The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the latest school doing everything they can to shut down and silence any conservative voice on campus. I am an alumnus of this school who luckily had great teachers while acquiring a major in film studies (of all things). Unfortunately, there was nothing but horror stories from my friends taking [...]
On April 21, 2010, Comedy Central aired episode “201” of South Park. The previous episode, “200,” which was a celebration of their 200th episode, sparked controversy from a radical fringe Muslim group who threatened violence on the show’s creators because of their use of the character Muhammed. After seeing the season 14 DVD of South [...]
Political intimidation is alive and well in this country. Anyone who believes that Hollywood has the power to make any film they want without consequence must be dreaming.
Originally published October 10, 2010. For many, South Park is one of the most important shows on television because of how it consistently punches the left. A few years ago, Brian Anderson wrote South Park Conservatives, which discussed the growing trend that is a new brand of youth conservatism. The politics of my generation, Gen [...]
Anyone going to see the new DreamWorks animation film Megamind this weekend will notice something interesting midway through. There are actually people in Hollywood who will mock President Obama’s campaign, showing “No, You Can’t” signs that represent the “Yes, We Can” signs that were plastered all over college campuses and hybrid vehicles two years ago.

Sequels are a big risk in Hollywood, especially when they are driven by ideology. Sure, some franchises can carry their audience through multiple films, but not all of them are Harry Potter. Many of the best filmmakers working today such as Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, David Fincher and Christopher Nolan have been [...]

Katie Couric recently interviewed Clint Eastwood about his new film, Hereafter, but also discussed politics towards the [...]
It should be of no surprise that the man who played Dirty Harry wouldn’t be carrying water for our celebrity-in-chief Barack Obama. Katie Couric recently interviewed Clint Eastwood about his new film, Hereafter, but also discussed politics towards the end of the video. The actor/director, who has long been one of the level headed people [...]
Comedians have been using humor as a way to comment on serious matters as long as I can remember (and even longer than that). Growing up I enjoyed listening to comics like George Carlin who always called it like they saw it. One didn’t have to agree with everything Carlin said to appreciate how he [...]
One of my favorite films growing up was Ghostbusters. Great comic talents Dan Aykroyd (who plays Dr. Ray Stantz), Harold Ramis ( Dr. Egon Spengler) and Bill Murray (Dr. Peter Venkman) were scientists studying supernatural phenomenon on a university grant until one day their funding was cut. Upon discussing where they could work, knowing no [...]
