It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's a Super Snub. James Gunn's 'Superman,' the anticipated DCEU reboot starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, opens nationwide July 11. Warner Bros. has spent months leaking teasers, movie snippets and other marketing morsels to make this the cinematic event of the summer. Denver-based film critics won't get to see 'Superman' until everyone else does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox8ZLF6cGM0 There are currently no press screenings set for 'Superman' in the greater Denver area. A PR representative tells HiT her team wasn't 'activated' on the title. That means members of the Denver Film Critics
Adam Carolla cracks wise on podcasts, interviews and via comedy club stages. He gets serious when the subject of the California wildfires comes up. And he's not just bloviating on the subject. He lives in the greater Los Angeles area and routinely tours the neighborhoods to see how they're bouncing back after wildfires destroyed thousands of homes in January. So far, not so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4UHpXvCiw4 'Clearing the debris is one part of the job, and it's fairly easy and simple. What they haven't touched is the foundation,' Carolla said in an update shared on 'The Adam Carolla Show' podcast. He
Hollywood took a turn for the worse in the wake of the George Floyd riots. Not only did Cancel Culture ramp up but select programs were memory-holed for their 'problematic' content. Case in point: Tina Fey approved the removal of four '30 Rock' episodes with black face-adjacent gags. Warning labels suddenly graced beloved films, from 'Dumbo' to 'Goodfellas.' Comedians had to watch what they said or risk career repercussions. The most shocking nod to diversity at all costs? The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made Best Picture nominees adapt to woke bylaws ... or else. The Oscars has
Jeff Goldblum's 'Jurassic Park' character had more charisma in his pinky than anyone in 'Jurassic World Rebirth.' Yeah, that's a problem. Watching dinosaurs romp across the screen will never get old. It's why 'Rebirth' is the seventh film in the 'Jurassic' saga, and likely the start of a new trilogy. We still need characters to care about, and the heroes in 'Jurassic World Rebirth' barely qualify. And you can blame the scribe who set this saga in motion for that state of affairs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jan5CFWs9ic Scarlett Johansson supplies the star power as Zora Bennett, an 'extraction' specialist who takes a team
Scott Thompson won't be confused with MAGA anytime soon. The Canadian comic spent part of a recent interview excoriating President Donald Trump for his '51st State' jabs at his native Canada. Even though, Thompson admits, Trump has some points in his Canuck critique. The 'Kids in the Hall' alum still saved plenty of venom for another target, one that's unexpected given his political leanings. GLAAD - The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Thompson targets the group in his new, one-man special, 'The Last Glory Hole,' featuring his outrageous Buddy Cole character. He teased his rationale during a chat with
Some classic rockers know fans only want the 'hits.' You know, the songs that made them famous and gave rock radio fodder for decades. Elvis Costello hasn't stopped recording new music since he burst onto the scene in the late 1970s. He still recognized a hunger for his early work, and he obliged fans with this year's 'Radio Soul' tour. To a point. Radio Soul Tour kicks off next week in Seattle,WA! See all the tour dates: https://t.co/ihKfb1bSXB pic.twitter.com/HUF6lNOePO — Elvis Costello (@ElvisCostello) June 4, 2025 Costello visited Denver Sunday, bringing with him a delicious blend of hits ('Alison,' 'Pump
The Wrap has done a better job covering the rise of antisemitism than its competitors. That's not saying much, but it matters. The outlet gave coverage to both 'Screams Before Silence' and 'October 8,' haunting documentaries tied to Hamas' barbarism. Most outlets ignored 'Silence' entirely despite its YouTube availability. Legacy Media in general has downplayed the serial attacks on Jewish people in Western society, from college campuses to censored artists. Many Hollywood news sites looked the other way as Jewish acts have been canceled in recent months, including Michael Rapaport, Matisyahu and author/actor Brett Gelman. Any sign of progress in
You couldn't blame Blumhouse for serving up a second 'M3GAN' movie. The 2023 original (released in limited theaters at the very end of 2022) cost a pittance by modern standards - $12 million. The horror-comedy went on to earn $180 million globally. That kind of ROI demands a sequel, especially for a savvy studio like Blumhouse. It's just math. The original team returned for 'M3GAN 2.0,' including writer/director Gerard Johnstone ('Housebound') and stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw and Jenna Davis as the title character's voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYLHdEzsk1s&t=48s What happened next? 'M3GAN 2.0' bombed in its opening frame, earning roughly $10.4 million.
