‘BURN NOTICE’: SEASON FINALE Did you enjoy it? Because it was my brother who edited this awesome episode — spoilers below: Michael, as we saw in tonight’s episode, was willing to do just about anything to keep Fiona out of

Not that 20th Century-Fox or anyone involved in the production of “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” cares, but earlier in the year as the promotion ramped up, I was very hard on this prequel/sort-of remake. The story looked

SIX REASONS ‘STAR TREK: VOYAGER’ NEVER REALLY WORKED Wow. This nails it. Back in 2001, I gave “Voyager” two seasons before giving up. The political correctness was beyond undermining to the show’s plots, it was stifling and insulting. Political correctness

Hollywood’s a little shell-shocked this morning. Not only was this the worst weekend of the year, it was worse than the post-September 11th Christmas season. The year-to-date news isn’t much better either. With only a few weeks left in 2011,

You gotta love “The Hollywood Reporter’s” opening sentence: You can’t blame director James Bobin for being slightly giddy these days. The Muppets is one of the best reviewed movies of the year (“We have a 97 percent rating on Rotten

I remember Morgan best from his brilliant turn as the appropriately named Oily Perkins in the Western-comedy “Support Your Local Sheriff” (1969). RIP, Oily. — JN New York Times: Harry Morgan was born Harry Bratsburg on April 10, 1915, in

Back in August of 2010 I posted an article on Big Hollywood discussing the release of my World War II novel, “Hummel’s Cross.” It is a fictional account, as told from the introspective first person narrative of an old man,

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if those rascally Fox News types blasted the beloved Muppets as Communists? Kermit the frog is green, not red, Bill O’Reilly! The folks over at The Huffington Post turned a sensible critique of how the

When it comes to the complicated world of teen bullying, there’s really only one expert of consequence – Lady Gaga. After all, she’s been vocal on the subject for months now, and she’s clearly done enough field research to put

—– Leftist Hollywood hates that the American people now have so many methods with which to communicate, including the Fox News and Fox Business channels, the only television news outlets not completely in bed with the left. The above clip,
