A new film is highlighting the story of a controversial Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after the Second World War ended and spent 29 years hiding in the jungle. Hiroo Onoda, who died in 2014 at the age of 91, was stationed on the island in the Philippines in 1944 but remained until 1974 because he did not believe the war was over. He survived by eating dried banana skins, coconuts and stolen rice, believing he was in a guerilla war for 30 years. Onoda became the last Japanese soldier to surrender – but only after his former commander,...

When a lawyer (Raymond Burr) gets his client (Angela Lansbury) acquitted of murder, he later finds out that she was really guilty. He devises his own plan for justice

Set your DVR for a real treat being shown on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) at 8:45 AM Eastern Standard Time. The 1949 RKO film The Woman in Pier 13 (originally titled I Married a Communist) dates from the period derisively called “The Red Scare” by people who pretend that communism’s threat was never anything serious, and that those who tried to alert us to it were paranoid nutjobs. As virtually every American Thinker reader already knows, the left did a brilliant job in turning Senator Joseph McCarthy into a demon, aided by his alcoholism and tendency to overstate his charges....

Left-wing Hollywood never wants you to forget about January 6 and now it has found a way make a three-hour riot live on forever. Don’t Look Up director Adam McKay will produce a feature movie dramatization of the January 6 Capitol riot, titled J6, that will be directed by Billy Ray, who wrote the screenplay, according to a report from Deadline.

The new Netflix film Don’t Look Up is a star-studded allegory about climate change. The world faces a clear and imminent threat, and the question the movie poses is: Will we be able to overcome the narrow self-interests of politicians, the business community, and individual nations to defeat the threat we collectively face? Will too many people around the world be too gullible and passive to demand the right actions from their leaders? In the case of the film, it does not give away too much to suggest that doing the right thing is a challenge. The film is not...

Former President Barack Obama has given his official seal of approval to Steven Spielberg’s woke box-office disaster West Side Story, naming it as one of his favorite movies of 2021. In what has become an annual Obama tradition, the 44th president tweeted a list of his top movies of the past year. And as usual, the list is a precisely calibrated mix of indie darlings, prestige foreign titles, and woke Hollywood fare — all seemingly designed to further ingratiate him with the elite tastemaker crowd, as if their political fealty was ever in doubt.

Full disclosure: I despise Steven Spielberg movies and dislike both Romeo and Juliet and the 1961 West Side Story (WSS) movie. For that reason, I take particular delight in noting that Steven Spielberg's remake of WSS may have enthralled critics, but no one is rushing to see it. And no wonder, given that it's so darn woke that parts of it are in a language most Americans don't speak, but Spielberg refused to include subtitles.Let me quickly get through my biases. I hate Steven Spielberg movies because I find them overblown, predictable, and incredibly boring. I also dislike the way...

A Russian actress and her director-cameraman, wrapping up a 12-day movie shoot aboard the International Space Station, returned to Earth Sunday and promptly filmed a few additional scenes that will be part of the film's conclusion. With cameras rolling, actress Julia Peresild, playing the role of a surgeon sent to the station to treat a critically ill cosmonaut, was pulled from the Soyuz descent module and carried to a nearby recliner where she pretended to be just back from her make-believe mission. Soyuz commander Oleg Novitskiy, who was wrapping up a 191-day stay in space, played the patient during shooting...

Monica Lewinsky says one of her biggest fears of having her story depicted in FX's forthcoming "American Crime Story: Impeachment," of which she serves as a producer, is that she'll be "misunderstood again." "I have anxiety about the process being week to week. That was very challenging for me with the scripts — to understand the arc of this story," Lewinsky, 48, said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday. The third season of the FX series focuses on the "overlooked dimensions" of the 1990's scandal surrounding former President Clinton's affair with the then-White House intern.

Fans of Middle-earth may not be too miffed about where Amazon Studios shoots its yet-to-be-titled The Lord of the Rings television series.

On Friday, Amazon Studios announced that it will film Season Two of its Rings series in the United Kingdom rather than New Zealand, where shooting on Season One recently wrapped.

I sense we could all use a break in life’s drama so I’m reporting on movie night. Now here at Casa MOTUS we stopped “going to the movies” as a thing sometime shortly after The Big Chill (1983). Honest. It wasn’t exactly a conscious decision. More like our lives were so over-booked that what downtime we had was too precious to spend it in a dark theatre watching some schlocky film.So gradually movie night became dinner and a movie at home. At first take-out and a video tape from the local video store (where selections were quite limited), later CDs...