The modern Left will only defend free speech when its own denizens are under attack. We've seen that so often over the last few years it's beyond debate. Conservatives silenced on social media? The right-leaning President of the United States booted off of social media platforms? Crickets. A sexually explicit book gets removed from a school library's shelf? Book banning! And, as if often the case, that means the Left will go to rhetorical war to defend radical, antisemitic rants. Expect more of the same following Bob Vylan's shocking performance at this weekend's Glastonbury Festival. Bob Vylan at Glastonbury got
James Woods’ Sebastian Stark operated under three simple rules. One: Trial is war. Second place is death. Two: Truth is relative. Pick one that works. Three: In a jury trial, there are only 12 opinions that matter. Yours is not one of them. Sounds like a man born to thrive amongst the sludge that is the D.C. swamp. Stark was the central figure of CBS’ “Shark,” a 2006-2008 legal procedural that gave the chameleon-like actor a shot at leading man TV status. World famous courtroom sketch artist Mona Shafer Edwards appeared as herself in my series, SHARK. She’s a wonderful
Gina Carano's fight with Disney isn't going away. Nor should it. The Mouse House canned Carano in 2021 after she posted a plea for tolerance by comparing today's political climate to the early days of Nazi Germany. Critics interpreted her post as antisemitic. So did Disney brass. Carano was no longer part of the company's celebrated 'Star Wars' series 'The Mandalorian.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKKuAvedYiw&t=2173s The disagreement is currently working its way through the courts, but the heart of the story remains relevant. Can a studio fire an actor for 'inappropriate' social media posts? And what if other employees share more incendiary messages without
It's hard to get one cringe-worthy Stephen Colbert image out of our minds. Remember how the regime comic danced along with musical syringes during the COVID-19 pandemic? Humiliating barely describes it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSkFyNVtNh8 He may have exceeded that moment this week. Colbert pounced and seized on a wobbly CNN story the far-Left network swiftly walked back. The report claimed President Donald Trump's targeted bombing of purported Iranian nuclear sites earlier this month did little damage. The report omitted the critical term, 'low confidence,' hoping to turn a Pentagon leak into a 'gotcha' against President Trump. Sound familiar? It didn't take long
Quick, what was your favorite scene from 'History of the World, Part II?' Don't have one? Never saw it? Wasn't even aware such a project existed? You're not alone. Hulu's ill-fated attempt to revive Mel Brooks' 1981 comedy didn't rock the culture. Reviewers were mostly kind, but the streaming series came and went without much fuss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jok7jfOUUxI Blame a crowded marketplace or the fact that it's hard to duplicate Brooks' brand of silliness even when he served as an executive producer on the miniseries. Looking back, it was funnier to leave a film like 'History of the World, Part I'
Arnold Schwarzenegger became a star between 'Terminator' (1984) and 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' (1991). So director James Cameron shrewdly turned his killing machine character into an antihero. Director Gerard Johnstone did something similar with 'M3GAN.' The 2023 smash followed a creepy A.I robot who turns on humanity. Chaos ensued, AKA a glorious crush of horror-comedy thrills. 'M3GAN 2.0' recasts the killer 'bot as humanity's best defense against an even more lethal threat. The big difference between the franchises? 'Terminator 2' remains one of the best sequels ever made. 'M3GAN 2.0' works best as a cautionary tale. Some movies don't require
Nick Offerman's Ron Swanson character on 'Parks & Recreation' mattered on two levels. His Libertarian screeds countered Leslie Knope's wide-eyed liberalism. That gave audiences a rare, positive portrayal of a small-government voice. And, deep down, Ron cared about his friends and co-workers. Deeply. Now, imagine if Offerman's GIF machine leaned so far into his anti-government shtick he couldn't produce a driver's license during a traffic stop. That's where Offerman lands in 'Sovereign,' a depressing tale of a true believer at odds with reality. The tragic part? He's a loving parent to a teen caught up in dad's mania. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0sLYojjgqw Jerry
Rachel Zegler needed medication to deal with the fallout from Disney's 'Snow White' debacle. That might not have been necessary if she hadn't insulted the IP years before the film hit theaters. Even worse? Zegler said the cruelest thing possible to the 77 million people who voted for President Donald Trump last year. The actress hoped Trump voters 'never knew peace.' That massive group, in turn, likely looked the other way when 'Snow White' hit theaters in March. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86FyYciEHvg She's far from alone in isolating and insulting MAGA Nation. Yes, Hollywood stars routinely slam President Trump. They've done variations of that ever
