How many great films can a filmmaker create before he is awarded a “get out of jail free” card? The answer should be none. No amount of artistic talent can justify a heinous crime. It is interesting how so many are able to jump to the defense of someone because they are a fan (or [...]
Hollywood Men Engage In Child Rape?
On at 12:10 am
Does Hollywood’s response to Roman Polanski’s capture indicate that child rape is rampant among celebrities? Considering that the vast majority of signatories of the petition which calls for the immediate release of an admitted rapist are men, what are we to infer about Hollywood’s feelings on such blatantly immoral and destructive against Women? Perhaps this [...]

As his recent media appearances indicate, Michael Moore has tackled a topic in his most recent film that he is clueless about.

In National Lampoon’s “Vacation” film series Cousin Eddie is the kind of relative you would choose to be related to, compared to Randy Quaid. If you think you’ve read the last of the saga of Randy Quaid and his wife whats-her-name, think again. It’s not that they have so much further to fall before they [...]
