good news is that Politico’s Andy Barr is now going to work out in the open against Palin and the Right, as opposed to what he’s been doing since 2008, and that’s the exact same thing at Politico under

–‘ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK’ REMAKE DEAD … FOR NOW– A draft I read of this intended remake was extremely well written but also an environmental allegory and warning. If memory serves, Manhattan had become a prison due to the flooding

Box Office Mojo is a universally accepted and respected source for box-office numbers, mainly because they’ve always done a very professional job of sticking to numbers and avoiding the business and political nonsense that tarnishes so many others. As of

—‘RIDDICK 3’ SET TO START SHOOTING IN SEPTEMBER?— Not only am I big fan of Vin Diesel’s, I’m an even bigger fan of both of his Riddick films: 2000’s “Pitch Black” and the much more ambitious follow-up, 2004’s “The Chronicles

Why does the Hollywood Reporter say this as though it’s a bad thing…? Sticking to its simplistic, patriotic origins, where a muscular red, white and blue GI slugging Adolf Hitler in the jaw is all that’s required, Captain America trafficks

Man alive, when you require 2700 words to explain your way out of 900, maybe it’s best to just …. stay down. Early on, even before Big Government opened, when Big Hollywood was still in its infancy, I was introduced

–FINAL CHAPTER OF ANDREW KLAVAN’S HOMELANDERS’ QUADROLOGY RELEASED TODAY– A very well-written, page-turning adventure series for the kids. God, country and values are treated as good things. On the other hand, terrorism and narcissism are treated as bad things. I

Over the weekend, everyone waited to hear the box office results of the new documentary film “The Undefeated,” and for good reason. Those of us interested in truth are understandably invested in seeing anything succeed that finally sets the record

From everything I’ve read, the only factor remaining in Governor Palin’s decision-making process about a 2012 presidential run is the impact the campaign would have on her family — which is why I think Bill Maher went here [emphasis mine]:

—SEASON FOUR OF ‘BREAKING BAD’ FINALLY PREMIERES Unfortunately, I don’t have AMC and refuse to pay another $30 just to get it along with 50 lame-ass channels I’ll never watch, so I’ll have to wait for DVD. But wait for

With the roaring success “The Undefeated” has already had at changing the conversation about Sarah Palin from tanning beds and crosshair maps to, you know, her actual record as a public servant, the Left and their dishonest allies in the

Should a two-time Oscar-winner like Jane Fonda really be making a spectacle out of the fact that she wanted to appear on a home-shopping channel? What’s next? “Damn those righties! I was looking forward to cutting the ribbon at that

Thanks to Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis this has turned into one terrific story and an opportunity to finally write a series of positive posts about Hollywood in the tradition of the original Hollywood Canteen, an organization created by Bette

But-but-but director Joe Johnston assured his liberal Hollywood pals us “Captain America” (opens next Friday) would not be (no joke) “about America” or a “sort of jingoistic American flag-waver”. So what’s this new American-ey poster all about? False advertising? I

—— Don Rickles is hilarious in this clip being … Don Rickles. If you haven’t seen 2007’s “Mr. Warmth,” a terrific documentary directed by John Landis that looks at the last comedian still allowed to stick his finger directly in

Just so that I have this right… We have an actual letter from a senior producer at the “Daily Show” who says declaratively, “we never book conservative pundits” and no one cares. Not even the Usual MSM Suspects who howl