Andrew Schulz is disrupting the Legacy Media in real time. The rogue comic's work, be it on stage or with his podcasts ('Flagrant,' 'Brilliant Idiots'), undermines what biased reporters share. President Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, reporters claim. Schulz argues otherwise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8_tbETGuTs Schulz, along with so-called 'podcast bros' like Tim Dillon, Theo Von and Joe Rogan, gave Team Trump plenty of attention via their respective podcasts. And we all know who won last November. Now, Schulz is opening up to The New York Times on a host of issues. He's a self-proclaimed Democrat who voted for Trump, for
It's no accident rebel comics like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Andrew Schulz and Tim Dillon appeared pro-Trump during the 2024 election cycle. Comedians had been censored across the media landscape in the Age of Biden. Their jokes got nuked on social media. Their sets sparked cancelation campaigns. The Left's message was clear: Watch what you joke about ... or else. Sadly, Democrats no longer fight for free speech. Two recent examples? Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former President Barack Obama are both pushing for government censorship. “We're going to have to figure out how we reign in the media” The Democratic
Horror movies slice and dice a good portion of their casts. Audiences expect nothing less. Some victims are so annoying, childish or arrogant that crowds cheer on their fate. It's not cruel, just cathartic. Heck, it's just a movie. 'Wake Up' leans into that trope, and then some. Like 'The Green Inferno' before it, the victims here are rock-ribbed progressives who are far from sympathetic. It's hard to know who to root for in this intermittently sharp horror satire, and that's part of the fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spMtApMBA8U Six self-important radicals infiltrate an IKEA-style superstore at closing time. They wear animal masks
'The White Lotus' served up plenty of shocking moments in its third season. Guest star Sam Rockwell's sexually-charged monologue comes to mind. So does the brother-to-brother buss between co-stars Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwQRkOK5KC4 Perhaps the most outrageous sequence? A 40-something woman, played by Leslie Bibb, confesses she voted for Donald Trump to her presumably liberal friends. The sequence must have been challenging for co-star Carrie Coon. She played Laurie, part of a galpal trio including Bibb's character and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan). Why? It turns out the talented Coon suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome in real life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Q0Vd_nT7s The
Tom Hanks won a Best Actor Oscar for 'Philadelphia' but later suggested he shouldn't have tackled a role where he played a gay man. “Let’s address ‘Could a straight man do what I did in Philadelphia now?’” said Hanks. “No, and rightly so. The whole point of Philadelphia was don’t be afraid. One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy.” Hanks was far from alone. Remember how Scarlett Johansson
If you spent the better part of two years telling the same lie on television you might be shamed into silence. Or, you'd explain why you spread the lie and promise it won't happen again. Not Stephen Colbert. The Useful Idiot pushed the Russian collusion hoax for months on end during President Donald Trump's first term. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaHwlSTqA7s&t=212s When the hoax collapsed in real time Colbert never bothered to apologize or backpedal. Nor did CBS brass coax him to do anything of the kind. Then again, CBS-owned Showtime produced a two-part miniseries pretending the hoax actually happened. The Legacy Media, in
It's hard to believe zombies were all but dead before Danny Boyle shocked them back to life. The director's '28 Days Later' may have used a 'rage virus' to do the trick in 2002, but it was enough to remind us why these ghouls matter. And boy were those flesh-eating creeps fast. Now, nearly two decades after that film's sequel, Boyle is back with '28 Years Later.' The math may be fuzzy, but there's nothing bland about this gut-wrenching update. '28 Years Later' is a coming-of-age film about life, death and survival. Oh, and you'll spend an inordinate amount of
It's hard to believe 'The Blair Witch Project' stormed Hollywood 26 years ago. The indie film rode the early Internet wave and became one of the most profitable films in modern times. The movie fueled endless 'found footage' copycats, allowing directors to bring their visions to the screen at an uber-low price point. That's what the lead character has in mind in 'Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project.' The low-budget satire pokes gentle fun at wannabe Spielbergs, mining yuks from the indie film ranks. It's frothy and fun until supernatural events swamp the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHYFT6J4amQ Young, ambitious Chase
