Hollywood in Toto

HiT is a unique entertainment news platform tailored for conservatives, dedicated to upholding and promoting pro-freedom values. I’m Christian Toto, a seasoned journalist, film critic, and podcaster with over two decades of experience in covering Hollywood. As a certified Rotten Tomatoes reviewer, I’m also a proud member of the Critics’ Choice Association and the Denver Film Critics Society. Above all, I’m passionate about movies. However, I’m frustrated by how often Hollywood and the media criticize people like us—conservatives. After years in the industry, I’ve noticed a significant bias in entertainment coverage leaning predominantly to the left, which seems to be intensifying. This realization inspired me to launch Hollywood in Toto—to create a platform where conservatives can find the latest news and reviews without facing disrespect. In essence, this site is here to support you. HiT also celebrates when Hollywood gets it right—whether it's stars giving back, films that honor freedom and liberty, or actors advocating for worthy causes. Looking for more insights? Our talented contributors, including Barry Wurst, Carl Kozlowski, Brad Slager, John A. Daly, and author C.S. Johnson, bring additional expertise and value to our readers.

Sad: Colbert Trots Out 'Very Fine People' Attack Against Trump

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

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. This Monologue Goes Out To You, Mr. PresidentWhen the hoax collapsed in real time Colbert never bothered to apologize or backpedal.
Why '28 Years Later' Is Unlike Most Sequels

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

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.
'Found Footage' Takes Affectionate Look at Micro-Indie Filmmaking

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

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.
Is This Whoopi Goldberg's Dumbest Rant Ever?

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

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.

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.
Pitt's 'F1' Brings 'Top Gun' Energy to Auto Racing

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

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.
The ONE Way 'Spaceballs 2' Can Crush Expectations

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

“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.

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.

1 week ago | hollywoodintoto.com | Christian Toto

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.
