You might be asking yourself — who is this guy? He looks familiar. That’s because he has like a million credit on IMDb.com. I was watching an episode of From the Earth to the Moon on DVD the other day and he had quite a substantial role — and he was great. [...] Possessed (1947) This brief description doesn’t do the film justice… Joan Crawford still suffers from the hatchet job that was Mommie Dearest. The woman [...] He’s back! After the scandal of the CRU e-mail revelations and the IPCC lies (and vice versa) many wondered if the high priest of the global-warming alarmist movement had permanently retired to his electrified compound to curse, moan, and count his carbon-offset millions. Alas, we’re not done with Al Gore, yet. If the former vice-president learned nothing [...] This is not a new story, but it’s new on Snopes, where I saw it. (It took them over six months to check this out.) It appears some bitter clingers—you know, typical white people—in Idaho requested a military flyover at their “God & Country” festival, at which “new military recruits [are] inducted and all military [are] [...] (* my new 3D series: Wankette’s Worth Watching) PBS, those marketing geniuses, decided to break up Masterpiece Theatre into three “pieces”: Classic, Contemporary, and (adding the previously separate collection to the mix) Mystery! Classics continues its season tonight with a remake of John Buchan’s The 39 Steps (yes, the same one Hitchcock did). It got mixed reviews in [...] It seems the Ghost Whisperer likes to have jewels glued to her special place. “What’s that?!?” you say. Share on Facebook Share on Facebook David Bellavia visits a theme I have discussed here once or twice. The real heroes this nation produces and how we never hear of them or celebrate their stories. This is the story of Melvin Brown …PFC Brown was nineteen-years old in 1950. Rosy cheeks and bright eyes. From my assessment of his pictures he barely [...] Ben-Hur (1959) One area where Wanks and I will always disagree is on which Ben Hur is the best. And while I agree the Roman Navarro version [...] We need some more of this and while I agree that POTUS and the office deserve respect — there’s a way to be direct and confrontational without ad hominem. h/t Jonah Goldberg Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Share on Facebook After last weekend’s debacle, Five is at a “Learn to explain it” clinic in Lausanne.

When will they remake Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs? When was the last film with a graphic rape scene perpetrated by ingrown English hicks? I mean — think Deliverance except heterosexual and with [...] From Iowahawk, this is absolutely hill-fing-larious. That’s right, mister! The Axis automotive powers have declared war on American motorists and our cherished union-made way of life. They’ve established secret assembly beach heads in so-called “right-to-work” occupied Vichy states like Alabama and Tennessee, manufacturing six sigma deathtrap jalopies with hillbilly slave dupes paid less than prevailing wages! And now [...] A flight to Atlanta was canceled because two female flight attendants got in a “disagreement”. Delta Airlines found other travel arrangements for the passengers and the flight attendants were removed from duty pending investigation. Judging from the security video of the altercation below I hope they go easy on them. And the [...] Share on Facebook …on your Gucci-clad behind. Social Climber Secretary Desiree Rogers is leaving to pursue other opportunities: In a statement released Friday…the Obamas said, “We are enormously grateful to Desiree Rogers for the terrific job she’s done as the White House Social Secretary.

As I wrote in an earlier post, I think the Republicans failed to hit a home run today. They made some good, key points, but I think they failed to communicate what is most essential. Here is a [...] The Emperor Legislator has no clothes. I heard some of today’s Health Care summit on the radio, but I have not seen any of the footage. Who won? From what I’ve heard I think the Republicans did, but it was like a baseball game where both teams allow a few runs to score because [...] This will boost our traffic to be sure. A woman was apparently saved from a gunshot to the wound to the chest by her D-Cup silicon breast implants.

There are plenty of good reasons to dislike the Federal Reserve… and then there are Paulie’s reasons. Cocoa Puffs anyone? h/t: Jonah Goldberg at The Corner Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Today’s movie goers are accustomed to getting lectured at the cinemaplex. Narrative films (“Lions for Lambs”) and documentaries alike (“Food, Inc.,” “Capitalism: A Love Story”) jam their perspectives down the viewers’ throats. But horror movies are often far more effective vehicles for sending socially aware messages.And genre fans don’t seem to mind. Zombie king George A.
