Why Robert De Niro Could Actually HELP Trump Win Reelection

Robert De Niro once had a simple policy when it came to press interviews. No, thank you. GQ penned an entire feature story in 2006 around the star’s reluctance to chat with journalists. (This reporter briefly met De Niro at a public event years ago and he politely declined to chat.) That changed during the …

SXSW Cancels Cancel Culture Expert Rikki Schlott

Hollywood has failed free speech over and again in the Age of Woke. Film festivals are no exception. The latter are so deeply entrenched in progressive groupthink they rarely open their screenings to right-leaning fare. Nor do they take public stands against censorship, Cancel Culture or woke bylaws in general. More recently, the Sundance Film …

‘Cabrini’ Stuns in More Ways Than One

Frances Xavier Cabrini wouldn’t take no for an answer. The Italian immigrant known as Mother Cabrini pushed past patriarchal bullies, making history with every selfless act. She’s no Girlboss, just the remarkable Saint at the center of “Cabrini.” The big-screen take on Mother Cabrini’s life is worthy of its subject matter. Sweeping in scope and …

Joe Rogan: Karine Jean-Pierre Is Worst Press Secretary … Ever

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has it easier than her predecessors. They often became comic foils for late-night hosts or “Saturday Night Live.” Sometimes both. Consider how satirists pounced and seized on President Donald Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer after just a few short months in the gig. Sarah Huckabee Sanders proved far more capable in …

Jon Stewart Mocks Dr. Phil as Gay for Noticing Border Invasion

Dr. Phil quickly figured out how open-border advocates deal with their critics. “You’re a racist” for wanting any semblance of immigration control.  This week, Jon Stewart proved Dr. Phil right in the ugliest way possible. The “Daily Show” host brought up the porous U.S. southern border in a 10-minute screed brimming with misinformation, bias of …

Lurid ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ Delivers the Grindhouse Goods

Love often blooms between damaged souls, but in “Love Lies Bleeding” there’s another element in play. Iron. The story of a female bodybuilder falling for the daughter of a small-town thug feels fresh on the surface. It’s still a grindhouse thriller with more than a few wrinkles to spike the formula. Just don’t forget to …

Here’s Why Hollywood Won’t Let Actors Talk to Conservative Media

Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson are on the promotional circuit for the faith-based drama “Ordinary Angels.” Stars routinely chat with journalists about their latest projects. It’s Marketing 101. Swank and Ritchson even dropped by “The View,” arguably the most far-Left platform in the media landscape. The appearance let them reach the story’s female audience, even …
