Somebody in Hollywood didn’t get the memo that rebooted TV properties from the ’80s are a dicey proposition. Just ask the folks who gave us “The A-Team,” the wannabe blockbuster that made us pity the fools who sank good money

How hard is it to say, “Obama has done a lousy job as president so far?” President Barack Obama’s celebrity backers simply refuse to pin any blame on him for a woeful economy or the litany of broken promises that

Why does Hollywood seem to despise Roman Catholicism? Granted, the industry’s antipathy towards religion as a whole, and Christianity in particular, is pretty much a given. But it appears that within this circle, no religion to them is more anathema

Expectations were sky high after Quentin Tarantino stunned the film world with the double barrel greatness of ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Pulp Fiction.’ It’s one reason why his third directorial effort, the slow and soulful “Jackie Brown,” was met with indifference

The final results from the special election held in New York’s uber-liberal 9th Congressional District could be both an ominous sign and political tide that may roll over the Democrat Party in Florida in 2012. NY-9 was considered one of

My followers on twitter know I’m an avid follower of mixed martial arts (MMA). As a pathetic attempt at a submission grappler myself, it would be reasonable to assume that I’d be first in line to see “Warrior.” Truth be

The President’s new site aimed at fighting that with which they disagree collects anything negative written of the President — what it terms “smears.” Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird said the site offers “new resources to fight

To say environmentalists are immune to reality is an understatement. When anyone dare question their conclusions, their deeply held “religious” beliefs, they are immediately attacked as a heretic, or worse, a shill for whatever industry they are trying to destroy.

Ed. Note: When I asked him to come on board as a contributor to make the case for “Men of a Certrain Age,” Jon told me he wasn’t a writer. After reading this debut piece, I have to disagree. Please

I’ve seen a lot of weird movies in my day; it’s safe to say I seek them out. I once saw a flick that depicted a “post-apocalypstick” world where men have devolved into apes, and the women of the world

That chill wind Hollywood liberal Tim Robbins warned about is indeed blowing and every stand-up comic and performance artist should be worried. However, it isn’t coming from some frustrated, prudish Christian right winger. It’s coming from the open-minded, diversity embracing,

We are in the throes of the Barack Obama Administration’s systematic, systemic assault of the free market. Every facet of our nation where private endeavor has brought us to the heights of individual achievement and general populace betterment is now

It seems hypocritical that MIT faculty member and recent Nobel Laureate, Peter Diamond, would lash out in a New York Times Op Ed titled: “When a Nobel Prize Isn’t Enough”, for not being confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the

We have recently heard very much about the Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)-induced flood of released documents. They show that the anti-free market group Free Press worked quite closely with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) uber-Democrat Commissioner Michael Copps

Here’s some completely depressing news. CNBC is reporting that President Obama is putting American taxpayers on the chopping block to bail out Greece’s corrupt politicians. But, to show he doesn’t discriminate, he also encouraged the German Chancellor to rape her

By most accounts, the Fatah-Hamas unity deal signing ceremony Wednesday was a grand affair. Hamas terror-chief Khaled Mashaal jetted in from Damascus. PLO/Fatah/Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas flew in from Ramallah. The ceremony was held under the auspices of the

The INET Bretton Woods summit, summoned by George Soros and those who alternatively hide behind, or gather around him, has now happened. But before trying to analyze whatever we may discover of what occurred there, it is critical to discern

Like a lot of middle-aged family men who sometimes pine for their days of care-free bachelorhood, I find myself drawn to the HBO series Entourage as a vehicle through which I can vicariously channel my long-gone youth – this time

How do bonuses equal to 50% of your annual salary sound? Wait – how do they sound if you’re not receiving them – but paying for them? And (most likely) on salaries far greater than the one you’re currently earning.

Michael Kinsley, in response to the current TIME cover story, which claims that Obama is channeling Ronald Reagan, concludes in a recent LA Times op-ed that: Reagan, with his sunny disposition amid catastrophe, taught Americans that it will all be

Nothing’s funnier than watching left-wing Hollywoodists whine over the fact that their precious Obama refused to raise taxes on those making over $250,000 a year — in the middle of a lingering recession that shows no signs of getting better

As the below video went viral over the weekend, Hollywoodland at least speculated that the celebrities involved had walked into the project unaware of what they were really getting into. The whole production just seemed too random, poorly produced and,

—– 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.

UPDATE: Americans for Limited Government have jumped on this issue and are pushing the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Nevada State Attorney General to get to the bottom of it, and now: It is positively outrageous that in Clark County,

No matter how famous he became, no matter how much money he earned, Tony Curtis was always Bernard Schwartz, an insecure and damaged Jewish kid from the Bronx. As the son of Hungarian-Jewish immigrants, Curtis didn’t speak English until he

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
