It Gets Even Worse for Newspapers December 15, 2012Thomas Lifson
It's been a hellish decade for members of the once-mighty newspaper industry, but down in Miami, the ink-stained wretches have just endured the deepest insult of all.
Quentin Tarantino's Django UnchainedDecember 11, 2012Marion 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 DictatorSeptember 29, 2012Marion DS Dreyfus
Though it got hardly a ripple in the critical columns, Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator goes farther than any popular film at lambasting the deficits and negatives of life in the Arab Middle East.
The Master September 22, 2012Marion 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.
The 'Islamic Art' Hoax April 1, 2012Jessica Rubin

Polanski, Paterno, and the Press November 18, 2011Jack Cashill
The phrase "double standard" does not do justice to a media that can write approvingly of a slimy predator like Polanski and harshly of an otherwise decent man like Paterno who failed to react to a predator in his midst.
De-Christianizing Dr. King November 13, 2011Peter Heck
On the surface, I suppose it does sound incredible: they created a monument to honor an influential Baptist minister and they omitted any reference to God or Jesus in the featured quotations throughout the memorial.
The Real J. Edgar Hoover November 9, 2011Elise Cooper
If the goal of the new movie J. Edgar was to tear down J. Edgar Hoover, the filmmakers did a good job. The film portrayed him in an unfavorable light, not as the person once considered a hero.
Citizen J. Edgar? November 9, 2011Thomas Lifson
A friend who knew that I saw a press screening of director Clint Eastwood's heavily promoted new movie J. Edgar asked if it was worth seeing or politically skewed. I answered, "Both, unfortunately."
The Astonishing World to Come July 27, 2011Herbert E. Meyer
