  Chuck Norris
  "One by one, we have lost the freedoms that our forefathers, our brothers in arms and my son died for," says the main character in a movie that my wife, Gena, and I have been waiting eagerly to see in theaters. It opens nationwide Friday, Sept. 14, coinciding with the Sept. 11 commemoration of Patriot Day. We are very excited to announce that "Last Ounce of Courage" is the first theatrical motion picture to be awarded with my "Chuck Norris Seal of Approval," in promotion of this independent film. ... more
• "The Hunger Games'' Bread and Circuses Thu Apr 5
  Debra J. Saunders
  It's not until the final book of "The Hunger Games" trilogy that Katniss Everdeen learns that Panem, the name of her country in the dystopian world, comes from the Latin phrase "Panem et Circenses." The phrase "bread and circuses," her mentor tells her, comes from a Roman writer who lamented that "in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power." ... more
• Whose Movie Is Propaganda? Fri Mar 30
  Brent Bozell
  It's more than a little shocking when someone makes a movie that deals harshly with abortion. This is Hollywood after all. Abortion is a feminist sacrament. The movie "October Baby" just debuted on 390 screens and registered in eighth place for the weekend, with an estimated $1.7 million gross. ... more
• Why Does the Left Despise Valor Sun Feb 26
  Kevin McCullough
  There is a pretty reliable predictor in America today. If someone says something nice about our military, the need to support them, or show demonstrative appreciation for them outright--that person is likely a person of the political and theological right. ... more
• Meryl Streep Takes on Margaret Thatcher in “The Iron Lady” Fri Jan 13
  John Hanlon
  “We shall stand on principle or we will not stand at all,” Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep) states late in the new film, “The Iron Lady.” The movie- which explores the life of the masterful former prime minister of England—attempts to show the conservative politician in both her glory and in her latter years. In doing so, it successfully portrays Thatcher’s political successes but stumbles along the way by focusing too much on her health after her tenure as prime minister. ... more

  John Hanlon
  “That was really an accident,” Mitch Albom recently called the publication of his first nonfiction book, “Tuesdays with Morrie.” At the time, the sports columnist was just trying to earn money to help pay his former professor’s medical bills. However, when the book was published, it became something more. An international sensation. It also changed Albom’s life. ... more

• Clint Eastwood Tells the Story of J. Edgar Hoover in New Biopic Fri Nov 11
  John Hanlon
  It’s difficult to dislike Clint Eastwood. He’s an excellent director and a fine actor, who is openly conservative in a town that often disdains them. Many of Eastwood’s films have avoided politics but his new film “J. Edgar” is likely to cause a political stir in its depiction of J. Edgar Hoover, the long-serving director of the FBI. ... more

  "The Ides of March," the slick new movie with George Clooney as an unethical presidential candidate, is a morality tale for our time. ... more
• Martin Sheen Leads "The Way" Fri Oct 21
  John Hanlon
  “We’re all on Daniel’s terms,” Tom (Martin Sheen) says referring to his adventure- seeking son in the new film, “The Way.” Daniel (Emilio Estevez) is a born traveler who loves to explore the world as the story begins. Unfortunately, that leads to a tragic accident and David is killed early on while taking a pilgrimage down the Camino de Santiago (“The Way of Saint James”). ... more

  John Hanlon
  “You can’t keep going the way you been going,” Lynn Childers (Michelle Monaghan) says to her husband Sam (Gerard Butler) early on in the new film, “Machine Gun Preacher.” The movie tells the true story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealer, who turned his life around and began following Christ. Directed by Marc Forster, who previously helmed “The Kite Runner” and “Monster’s Ball,” “Preacher” presents Childers as a complex man whose intentions are noble but whose actions are often controversial. ... more
