"Behind All that Phony Tinsel is the Real Tinsel"

Today’s Washington Times’ column: This was the year Hollywood finally realized that it couldn’t sell an anti-Iraq war film. It also was the year the mainstream media discovered it couldn’t report that the war on terror had failed. Countless prime-time

Movie Review: Max Payne

This is one of those movies where for most of the two long hours you sit and wonder why?. Why with all that money they didn’t spend more time on the script. Why with a star like Mark Wahlberg they
