In the post just below this one you’ll see Bill Maher on the “Tonight Show” last night wringing his hands over the age old practice of using combat metaphors in the arena of politics. And yet, this comes from a

Goddamn Army. Why it’s a left-wing film Maybe my eternal affection for director Robert Altman’s brilliantly irreverent comedy clouds my judgment, but I don’t want to be too hard on “MASH.” Yes, it uses Korea as pretty weak cover to

For nearly 20 years now I’ve been a conservative, which means that for nearly 20 years I’ve watched the hopelessly corrupt mainstream media do their dishonest dirty work on behalf of their allies on the left. And I would love

Somebody once wrote: “Hell is the impossibility of reason.” That’s what this place feels like. Hell. Why it’s a left-wing film Writer/director Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winner (picture, director, editing, sound) is another Cambodian Holocaust denier, a film that again offers no

While you’re reading all those HuffPo articles filled with hand-wringing sanctimony about the current state of Republican political discourse, keep in mind that according to New York Magazine, the founder of the Huffington Post filmed a role in a sci-fi

“Death of a President,” the documentary-style speculative fiction about the assassination of the 43rd President of the United States, is seamless, intelligent and maybe even necessary to an understanding of George W. Bush’s role in the world today[.] — Jim

You think I contaminated myself, you think I did that? Why it’s a left-wing film For my money, nothing exposes the left for the anti-capitalist, anti-progress socialists they really are more than their opposition to nuclear power. Here’s an energy

I’ve never been called a son of God before. Why it’s a left-wing film Writer/director Tim Robbins has never made any secret of the fact that his masterpiece (and like every film in my Top 10, this is a masterpiece)

The unlimited checkbook. That’s how Big Tobacco wins every time on everything, they spend you to death. Six hundred million a year in outside legal – Chadbourne-Park, uh, Ken Starr’s firm, Kirkland & Ellis? Listen: GM and Ford, they get

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. -Mark Twain Just as bad as the news contained in the story itself is that the person reporting on it

It’s okay, I wouldn’t remember me either. Why it’s a left-wing film Sam Mendes’ “American Beauty” opens high above a beautiful American suburb as though the idea is to watch the first-time director pick from at random any perfect-looking American

It’s simple economics. Today it’s oil, right? In ten or fifteen years, food. Plutonium. Maybe even sooner. Now, what do you think the people are gonna want us to do then? Why it’s a left-wing film In the great (and

Over the past few weeks I’ve been catching up with the Turner Classic Movies’ original documentary “Moguls & Movie Stars: A History of Hollywood,” which aired in seven one-hour installments and reportedly took two-and-a-half-years to produce. Which is a shame,

Trials are a corruption of the entire process and only fools who have something to prove end up ensnared in them. Now when I say prove, I don’t mean about the case, I mean about themselves. Why it’s a left-wing

Most people recognize retired U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor R. Lee Ermey from his iconic turn as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 Vietnam film “Full Metal Jacket.” Ever since he’s been a familiar, welcome, and energetic character actor

Nothing is more troubling than reading those who cover the world of entertainment advocating in favor of speech restrictions. Film School Rejects is an above average film site with above average writers, but stuff like this is just neo-fascism and

We went to Vietnam to stop communism!… We shell women and children! Why it’s a left-wing film This is another in a long line of Hollywood films that qualify as a Cambodian Holocaust denier, something I elaborate more on here.

Is the issue really homophobia or is it how a star’s real-life identity — when it comes to their sexuality or anything else — bleeds into their screen persona? One of the primary reasons the movie star is pretty much

This piece by Brooks Barnes in the New York Times is the most wildly off-base thing I’ve read all day, which is quite a feat when you consider the L.A. Times also published a newspaper today. Here’s Barnes’ theory, in

Ed Horman filed suit charging eleven government officials, including Henry A. Kissinger, with complicity and negligence in the death of his son. The body was not returned home until seven months later, making an accurate autopsy impossible. After years of

Still reeling from his own personal Whoopi rape-rape Goldberg moment, still on defense after wrist-flicking away the charges against Wikileaker Julian Assange as “hooey,” in an interview with The Wrap’s Laurene Williams, Michael Moore threw a bomb at the U.S.

In a “holiday” message from “Office” creator Ricky Gervais, the world famous atheist spends about five paragraphs essentially ridiculing the inability of we Believers to articulate exactly why it is we believe in God. Then, laughably, he goes on to

“Ten years from now the combustion engine will be a thing of the past.” Why it’s a left-wing film Before we get to it, let’s point out one of the sweet ironies of “The American President.” What an amazing experience

“What I did was an act of conscience to stop the war.” Why it’s a left-wing film Loosely based on the life of Barack Obama’s pals, domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn; a couple of privileged kids

Ah, people were always lousy… But there was a world, once. Why it’s a left-wing film The opening montage says it all. Various photographs reveal when the world’s downfall began, with the early days of American industrialization, and then take

While Bush was busy taking care of his base and professing his love for our troops, he proposed cutting combat soldiers’ pay by 33% and assistance to their families by 60%. Why it’s a left-wing film Writer/director Michael Moore’s paranoid

Intrigued by my own post of a few weeks ago (it doesn’t take much), I was a bad boy the other day and bought myself a Blu-ray player with built-in wi-fi. The cost was $179.00 and since you can’t be

Since the failure on most every front of his latest ode to Marxism, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” Michael Moore’s been desperately scratching around for relevance once again, using every opportunity to get his face on television and name in the

—– Attractive cast, but feels a little programmed and like it’s trying too hard. Writer/director James L. Brooks has been more miss than hit lately and there’s no particular charm or anything original enough to make this seem like something

“I wanted to be a war hero, man, I wanted to go out and kill for my country. And now, I’m here to tell you that I have killed for my country or whatever. And I don’t feel good about

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
