Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained December 11, 2012 Marion DS Dreyfus Opening Christmas Day: History as rewritten by nihilist jokers with an agenda -- an orgiastic spill of negativity and white self-loathing, a too-easy grab at convulsive payback.

The Master September 22, 2012 Marion DS Dreyfus A masterfully filmed ugly film that does not teach us anything we did not already know, nor provide us with an elevating entertainment. The movie as a whole is a visual feast but a mess.
Hillary Cheered Broadway's Book of Mormon, Condemns Innocence of Muslims September 17, 2012 Jack Cashill Apparently, Secretary Clinton has flexible standards.
Remember When Juror #3 Was the Villain? April 13, 2012 Jack Cashill It comes full circle for the liberals.
The 'Islamic Art' Hoax April 1, 2012 Jessica Rubin Talking about Islamic art is rather like talking about the art of the Khanates; just because different lands and cultures were conquered by Genghis Khan doesn't mean that there is a significance to grouping their art.
