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
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. Note: What are the odds that the same day I praise this film, this happens? — JN] Proving once again that Hollywood always gravitates to the wrong causes, Tim Cavanaugh of Reason.com reported on Dec. 14 that the California
Are we buying this? People don’t want to see Christmas movies? Steven Zeitchik of the L.A. Times: Studios don’t usually take sides in culture-wars debates. They do, however, pay attention to the shifting winds. And as Joe Roth, the former

The unshackling of the MSM — and, to a lesser extent, their erstwhile brethren in the Democratic Party — from the clutches of the nation’s teachers’ unions continues apace. In defiance of what must have been intense pressure from organized
Today’s L.A. Times: The command center of Andrew Breitbart’s growing media empire is a suite of offices on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles with the temporary feel of a campaign office. Only the computers seem firmly anchored. On a

Recently, FOX NEWS’ Bill O’Reilly interviewed Sylvester Stallone about his immensely popular movie, “The Expendables.” As I watched the interaction between O’Reilly and Stallone, it was readily apparent that Stallone was cut from a different cloth than many inside Hollywood:

Only in present-day Hollywood would a filmmaker have to try and cut off the media-created narrative that his creation was too patriotic. And it was this article written by left-winger Steven Zeitchik of the L.A. Times that created the kerfuffle
***clarification update below. Last week, film writer extraordinaire Christian Toto fell under the delusion that yours truly was interesting enough to interview, and if you’re under the same delusion you can read the two-parter here and here. Among other things,

Today’s L.A. Times: For years, Frank Miller spoke of a Gotham City graphic novel that would be like no other — for the 120 bone-crunching pages of “Holy Terror, Batman!” Miller — arguably the most important comic book artist of
How many women have to claim they were raped and/or sodomized by fugitive director Roman Polanski before Hollywood starts to treat him with a tenth of the disdain they have for Mel Gibson? How many, Harvey? Woody? Marty? Ms. Rape-Rape?
The L.A. Times‘s James Rainey predictably seizes on the Sherrod story, in a futile attempt to rehabilitate his reputation after his mishandling of the ACORN story last year. If I told you that Rainey’s attempt at column is highly dishonest,

Comprehending the work of a propagandist is nearly impossible. Since their goal is the opposite of trying to enlighten, there’s never any logic behind the words. Instead, the goal is to obscure and deflect in the hopes that The Lie
The first “Paranormal Activity” was one of my most pleasant and unexpected cinematic finds of last year. Even in the comfort of my living room, the story of a young suburban couple haunted by some kind of demonic poltergeist kept
On the heels of an L.A. Times story that 31% of Americans are “still not angry yet at the nation’s media,” one wonders how much lower that percentage would drop if the public knew exactly how much they are not

Recently, Matt Welch and I utterly destroyed Eric Boehlert’s ridiculous claim that nobody at the L.A. Times was ever allowed to casually denigrate President Bush: And I don’t even have to do a Google search to know for a fact
