‘Fly Me to the Moon’ Delivers a Seriously Silly Rom-Com
“Fly Me to the Moon” hijacks the mother of all conspiracy theories for our rom-com age. The ’60s-era film follows a love story entangled in a fake moon landing scheme. Sound silly? It is until it isn’t. And then it is again. “Fly Me to the Moon” offers some retro charm, two appealing leads and …

Harsh Reality Check for Red State Movies
This time last year “Sound of Freedom” shocked just about everyone in Hollywood. The July 4th release had sat on Disney’s shelf for nearly five years before Angel Studios set it free. The result? The year’s most unlikely blockbuster, trumping “Fast X,” “The Flash,” “The Marvels” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” A …

Michael Moore: ‘Trump Was Right’ About This One Thing
Michael Moore hopped aboard the “Trump is Hitler” bandwagon with his 2018 film “Fahrenheit 11/9.” It hardly came as a shock. Moore is one of Hollywood’s most notoriously liberal voices, and the Trump/Hitler comparison lives on today despite copious evidence to the contrary – like four years in office without concentration camps or similar atrocities. …

Colbert: Biden a ‘Great President’ Without a Brain
Stephen Colbert needed a stiff drink to pull off Monday’s monologue. Literally. Why? The “comedian” spent years pretending President Joe Biden wasn’t battling some version of dementia. When the June 27 presidential debate removed any doubt the Commander in Chief’s brain no longer worked properly it left Colbert no choice. Tell the truth. Or at …

The Left Eats Its Own: Hollywood Edition
Radicals have been on the march since George Floyd’s death four years ago. They’ve ravaged cities, destroyed businesses, torn down statues and made a mockery of the rule of law.

‘Sorry / Not Sorry’ is the Louis C.K. Documentary We Need. Mostly
Louis C.K. went from comedic genius to social pariah, and he had no one but himself to blame. The comic’s off-screen behavior, specifically exposing himself to female comedians, earned his professional cancellation. No ugly tweet or blackface shtick, mind you. These were real-world actions that hurt people. Except he refused to go away. The documentary …

Rob Reiner Does 180 on President Biden: It’s Time to ‘Step Down’
No celebrity loathes President Donald Trump more than Rob Reiner. The director of “The Princess Bride,” “This is Spinal Tap” and “Misery” rages against the real estate mogul early and very often. He even made a box office dud aimed at crippling Trump’s latest presidential run. He’s the poster child for Trump Derangement Syndrome, warning …

Why ‘MaXXXine’ Lives Down to Its Seedy Roots
Director Ti West and Mia Goth proved the perfect horror movie combo with “X” and “Pearl.” West’s retro vision wouldn’t work without someone as committed as Goth in front of the camera. She proved that in the first two films of his genre trilogy, with “Pearl” giving Goth the tour de force platform actresses crave. …

Five Fascinating Lessons from ‘Horizon’s’ Sluggish Start
Kevin Costner isn’t a gambler by trade, but he went all in with “Horizon.” The “Yellowstone” alum sunk millions into a film he directed, co-wrote and co-starred in. He even dubbed the oater “An American Saga.” Audiences begged to differ. The film hauled in just $11 million in its opening frame, casting a chill over …
