I knew Ron Silver was ill, but I had no idea it was this far along. Rest in peace, Ron. You’ll be missed. Once a self-identified lifelong Democrat, Silver was a founding member of the liberal-leaning Creative Coalition in 1989. But he made a breathtaking political transformation, going from ...
Hollywood stars are out saving the world again (what would we do without them?), and getting a lesson in clenched fist method acting from the Islamic fanatics who rule Iran. TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An adviser to Iran’s president on Sunday demanded an apology from a team of visiting ...
Coming soon on FX: 9/11 Trutherism for the masses, promoted by a cretinous actor who is a genuine, in-real-life Troofer. Disgusting. A coming episode of the acclaimed FX drama “Rescue Me” will tackle what may sound like a far-fetched plot line: that the attacks of Sept. 11 were an ...

Wow. The MPAA thinks that because modern technology makes it hard to legally prove the origins of copyrighted materials distributed via the net, they should be able to collect damages from people without proving anything.

Oliver Stone is rushing to finish his new film in time for the Presidential election, a film that asks the question, “How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?” It’s a light-hearted fantasy. A real feel-good movie. Capra-esque, but with a ...
The movie Stop Loss is yet another in a long string of Hollywood anti-American and antiwar flops: ‘Stop-Loss’ DOA. I’m told #7 Stop-Loss opened to only $1.6 million Friday from just 1,291 plays and should eke out $4 M. Although the drama from MTV Films was the best-reviewed movie opening this weekend, Paramount wasn’t ...
What the heck — why not an Academy Awards thread? I’m watching it on my Mac, using a nifty broadcast high-definition receiver, the [Amazon Link]. And it looks fabulous, of course. A reminder: if the ‘reply’ or ‘quote’ functions don’t seem to be working right, refresh your page to reload ...
The “Bob Lee Swagger” novels of Stephen Hunter are a weakness of mine, so I was looking forward to the movie version of [Amazon Link], renamed “[Amazon Link],” even though it co-starred Castro/Chavez suck-up Danny Glover. Unfortunately Glover’s cruddy politics seem to have leaked all over the script, because near ...

Los Angeles - Despite critical acclaim and massive promotional budgets, a wave of anti-Santa holiday pictures floundered at ...
Redacted: the world’s first self-detonating movie. November 25, 2007 — IT’S hard for Hollywood pacifists like Brian De Palma to capture the hearts and minds of America if Americans won’t see their movies. While the public is staying away in droves from “Rendition,“ “Lions for Lambs” and “In the ...
National Public Radio film critic David Edelstein says Brian DePalma’s anti-US movie Redacted is terrible—but he loves it anyway: NPR Loves Bad Cinema — If It’s ‘Laudable Agitprop’ Against the Troops. UPDATE at 11/25/07 1:22:55 pm: Another anti-war box office bomb.

The world’s most openly biased wire service, Agence France Presse, has a piece on the recent crop of awful Hollywood movies about terrorism and Iraq, completely ignoring the films’ unanimous left-wing political slant to argue that they’re failing because the war is unpopular: Hollywood is casualty of war as movie-goers ...

LGF reader Gregg Rossen sent a link to a funny short he and his writing partner Brian Sawyer made, about the Hollywood writer’s strike, titled “Heroes of the Writers Strike:” [Video] The LA Times had a piece about it last week: Screenwriters mull flipping burgers.

Director Brian De Palma, maker of some of the most amoral and voyeuristically violent Hollywood films in existence, has released a fictionalized attack on the US military based on material he found on the internet: ’Redacted’ stuns Venice. This article doesn’t say which web sites De Palma used for research, ...
