2011-07-31 02:15:00 Lee Pace fans will be ecstatic about the latest news surrounding the actor’s involvement in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’. Get the details here with the low down on where else Pace will be showing his talented face next.

Movie Review - The Lincoln Lawyer
2011-03-25 06:12:00 BY ROBERT HAMMERLE, guest contributor to HammervisionNEWS FLASH! Matthew McConaughey can actually act! REPEAT! Matthew McConaughey, particularly when liberated from co-starring with the woeful Kate Hudson, can actually act! Okay, Okay, so I am being a bit melodramatic. But having watched "The Lincoln Lawyer," it is gratifying to see what Mr. McConaughey can actually accomplish when he once again gets to work with a nuanced screenplay. Unfortunately, most movie fans today have long ago forgotten the promise McConaughey demonstrated in such enjoyable films as "Lone Star" (1996); "A Time to Kill" (1996); "Contact" (1997); "Amistad" (1997) and the very underrated Sci-fi gem "Reign of Fire" (2002). Poised for not only stardom but critical recognition as a genuine talent, he then decided to do such trashy films as...

New Book Drags Abe Lincoln's Race Ideas Back Up
2011-03-06 23:23:00 -By Warner Todd Huston No president's views of race relations have elicited more spirited conversation than Abe Lincoln's and his complex views are again the subject of conjecture. A new book about Lincoln's ideas on sending America's negro population to another country, a policy called "colonization," has been penned by a researcher at George Mason University showing that Lincoln pursued the policy long after other researchers said he had dropped the idea. The argument has raged for decades over just what our 16th president thought about black people. Did he hate them or love them, did he respect them or dismiss them, did he think they were equals to whites or inferior? Did he care if they were enslaved or...
