The Hit Faith-Based Film “War Room” Is So Inspirational Moviegoers Start Singing Christian Songs Outside The Theater

Posted on by Scott McKay

Here’s something you won’t see every day… A group of Christian leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, were so inspired by the release of  ”War Room,”a new faith-based film that rocked the box office this past weekend, that they decided to show up and perform some Christian music inside of the atrium of a local mall.

‘Jurassic World’ Movie Now Being Called ‘Racist’ For What it Names a Dinosaur in Hit Movie

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The movie “Jurassic World” is on track to become one of the highest grossing movies of all time by all accounts. But now some halfwits are calling the movie racist for the nickname that the film gives its Pachycephalosaurus dinosaurs. First of all, it’s hard enough to even READ the dino name “Pachycephalosaurus,” much less […]

 

George Clooney’s Anti-Global Warming Film “Tomorrowland” on Track to Lose 140 Million Dollars

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

George Clooney’s newest movie has gotten dismal reviews, slammed as nothing more than a preachy ode to global warming. Unsurprisingly, that message didn’t really resonate with movie-goers, and the film is now on track to lose over one hundred million dollars. Disney could lose up to $140 million on the Brad Bird-directed George Clooney dystopian […]

 

Oprah Says You Racists Have to Die For Country to Love Obama

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a recent interview Oprah Winfrey said that the only reason someone wouldn’t like President Obama is because they are racists and then said that to fix the country all you white, racists will just have to die. Winfrey was exhaling her hot air with the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) where she was on a […]

 

A Short “Man Of Steel” Review + Is Superman a Jesus Allegory?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Most of the Superman movies up until now have been pretty bad and none of them have been in the same league as the top-of-the-line super-hero movies like The Dark Knight, Spider-Man or Iron Man. Even though Superman is one of the best known comic book heroes, it’s almost understandable that the movies haven’t been […]

 

New Film ‘The Purge’ A Slam on NRA, Tea Party Movement

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The new Ethan Hawke thriller The Purge was number one at the box office during its opening weekend, but critics are slamming the film for its thinly veiled commentary against the National Rifle Association, Sarah Palin, and Tea Party groups. The plot brings moviegoers to the near future where in 2022 a new regime has […]

 

Machine Gun Preacher: A Surprising and Gritty Message for All

Posted on by Anna Maria Hoffman

by: Johnny Whichard:  Introduction: My roommate and I are both movie-nuts.:  At least once a week, we’ll make a bag of popcorn, enjoy a beer and watch a film. As a film major, I have seen hundreds (if not thousands) of films and I generally find my roommate’s fascination with sci-fi flicks hysterical. One night, however, […]

 

“The Adjustment Bureau” is Worth Investigating

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

There are too many films that deal with existential dilemmas which provide a viewing experience that is more work than pleasure. The most notable films are those written by Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich) and while they have their purpose they are by no means relaxing films. Sometimes it […]

 

‘I Love You Phillip Morris’ Doesn’t Provide Enough to Love

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

When Hollywood says something is a true story, do you believe it in full? If you do you may be under the age of twelve. If not you have likely seen enough films to realize that filmmakers like to change the truth quite often. Look at The Social Network from earlier this year. While it’s […]

 

Some of the Unsung, Working Actors that Died in 2010…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We all know the really famous actors that died in 2010. But there was also a bunch of actors that, when you see their face, you’ll remember… if, that is, you were a big TV and film watcher during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and/or 80s. Check out the familiar faces of the following 25 actors. […]

 

2010: The Entertainment Industry’s PC Year in Review

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the entertainment industry’s practitioners of political correctness, 2010 was another banner year. Even as conservatives have made deserved headway in La La Land and other areas of the industry, there still aren’t enough conservatives to bring much needed patriotism, logic, and common sense to the scene. Sadly, the industry is still filled with those […]

 

Coen Brothers Master the Western with “True Grit”

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

For years many people including myself have felt that the Western is dead. Sure, there have been a few to come around like Open Range and 3:10 to Yuma, but that’s nothing for a genre that was once so popular that Westerns were being pumped out weekly (on film and TV). Today it’s difficult to […]

 

“Little Fockers” Administers a Double Dose of Blah

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

This Holiday season Hollywood is apparently taking a break from Christmas movies. In fact, Hollywood seems to be having a serious love affair with remakes and unnecessary sequels. Who really asked for a reboot of The A-Team or Tron? Absolutely no one asked for MacGruber. So what is going on? Your guess is as good […]

 

New Film ‘Machete’: Cynical Exploitation of America’s Racial Troubles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The new film Machete is born of a joke. No, really. In 2006 when Quentin Tarantino was gearing up for his double feature movie experience Grindhouse, he solicited other directors and even the fans to make fake trailers for bad 70’s exploitation moves. These trailers were shown between the two features in a takeoff of […]

 

A Tale of Two Anti-Semitic Rants: Oliver Stone’s Not So Bad, Mel Gibson’s Horrible

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some of you may recall that early in the morning of July 28 of 2006 actor Mel Gibson was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Los Angeles, California. During that arrest, it was reported that Gibson was alleged to have launched into a brief but vehement denunciation of Jews that were “responsible for all […]

 

Democrats Force Captain America to Flee America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

California’s Democrats have forced the upcoming Captain America movie to be filmed in England. Why would that be, Buckey? Because it’s just too expensive to film the movie in California because of the Democrat’s punitive taxes. For Yahoo Movies, Mike Ryan asks a seminal question: Should We Now Call Him ‘Captain England’? In his lament, […]

 

Liberal Fascism: The Font

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

In a way, Helvetica is the font of liberal fascism; it’s certainly the font of corporatism. To borrow from one of the concluding memes of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, it’s the softer authoritarian nanny state of Brave New World, not the oppressiveness militarism of 1984.

 

Camelot and its Discontents: Mad Men on DVD

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

I have a lengthy (and spoiler-packed, for better or worse) review of the third season of Mad Men (now out on DVD) over on the Pajamas’ main page. Topics discussed include the show’s slightly skewed politics and history of the Kennedy-era 1960s, amongst other things.

 

Deutschland Deja Vu: The Baader Meinhof Complex

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Watching The Baader Meinhof Complex’s titular Teutonic terrorist gang in action on the small screen, I was struck by déjà vu of it all. A small but growing band of radicals with a penchant for street theater, wishing to smash capitalism and destroy the system from within, led by a fanatical, brawling leader, with at least one articulate well-bred intellectual within the inner circle. Starting off by blowing up small, bourgeois shops. Eventually hooking up with sympathetic allies in the Middle East. Then killing American soldiers. And when finally cornered, going out in a Gotterdammerung of mass suicide rather than face punishment from their captors. That’s never happened in Germany before

 

Twilight New Moon: 36 Hours Until Premiere

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Just sayin’. And for your pleasure, a teaser. Don’t be a hater. You hate what you don’t understand. And a pre-review review: And for those of you who think I’m hijacking John Hawkin’s righteous right wing rantings, consider this payback for all the ranking hot girl pieces he’s done. Edward Cullen is teh hawt. That […]

 

New Hollywood Movie Says Islam Destroyed by 2012!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Roland Emmerich’s new end-of-the-world disaster film 2012 has a rollicking good time destroying every monument to man’s architectural genius in the world. The Sistine Chapel goes kablooie, as does the Vatican and the giant Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. The White House gets flattened, too. All man’s most well known landmarks get […]

 

Slasher Flicks, Horrifying 9/12 Numbers, & Actual Terrorism
