When it comes to failure, nobody does it better than Hollywood. Bigger! Bolder! Cringeworthy on steroids! We can’t look away at turkeys like “Doctor Doolittle” (1967), “Rollerball” (2002) and “Catwoman” (2004), three duds dissected in Tim Robey’s “Box Office Poison.” The book starts near the dawn of cinema and takes us all the way up …

It’s not a mystery why comedians flock to the Big Apple. New York City is home to iconic clubs like Noam Dworman’s Comedy Cellar. More than a few stand-ups have found fame and fortune via the City That Never Sleeps. That was then. Today, New York is a haven for crime, homelessness and dysfunctional government. And …

Shen Yun is a dance and music show that plays at some of the country’s most extravagant theater venues. It has toured the U.S. since at least 2011, and just released its national tour schedule for 2025.

Cancel Culture is on the run, but it’s not dead yet. In recent years artists would perform hostage-style apologies for acts that angered the social justice mob. Think Scarlett Johansson backpedaling after she accepted a role playing a trans person in a film called “Rub and Tug.” (That film project never saw the light of …

Fool Michael Rapaport once, shame on you. Fool him twice, shame on the “Atypical” alum. Last year, Rapaport apologized for believing one of the Left’s biggest lies about President Donald Trump. Both legacy media reporters and former presidents alike said Trump called White Supremacists “fine people” following a “Unite the Right” rally in 2017. Disgraced …

It all began with tears. The host “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” cried in front of a live audience the night after the Nov. 5 presidential election. Kimmel welled up after sharing a litany of fear-mongering woes tied to Donald Trump’s electoral victory. Yes, that’s the same comic who looked the other way when Team Biden silenced …

Inspirational teacher stories never get old. They still can be cloying, predictable or downright manipulative. The fact-based “Brave the Dark” dodges those pitfalls, mostly thanks to its leading men.

“Flight Risk” looks like anything but … on paper. Director Mel Gibson previously gave us “Apocalypto,” “Hacksaw Ridge” and “The Passion of the Christ.” That’s a rock-solid record in anyone’s estimation. Star Mark Wahlberg is a Hollywood veteran who knows his way around an action thriller. He appears to play against type according to early …

Who wouldn’t want Tyler Fischer on their late-night show? The actor and stand-up comic boasts a quick wit and can turn headlines into punchlines. He enlivened DailyWire+’s “Lady Ballers” and gave the platform’s “Terror on the Prairie” extra bite. And few comedians deliver spot-on impressions quite like Fischer.
