Alec Baldwin sure knows a thing or two about the feeling of being threatened. He’s seen it multiple times, both in the eyes of the man he punched in a parking squabble, and in the fearful faces of the paparazzi he’s been recorded bellowing at. But now Baldwin expects the world to believe he’s the snowflake after Donald Trump criticized his Trump impression on SNL, wondering whether the “…

A new character assassination, er, I mean biopic about Vice President Dick Cheney is set to hit theaters this Christmas. Starring Christian Bale in the titular role, Vice appears to be less of a thoughtful political drama detailing Cheney’s role during the Bush years, and more of a gritty, gangster movie, depicting the vice president’s quest for absolute power.

As Cory Booker is making it harder and harder to take him seriously, what with all his bloated grandstanding during the Kavanaugh hearing, coupled with the growing weight of his hypocrisy as an admitted groper of women, the Democratic senator has set his sights on political fundraising in Hollywood.

Okay. Let’s get this out of the way at the outset. The Trump press conference in Helsinki was a misstep. Which was corrected when seriously responsible people like former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stepped up to the plate and respectfully said so. But. The but comes from the massive - and IOK do mean massive - media meltdown that instantly followed.  Typical of the breed was my old colleague…

Yes, liberal America can’t stand Roseanne. The mere existence of a different political viewpoint on popular television offends them. Some are freaking out that the half of the nation that voted for the president of the United States is being normalized. The horror!  

Heading into the 2018 Oscars on Sunday night, it was already a given that the awards show would be dominated by left-wing politics. With the liberal media over the moon over the Oscars, the ratings were bound to take a tumble and, boy, did they ever. All told, the 18.9 preliminary Nielsen rating marked an embarrassing 15.6 percent fall from the Kimmel-hosted 2017 edition. 

Despite the liberal media’s roaring approval for Sunday’s Emmy Awards, the first ratings report showed that they were spectacularly awful, setting a new record low with an 8.2 overnight rating and beating out 2016 as the previous low. Deadline: Hollywood had the number in a Monday morning post, but writer Dominic Patten took until paragraph five to reveal the total (minus the giveaway of its…

On the surface, “Passengers” looks like sci-fi catnip. Two attractive stars play passengers on a long-distance space flight. Their cryo-pods open prematurely, forcing them to fix the faulty beds or live out their lives in space. Alone. The only thing left for them to do is fall in love.  That delivers both a sci-fi punch and romantic potential. And then there’s Lawrence’s open letter. The Oscar…

Set to open in New York City and Los Angeles on Wednesday night, the film is described this way in its synopsis: “See the…
