Some propaganda with your abortion? Actor Elizabeth Banks, most commonly known from The Hunger Games, recently starred in a 1960s-set story about a mother who stumbles upon an underground abortion network called “The Janes.”

The front page of the New York Times Saturday Arts section featured a castigation of the new Marilyn Monroe “biopic.” Critic-at-large Amanda Hess’s insidious critique focused on a single scene of the film showing a “beatific, photorealistic fetus.” Why? Hess doesn’t come out and say it, but one suspects she fears such images risk humanizing “the fetus” (which of course is already…

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Episode 4 – 'The Great Wave' was released on Friday, September 16, which means we are now halfway through the new Lord of the Rings series, and it doesn’t look like things are getting much better when it comes to the reviews of Amazon’s latest show.

So much so, that The Rings of Power is still getting…

Baldwin deserves sympathy in the same degree he’s shown courage, compassion and accountability since the shooting. That is, none.

Aaron Sorkin is one of Hollywood’s most gifted scribes. The mind behind The West Wing, “A Few Good Men” and, more recently, “Being the Ricardos” writes smart, snappy banter that makes even mediocre moments pop. And he’s got an Oscar and four Emmys to show for it. But how would Hollywood of 2022 feel about his free speech views? 

CNN senior writer Brian Lowry, and by extension CNN media reporter Brian Stelter mocked right-of-center New York Times columnist Ross Douthat for daring to write about two new movies in his latest column, even though he’s been a movie critic for National Review for years. Stelter’s June 19 newsletter included a snotty take from Lowry that suggested Douthat should stick to…

Actor Johnny Depp brought a defamation case against his former wife, actress Amber Heard, after she made domestic abuse allegations. Most everyone, right and left, following the trial believed Depp and considered Heard a liar, an opinion supported by the jury verdict in his favor. It’s left the liberals at the New York Times discombobulated, who are quite disturbed…

Wokeness is nothing new in the modern age of movies. Unfortunately, an industry that was once a staple of American culture has become nothing more than a propaganda machine of the left. Disney has become one of the most prominent promoters of wokeism, as seen in a trailer for its new movie “Thor: Love and Thunder.”

In Sunday's Washington Post, liberal chief movie critic Ann Hornaday is again professing her love for abortion movies. "Once taboo, abortion emerges from the cinematic shadows," she proclaimed. Once again, she is ripping movies like Juno and Knocked Up, where abortion "had to be reflexively rejected."

Sam Elliott is retiring from acting. At least, he doesn’t seem to want to work in Hollywood anymore. If he did, he wouldn’t have uncorked a glorious rant about a “piece of shit” Oscar-nominated movie and its LGBT sacred cow(boys).
