Anti-Trump Horror Film ‘History of Evil’ Crushed by Critics
Liberal film critics judge progressive movies through a sympathetic lens. That’s not just a conservative film critic saying that. Richard Roeper said his peers reviewed 2016’s “Ghostbusters” flop “on a curve” due to its feminist bona fides. Michael Moore movies get raves, for the most part. Director Rob Reiner’s recent anti-Trump screed “God and Country” …

Joe Rogan Confirms Hollywood Blacklist Against Conservatives
Comedian Joe Rogan doesn’t need Hollywood anymore. His “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast earned him not one but two gargantuan contracts with Spotify. His days of watching people scarf down buffalo testicles on network TV are over. That’s not the case for wannabe stars who descend on Hollywood each year. They want a chance at their …

John Ondrasik Blasts Music Industry’s ‘Historic Moral Collapse’
John Ondrasik won’t land on any Grammy shortlist for his latest song. The singer known as Five for Fighting channeled his rage at not just the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis but the ensuing wave of antisemitism across Western culture. The result? The haunting ballad “OK” married Ondrasik’s beautiful voice with atrocities …

Seattle Comedy Club Cancels Four Unwoke Comics
Think Cancel Culture is going the way of the 8-track tape? Try again. A Seattle comedy club just canceled four comedians from its winter/spring schedule after “careful consideration and discussions with our team, investors, local comedians, and neighborhood advocacy groups.” Kurt Metzger, Jim Florentine, Dave Smith and Luis J. Gomez were scheduled to play Capitol …

‘Coddling’ Doc Destroys Woke Universities, Trigger Warnings and More
The kids are not remotely all right. “The Coddling of the American Mind,” sparked by the book of the same name by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, takes a few beats to get to the heart of the matter. Yes, young people will always struggle with school, dating drama and more recent stressors like social …

Drs. Phil, Drew Skewer Rampant Media Corruption
Dr. Phil ruled over syndicated TV for more than two decades. Dr. Drew’s “Loveline” gave troubled teens advice on the radio and MTV. Neither TV doctor spent much time dwelling on mainstream media bias over the years. That’s hardly the case today. Dr. Drew Pinsky rages against the corrupt media landscape on “The Adam and …

‘Land of Bad’ Offers Everything You Crave in a Military Thriller
Drone warfare changed how America goes to war and, to an extent, the way filmmakers bring combat scenes to life. The bravura 2015 film “Eye in the Sky” explored the morality of pushing buttons to win battles (and potentially kill innocents in the process). “Land of Bad” veers in a different direction. Hard. The thriller …

‘Drive-Away Dolls’ – Ethan Coen Goes Solo (And Pathetically Woke)
Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” inspired a flood of flashy copy-cats. His imitators aped his blend of hot action and cool banter. Suffice it to say few could come close to the real deal. That’s being generous. “Drive-Away Dolls” plays like a facsimile of a Coen brothers romp. Quirky dialogue. Spastic action. Southern twang talk. It’s …

Heartbreaking ‘Ordinary Angels’ Upends Faith-Based Rulebook
The story behind “Ordinary Angels” is almost too perfect for a major motion picture. A woman attempting to rebuild a life stained by alcoholism rallies a community to save a girl’s life, battling a mountain of medical bills in the process. In some hands “Ordinary Angels” would be a treacly, faith-based misfire. Director Jon Gunn …

New ‘Civil War’ Trailer Reveals No New Clues, But …
Credit where credit is due. We’ve now seen two trailers for director Alex Garland’s “Civil War” and still don’t know much about the movie. The setting is both clear and unsettling. America is at war with itself, and not a Cold War or one waged on social media. Guns. Bullets. Tanks. Bloodshed. The just-released second trailer …
