—– Watch as West Coast WGA president John Wells silently and awkwardly looks on while “Hangover” director Todd Phillips and “Social Network” scribe and “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin shred the Guild for its overbearing policies and famously stupid rules.

Oliver Stone’s uber-villain Gordon Gekko is back in the new film, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, which (surprise!) features greedy capitalists behaving badly. It might remind you of Avatar, Mission Impossible 2 or roughly a zillion other films in which

There is nothing “nuanced” about Imam Feisal Rauf’s belief in the primacy of Sharia (Islamic Law) in society–any society. Rauf, in his 2004 “What’s Right With Islam“–released in Malaysia as, “A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble:
What would I want in the perfect action film? Let’s see. There has to be first and foremost a seriously bad-ass villain who seems to hold all the cards. Bigger, stronger, heavily armed, inimically cunning, and totally remorseless. Then toss
When I learned of Helen Thomas’ retirement I was tempted to head my column with, ” Ding, Dong, the **^ is Dead …..” but then I remembered that I’m not a liberal journalist who resorts to personal attacks instead of
Chip Hanlon at Red County: I have to admit, I automatically figure that every actor or musician is a political Lefty until shown otherwise. But, boy, that would be the wrong assumption to make of the iconic ’80’s punk band,
Those Gyllenhaal kids seem awfully determined to change my mind about them this year. First there was Maggie, whose wonderfully mature and earthy turn in “Crazy Heart” finally won me over after being completely immune to her charms since day
CBS won’t comment, but the NY Times reports that on Tuesday night’s episode of the “The Good Wife” the story revolved around an artist killed by a bomb after he drew a cartoon featuring Muhammad. It looks as though the
For the past few years I’ve avoided watching the Academy Awards having finally gotten the message that they’re just a big fat marketing tool that have nothing to do with quality filmmaking. My self-imposed boycott of the televised event was
Now that the MSM has done its best to ignore the Amy Bishop Obama obsession and is going all out to pin the right-wing-nut-job tail on Joseph Stack, it would seem that leftist-radical myopia is once again controlling the establishment
I think that Charlie Sheen, the uber-talented actor — as he’s described by many in Hollywood — who leaped on to the scene as an money-hungry, woman carousing, cocktail drinking young lad in the movie Wall Street and then went
Media Matters’ evil twin, Media Matters Action Network, has posted a disgustingly biased screed, casting Israel as a villain in a vacuum: Progressives Speak Out On Israeli-Palestinian Conflict December 18, 2009 5:07 pm ET by MJ Rosenberg This week there
I am a graduate of Brandeis University, a respected institution of higher learning that is also a bastion of liberal and left-wing thought. It’s a sure bet that most, if not all of Brandeis’ professors are registered Democrats. While never
According to PolitiFact.com the Obama administration has thus far appointed twenty-eight czars! You may have missed some of these but we now have a Great Lakes Czar, so those lakes stay in line and don’t opt for moving to Canada.
The New York Post ran a story this weekend with a very encouraging headline: RIGHT TURN ON B’WAY? Michael Riedel’s article revolves around two new plays that are being shopped around for a home. One is a one-man play about
You’re going to have to excuse hard-left Hollywood types if they don’t get on board for the whole waterboarding thing. The concepts of forceful interrogations and the need to get dangerous people to reveal their life-threatening plans is as far
Sorry that I can’t cry over Roger Friedman’s firing as a columnist from FOXNews.com. It’s not just that he ignored the age-old advice–don’t blank where you live/eat/work. And it’s not just that as an entertainment industry writer, he was an
First off, let me ask the question: in today’s PC, non-sexualized world, am I allowed to use the word “actress?” I guess I’ll chance it. My friend Kitty sent me this link to an article about the ongoing saga of
I knew Jane Fonda’s blog would be a treasure-trove of fun information! Last night was the first preview for “33 Variations” at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, and to celebrate her triumphant return to the Great White Way, Blog-erella posted pics
Before Frank Rich used his arrogance to tell us who we should vote for, he used it to tell us what plays we should see. Rich was, arguably, the last uber-powerful NY Times Theatre Critic. Unless a show had a
With “Taken” debuting at the box office today, we’re inching closer to the melting of the post-9/11 “Thou Must Whitewash Islam” commandment. Since 9/11, Hollywood is taken with the politically correct idea that they’re not allowed to portray Muslims as