Whoopi Goldberg is the unofficial leader of TV's dumbest show. The Oscar winner presides over 'The View,' a daily mashup of hate, misinformation and wide-eyed conspiracy theories, all in the name of female empowerment. And Goldberg is often the worst offender. This week, the 'Color Purple' star battled her co-hosts in a race to the intellectual bottom. Goldberg, who previously suggested President Donald Trump would separate interracial families, staked out even crazier territory regarding news from Iran. The tyrannical country is under attack from Israel, and the subject is one of the hottest topics on talk shows, podcasts and social
You'd think Hollywood studios would have rushed to clone 'Top Gun: Maverick' after it crushed the competition in 2022. Wrong. It took that film's director, Joseph Kosinski, to do the honors. Once again we get an older, battle-tested soul locking horns with a Gen Z rival. He once stood atop his profession, but now he's desperate for one last chance at redemption. There's even a love interest who might just make our hero a better man. Brad Pitt's 'F1®' echoes the 2022 smash in ways large and small. It's a shame it comes up short, but what's left is an
Brian Grazer's Hollywood bona fides speak for themselves. 'Splash' 'Friday Night Lights' 'Apollo 13' 'A Beautiful Mind' 'Arrested Development' 'Parenthood' The producer's decades-long partnership with Ron Howard alone made him a critical cog in Hollywood's machinery. Grazer spent those years digging deep for Democratic causes, becoming one of the industry's highest-profile progressive donors. Until last year. Brian Grazer Voted for Trump, Admitting It Felt Like 'Getting Canceled' https://t.co/OPF29cHu8z — The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) June 6, 2025 Grazer's decision couldn't possibly be connected to President Trump's policies, the sorry state of the union or the anemic Biden/Harris ticket, according to Puck
'May the Schwartz be with you.' That phrase caught on in the '80s as Mel Brooks' 'Spaceballs' skewered the 'Star Wars' franchise. It didn't hit as hard as 'Young Frankenstein,' and the satire couldn't measure up to 'Blazing Saddles' or 'The Producers.' Still, Brooks scored again with his silly spoof, at least enough to snag a sequel ... 40 years later. Thankfully, a 98-year-old Brooks is alive, well and eager to bring the wise Yogurt back to movie screens in 2027. He'll join returning stars Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsK-KPi_w3w It's hardly the first delayed sequel, although its predecessors
Bill Maher broke bread with President Donald Trump but never stopped skewering the world leader. The host of 'Real Time with Bill Maher' and 'Club Random' angered some of the Left for dining with the real estate mogul in April. Fellow comedian Larry David insinuated Maher was a Nazi for that simple act. The liberal Maher refused to back down, sharing some honest thoughts about the dinner with his flock. The friendly exchange didn't deter Maher from mocking Trump on his dual platforms. He put a similar test to his newest 'Club Random' guest, actor Sean Penn. The results were
Boy George really wanted to hurt J.K. Rowling. He really wanted to make her cry. Instead, the 'Harry Potter' author fired back at the pop star's social media attack, and it's likely he'll go quiet moving forward. Punch a bully in the nose and that's often what happens next. Boy George mocked Rowling on X after she insisted a trans activist explain what right has been taken away from the trans community. She elaborated on her argument via X: When ‘persecution’ is redefined to mean ‘not being allowed to reorganise society based on unfalsifiable feelings, to compel everyone else’s speech
Jean-Luc Godard’s “King Lear” (1987) has been rescued by The Criterion Collection. The home video distribution company cleaned up the out-of-print art film and returned it to the public in an ideal new edition. Of the many Godard works, it's easily one of his weirdest. The adaptation has an extraordinary backstory as fascinating as the film itself. The short version: Godard famously signed a contract on a napkin at the Cannes Film Festival with Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus to make a film based on William Shakespeare’s “King Lear” for Cannon Films. Coming from Godard, one of the fathers of
Andrew Klavan's screenwriting career took off in the 2000s. The celebrated novelist enjoyed steady work, finding his name up on the big screen with films like 'Don't Say a Word' (2001), 'One Missed Call' (2008) and Clint Eastwood's 'True Crime' (1999). He also got paid for other writing-related Hollywood gigs, even when a story didn't reach the big screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THZsoBHDRfI And then he dared to speak his mind about politics from a right-leaning perspective. “Of course my phone pretty much stopped ringing … It was a substantial hit to my income to lose,” he told the Leadership Program of the
