450 of Hollywood’s Jewish Community Denounce Jonathan Glazer’s Speech at the Oscars
This is certainly not something you see every day in Hollywood. Actual courage. It hardly ever happens that people put their names on the line to stand up for what they believe in. They aren't revoking Glazer's Oscar or anything like that. He isn't being "canceled." Glazer's speech angered many people, not just showbiz people either. Videos and social media posts cropped up on...

After a couple of days, when we run out of suggestions, I'll turn our...
Civil War – “Least Woke Since American Sniper”
I was dreading Alex Garland's Civil War, I'm not gonna lie. I was dreading it because the collective fear on the Left about their imaginary villains on the Right makes me nervous every day. I'm not scared of the Right because I have spent time getting to know them. I have seen things from their point of view. I have humanized them, yes, even Donald Trump. I am having a hard time remembering what it used to be like to be traumatized and afraid all the time, like Stephen King, Barbra Streisand, Stephen Colbert, etc. It's all a blur. The...
Reframe: Scarface
Scarface, Brian De Palma’s nearly three-hour reach for epic-level greatness is seldom talked about as an actual film anymore. The movie (and particularly Al Pacino’s no-holds barred performance as gangster Tony Montana) have drifted so far into iconography that the quality of the film itself has become secondary to its legend. And it’s one hell of a legend at this point. De Palma’s remake of Howard Hawks’ 1932 accepted classic starring Paul Muni has been adopted by hip-hop stars (see Scarface of the Geto Boys, Nas, Jay-Z, Biggy, the list is endless) and scores of athletes as a source of...
