Celebrities: Trump Will Destroy the World!

4 days ago | newsbusters.org | Christian Toto

The era of the movie star ended some time ago, assuming your last name isn’t Cruise. More recently, Americans began tuning out their celebrity betters on the political front. The 2024 election saw a galaxy of stars support Vice President Kamala Harris. For every Trump-backing Zachary Levi or Hulk Hogan there were dozens of A-listers backing a leader who feared talking to Joe Rogan. The word salad spinner lost, badly, to President Donald Trump all the same.
Bill Maher: Young Democrats Heart Hamas, Not America

4 days ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

HBO’s Bill Maher is trying to stop his party from rushing off an electoral cliff. So far, it’s not working. The old-school liberal has been warning the Left about its woke embrace for several years. More recently, he’s called out Democrats for refusing to engage with their political foes. He practices what he preaches. He’s invited several high-profile conservatives on “Real Time with Bill Maher” as well as his “Club Random” podcast.
Punch It Films Brings MMA Spirit to Big Screen

“Storytelling and fighting aren’t so different. Both are about conflict, struggle, and heart.”So says actor and MMA alum Michael Bisping in a press release about his new project, Punch It Films. The studio, set to launch at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, promises efficient movie making with style (and fisticuffs).
Trump Wants To Make Hollywood Great Again - Will The Industry Listen?

5 days ago | dailywire.com | Christian Toto

One of President Donald Trump’s better qualities flies far under the radar. He doesn’t hold a grudge. That’s especially true when there’s a greater good in play. Then-candidate Trump sparred aggressively with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly during the 2016 campaign. Late last year, Kelly endorsed Trump, speaking at a MAGA rally days before the Nov. 5 election. The president once dubbed a presidential rival “Little” Marco Rubio. That politician is currently Trump’s trusted Secretary of State.
Take Two: 'Clown in a Cornfield'

5 days ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

You might do a double take during “Clown in a Cornfield’s” prologue. We watch a pair of randy teens prepare to “get it on” when a murderous clown interrupts their plans. Is this 2025 or 1985? “Clown in a Cornfield” offers some nods to slasher-film tropes, delivering a few yuks along the way. It’s not as committed to the bit as expected. That leaves a credible shocker with a likable lead and, of course, a killer clown. Some formulas are bulletproof for a reason. Right, Art?
Why New Trump Biopic Could Be Doomed to Fail

The 2024 film “The Apprentice” focused on Donald Trump’s rise to power in the ’80s. The project earned oodles of unpaid media attention, two Oscar nominations and the scorn of Team Trump. THE APPRENTICE - International Trailer - Starring Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong & Maria BakalovaAll that publicity led to an embarrassing $4 million stateside haul and a global take of just $17 million. That’s a box office dud. Period. Now, a film producer wants to revisit Trump’s life.
'Nonnas' - Now, That's Italian!

6 days ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

Vince Vaughn’s motor-mouth routine made him a star. He left that shtick behind in recent years, witness atypical turns in “Arkansas,” “Brawl in Cell Block 99” and “Freaky.”Now, he’s targeting our heart strings in “Nonnas,” a Netflix original with a PG rating. Really. Turns out he’s perfectly suited for this tale of a broken-hearted son eager to make his late momma proud. You might wince a few times, but Vaughn’s assured presence keeps the story afloat.
Late-Night Lunacy Reaches Staggering New Levels

6 days ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

Stephen Colbert spent years spreading one of the worst political lies in recent memory. “The Late Show” host went all-in on the Russia Conspiracy Hoax, going so far as to call President Donald Trump the “c***holster” for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin. This Monologue Goes Out To You, Mr. PresidentThen, when the hoax dissembled in real time, he couldn’t even muster a simple, “My bad” to his corporate audience. Nothing. Rachel Maddow is even worse on this front.
'Four Seasons' – Fey and Friends Can't Find the Funny

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

Hollywood is so eager to reboot classic IPs it turned to the most sensitive man of the ’80s for inspiration. Alan Alda. The “M*A*S*H*” alum’s 1981 dramedy “The Four Seasons” isn’t on the tips of most people’s tongues today. No matter. Netflix still saw fit to hand the film’s three-couple blueprint over to Tina Fey. Quick, let’s make this a shared universe with Alda’s “Sweet Liberty!”Alas, hilarity rarely ensues.
'American Dirt's' Jeanine Cummins Gets Best Revenge Possible

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

What a difference five years makes. In 2020, author Jeanine Cummins appeared on top of the world as her novel “American Dirt” neared its release date. Both Oprah Winfrey and Stephen King sang its praises, and her publisher’s seven-figure deal confirmed her star status. “American Dirt is an extraordinary piece of work, a perfect balancing act with terror on one side and love on the other. I defy anyone to read the first seven pages of this book and not finish it.
