‘The Blind’ Becomes Fathom Events’ Biggest Film to Date
“Sound of Freedom” remains the biggest movie surprise of 2023, outgrossing some of the biggest franchises in film history. “The Blind” may be a respectable second-place finisher. The latter recalls the complicated courtship between future “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson and his bride, Kay. The God-fearing patriarch battled the bottle earlier in his life, and …

Celebs Tell Resting Biden Not to Rest During Hostage Crisis
Celebrities are in a tough spot these days. Some are staying silent rather than calling out the barbarism behind the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israeli citizens. That’s most notable courtesy of the Writers Guild of America’s inability to condemn terrorism. A few said all the right things from the jump, including Jerry Seinfeld. Many …

31 Days of Horror – ‘Crawl’
Crocodiles don’t get the genre love that sharks do, but Hollywood still finds something scary about the critters. Modern croc romps like “Rogue,” “Lake Placid” and “Black Water” stoked our fears of these scaly beasts. We’re still waiting for the crocodile equivalent of “Jaws,” the movie that sets the bar impossibly high for the sub-genre. …

Writers Guild Can’t Reach Consensus on Condemning Terror
The woke mind virus demands everyone, from plumbers to politicians, weigh in on the latest headlines. And, as is often the case, they must arrive at the “correct” position. We saw that after George Floyd’s death following a police altercation elevated Black Lives Matter to national prominence. Suddenly, every corporation had to promote the far-Left …

31 Days of Horror – ‘Backcountry’
Greet horror movies “based on a true story” with extreme skepticism. “The Blair Witch Project’s” marketing machine teased the “truth” behind its fictional found footage yarn to great effect. The 1974 horror classic “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” similarly stretched a kernel of truth like taffy to fit the advertising campaign. The events depicted in 2014’s “Backcountry” …

Jon Stewart: Put Up or Shut Up
“The Problem with Jon Stewart” never overcame the show’s biggest obstacle. Ratings. The former “Daily Show” anchor drew a paltry crowd for his Apple TV+ program despite endless press adulation and a crush of hot-button topics. As the @EntStrategyGuy noted this week, it really is wild that basically *none* of the people writing about Jon …

31 Days of Horror – ‘Slither’
Some of our biggest stars first got noticed in low-rent horror films. Kevin Bacon met Jason Voorhees’ ma the hard way in the original “Friday the 13th.” Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey graced “The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” the 1995 sequel that failed to replicate the terror of the 1974 classic. “Slither,” from …

31 Days of Horror – ‘X’
Slasher films once obsessed over sex. The genre’s young, attractive victims had plenty of it, or they shed their clothes before getting impaled by the nearest sharp object. Director Ti West understands that not-so-rich history and tweaks it via his sturdy horror film “X.” A group of pretty, ambitious teens seek a place to shoot …

Hamas Atrocities Red-Pilling Progressive Stars
Your average celebrity trusts the mainstream media. Still. They read the following stories, all debunked, and keep on believing the headlines in their news feeds. Russia Collusion Hoax Hands Up, Don’t Shoot Hoax Jussie Smollett Hoax Covington Hoax Very Fine People Hoax Trump Trashes Troops Hoax Rittenhouse Hoax Border Agents Whipping Illegals Hoax NASCAR Noose …

31 Days of Horror – ‘Girl on the Third Floor’
Creaky floors. Flickering lights. Objects that move on their own. Haunted house movies are a staple of the Halloween season, but it’s hard not to be bored by the sub-genre’s tropes by now. That’s why “Girl on the Third Floor” proved such a respite from the status quo. The 2019 film follows a man who …