George Clooney is everywhere—onstage, onscreen, at Biden fundraisers, in Sudanese war zones and conveniently, at the crossroads where Hollywood, globalism, and U.S. foreign policy always seem to meet. Most people see the smile. The charm. The tailored suits and the polite outrage. But look again. Strip away the applause and the Armani, and what you’re left with isn’t a leading man. It’s a middleman—specifically, a middleman for power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M8qyok42xo The phrase “deep state” has been distorted by overuse, becoming a cartoonish utterance. Forget the caricature. A deep state asset is, at its core, someone unelected yet profoundly influential. Someone who
It's easy to be a woke celebrity. Just recite the progressive playbook and reap the rewards. Fawning media coverage Possible boost in employment And, most importantly, no one to press you on your beliefs The latter is the most important part. The stars routinely share progressive views without having to defend them. They do so during press interviews, on social media and, in recent years, via awards show galas. Did anyone ask Leonardo Di Caprio about his eco-hypocrisy during this 2016 Climate Change screed? Of course not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpyrefzvTpI Legacy Media outlets refuse to fact check stars' progressive opinions, even when
There's always room for rom-coms that don't insult our intelligence. 'Materialists' leans on the dramatic side, but there are enough laughs to merit its inclusion. It's also smart, sharp and sophisticated in the realities of romance. Director Celine Song's follow-up to the terrific 'Past Lives' is burdened by a seriously rushed sequence and an ending that feels too much like the formula deconstructed by the rest of the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_kmjtsJ7c A never better Dakota Johnson stars as Lucy, a seasoned matchmaker who knows all the boxes that must be checked before love can bloom. Looks. Height. Income. Fitness. Her love
Katy Perry 'kissed a girl' when it was cool, edgy and different. The singer's 2008 debut became a sensation, and a new pop starlet is born. Now? The 40-year-old Perry can't buy good press. Her recent 'astronaut' stint got heckled across the pop culture landscape. Even fellow celebrities took pot shots at the trip. “What’s the point?” Munn said while co-hosting TODAY With Jenna & Friends on April 3. “Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think it’s a bit gluttonous. ... Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are
They never learn. Five years ago, late-night 'satirists' like John Oliver and Seth Meyers did all they could to downplay the rampant destruction tied to the BLM protests. Here's how NBC's 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' covered up the relentless Portland riots following George Floyd's March 2020 death. “Our government used graffiti to justify sending secret police to an American city to abduct protesters in unmarked vans without telling them who they are, where they’re going or why they’re being arrested ... What they’re actually doing is even worse. They’re snatching peaceful protesters off the street. They’re kidnapping people and
Jason Bateman isn't an official part of The Hollywood Resistance. The 'Ozark' and 'Arrested Development' star talks comedy, Hollywood and more on his popular 'Smartless' podcast alongside Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. Dig through the web and you'll find some Bateman comments that reflect his liberal views. He's hardly among the more outspoken celebrities when it comes to politics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HSOJ7lAUVY So it's surprising to see the Emmy winner drag MAGA voters, even as he admitted that doing so represents the 'third rail' of celebrity politics. Media superstar Megyn Kelly shared a shocking snippet from low-rated MSNBC host Nicole Wallace's new
There's nothing funny about an elderly person struggling with stairs. For four-plus years, those unofficial rules were lifted for one reason. The elderly U.S. president and his administration consistently lied about his physical and mental fitness. And, sadly, President Joe Biden struggled with stairs as well as flat surfaces. He wasn't well, but both the Legacy Media and Democrats shouted otherwise. Rebel comedians seized on Biden's fragile state, knowing that to do so would let the public know the truth behind the presidential lies. It was darn near patriotic and admittedly comical in a dark, depressing way. Stephen Colbert, an
'Seinfeld' wasn't 'Seinfeld' out of the gate. The iconic sitcom, which began as 'The Seinfeld Chronicles,' needed a few episodes before the show's ensemble clicked into place. 'Modern Family' found its stellar groove in episode two. The ribald Netflix comedy 'Tires' labored through six installments last year, proving fitfully funny but little more. Season two is different. Better. Sharper. Must-see territory. You'll even catch a major movie star 'crashing' one episode. And it starts with the 'Saturday Night Live' castoff who is becoming far more than a rebel comic for hire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMJckZFOli4 Valley Forge Automotive Center is basking in something
