Ann Dvorak One of the things I love most about pre-code movies is how real women were portrayed. Not all of it was good, but real nonetheless.

Classic movie star, model, turned animal activist, Brigitte Bardot is on trial in France for allegedly “inciting anti-Muslim hatred.” What do I have to say about this? Socialism…you got to love it.

I remember when I first saw “The Planet of the Apes,” (1968) and the scene which impress me most. In the movie George Taylor the astronaut (Charlton Heston) lands on earth years into the future to find that man was the beast and apes were the rulers. And I remember how angry I...

OK I am going to go on a political rant…I watched the O’Reilly Factor last night, (please do not stone me) and he had a segment on how Hollywood is producing movies that are Anti-anything American. O’Reilly quoted from a letter written by Samuel Goldwyn to one of his producers on November 9, 1961… “I feel we each must execute today a higher degree of self-discipline, and self-censorship than ever before.
