Last week people were reckoning that the new raunchy comedy Rough Night would revolutionize Hollywood. After all the movie, which stars Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell and Zoe Kravitz, is the first R-rated comedy in almost 20 years to be directed by a woman (Lucia Aniello, best known for directing Broad City). So its success counted for a good deal. But that was then. Rough Night has wound up commercially comatose, taking just $8.1 million from over 3,000 movie theaters over the weekend at the U.S. box office. The movie, about a bachelorette party in Miami that spirals out...

After six seasons and increasing popularity among conservative viewers who appreciated star Tim Allen’s truthful depiction of today’s political climate, ABC canceled the highly-rated family sitcom Last Man Standing in May. According to a report in the liberal-leaning Heatstreet, “Many therefore suspect the decision was made partly because Allen, the star of , is a high-profile conservative and plays a right-of-center character on the show. In the weeks prior to the cancellation, Allen had attended Donald Trump’s inauguration and described the feeling of being on the political right: ‘You get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody else believes....

Last year, while visiting national parks in Colorado, I happened upon a real treat: Star Drive In, an outdoor theater that opened in 1955 in the southern part of the state. But my delight didn’t end there. Next door, I found the Best Western Movie Manor Hotel, where you can look out a big window and watch the Star’s outdoor screen … from your bed! Each room is named for a movie star. Booking a night at the motel was a no-brainer. I checked into my no-frills Mel Gibson room and crawled into bed for the feature. According to Wheeler...

How do military leaders persuade their soldiers to fight an insane war? Here’s one way. The setting is a bitter outpost of the American war in Afghanistan. The years-long nightmare has no prospect of ending so long as American troops stay in a country that has a nearly unblemished record of grinding foreign armies to ashes. A bullish general is trying to generate a dose of enthusiasm in the hearts and minds of his unenthusiastic men. “You boys,” the general says, “are the only things that count. If it doesn’t happen here, it doesn’t happen. End of story.” “What doesn’t...
