Conservative Movie of the Year: Kubo and the Two Strings

Conservatives often complain that Hollywood makes no Conservative films, and when they do, we either don’t notice, or we let them bomb. The first Atlas Shrugged was good. It bombed. The two sequels lacked the budget to be good as a result. In Kubo and the Two Strings, we have an even bigger cinematic tragedy, because here is a great movie, one that is surprisingly Conservative and without beating you over the head with it, and it tanked, badly.

Attack on our Intelligence

   I’m sitting in theater seat E10, my wife next to me, my brother and his wife in the seats ahead of us. We’re not big anime fans, yet Attack on Titan looks promising, so we are willing to enter a theater surrounded by Otaku, a scene I normally would not be a part of. Not that there is anything wrong with Otaku, they’re pretty cool, but I am just not that into anime, with some exceptions.

The Secret Politics of Ferris Bueller

One of the things I like about Ferris Bueller’s day off is that I never knew it had a political message. Ever. I always interpreted the story as being really innocent, and don’t get me wrong… it is. However, in interviews with co-star Ben Stein, a Keynesian Republican (yes they exist), revealed that Ferris Bueller did have an underlying message. Now we may not agree with Stein on taxes, and general economic theory, however, the man has been rock solid on social and religious issues, so his commentaries add immense insight into the film’s message.
