Filmmaker Michael Moore is as dishonest in print as he is on film -- as Fred Barnes recently discovered. A FEW YEARS AGO Michael Moore, who's now promoting an anti-President Bush movie entitled Fahrenheit 9/11, announced he'd gotten the goods on me, indeed hung me out to dry on my own words. It was in […]
Filmmaker Michael Moore recently got quite a bit of press after revealing to the world that (surprise!) Disney didn't want to distribute his latest piece of anti-American, hate-filled vitriol. Well, another documentary filmmaker is looking for a distributor, and you can bet he won't get nearly the press that the bloviating Moore did. THE tape […]
I was talking to one of my colleagues at the Union-Tribune photo editor and former pirate radio movie reviewer David Poller, who had this to say about "Van Helsing:" Wait 'til it comes out on video, then don't see it. You've been warned.
Lying, hate-filled, arrogant, et cetera, ad infinitum fillmmaker created a brouhaha last week when he accused Disney of violating his First Amendment rights by refusing to distribute his latest film pack of lies.

The Wall Street Journal ran an article (link for subscribers only) about the Academy Award-nominated Best Foreign Film "Osama," about a girl who poses as a boy to support her family under Taliban rule. A film about Osama arrived at the […]
I've been watching some of the TV reporting and listening to some talk radio where various individuals have been discussing "The Passion." The concern that has been raised is that the movie may create anti-Semitic feeling and lead to violence against Jews. I haven't seen the film, but this claim is hogwash. Most Christians nowadays […]
I watched most of Mel Gibson's interview on ABC last night (I think I missed the first 5-10 minutes) and was impressed. Gibson's description of the flaws in the past and how, by the grace of God, he finally overcame many of them, was inspiring. I'll see the "Passion" when it comes out -- probably […]
Last weekend I finally got around to seeing "The Pianist." The movie is the story of Polish Jewish concert pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman and how he survived World War II through luck and the help of friends and other people who risked their lives to save him from the concentration camps. There are several scenes in […]
