Redacted

Sep 3, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Brian De Palma's film Redacted received some press over the weekend because of its reception at the Venice film festival. The interesting thing about this to me is De Palma's "realities of war" are presented as "fictionalized" because he claims his lawyers kept him from presenting the truth. So in his own way, De Palma [...]

Schlussel Reviews 'Sicko'

Jun 28, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Debbie Schlussel reviews Michael Moore's Sicko and she's right on the money about HMOs and Moore conveniently leaving tort lawyers out of a film about American health care. See "Sicko": An Adjective Best Meant for Deluded Silver Screen Propagandist.

Waiting for the Tears

Jun 25, 2007 By Leave a Comment

I'm waiting for Tom Cruise to lead the victim parade of Scientologists who, for some reason, wonder why nobody takes their "religion" seriously: Germany bans Cruise film shoot. Germany has barred the makers of a movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming at German military sites because its star Tom Cruise is [...]

The Path to Censorship

Sep 8, 2006 By Leave a Comment

This whole ABC's "The Path to 9/11" versus the Democrats situation is now officially out of hand. Variety is reporting that ABC may actually cancel the miniseries because Clinton and his disciples are wailing like school children and threatening ABC's broadcasting license like their playground ball they want to take home. Democrat activists are shamelessly [...]

The High Cost of Bad PR

Nov 17, 2005 By Leave a Comment

It's been a couple of weeks since word started spreading about Wal-Mart's new "War Room" made of political veterans to combat negative media attention. Wal-Mart has become a political target and the release of the new fake-u-mentory, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices, with its endorsement by Ted Kennedy and the increasing anti-Wal-Mart rhetoric [...]

No Respect for a Great Author

Jun 19, 2004 By Leave a Comment

Michael Moore's new film is all about controversy. Without going into the politics of it, I think what he's done to Ray Bradbury is an example of his approach to getting noticed by shock value. This Madonna approach to marketing is effective. He's captured numerous headlines and is the right's new favorite target in the [...]
