I’m a movie buff. Always have been, always will be. My dad and my uncle Sargon used to take me to movies when I was a kid, and I was hooked. Going to the movies with my dad and uncle was the highlight of my week.

And Hollywood was a dream factory that delivered incredible stories week after week. I fell in love with tough guys like John Wayne, Charles Bronson, and Burt Reynolds. I giggled at the Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy, and Eddie Murphy. I swooned over femme fatales like Liz Taylor, Kim Novak, and Meg Ryan.

I carried my love for movies into adulthood. Well into my late forties, I always found great Hollywood movies to satiate my addiction to great stories, and the great men and women who brought them to life.

Until about 2012.

Woke ideology began to infect movie making. And Hollywood movies became less about the story, than about appeasing the politically correct nags that insisted movies adhere to the wokist, culturally fascist agenda. Sure, there were still some great movies being made, and some movie makers that had the courage to push back. But every year, there were fewer and fewer of these, and fewer still men and women in Hollywood with the courage to buck the Cancel Cult. As a result, most movies coming out of Hollywood have become utterably unwatchable.

The result has been declining Hollywood box office, as the majority of actual moviegoing Americans hated the crap that Hollywood was dishing out, no matter how many times they shouted that it was a gourmet meal.

The good news is that the marketplace, like nature, abhors a vacuum. And there have been many independent movies made with traditional and Christian themes, that do not adhere to wokist orthodoxy. Actors like Kirk Cameron and Kevin Sorbo have been very successful in making very watchable movies with great storylines. While this community and movement is still dwarfed by Hollywood, it is growing fast.

The latest entrant into traditional, non-wokist moviemaking is conservative media company The Daily Wire, led by Ben Shapiro. They have declared that they will be making a series of traditionally themed movies with strong storytelling at their core.  They have invested money in top-notch production values, and have managed to attract great actors, directors and producers to work with them.

Gin Carano, who the Cancel Cult managed to get fired by Disney, has signed on to produce and star on her own movie with The Daily Wire.

The Daily Wire’s first film is called Run. Hide. Fight. It is the story of a young teenage high school senior whose school is taken over by 4 nihilistic active shooters, and her fight to save her fellow students from certain death, and defeat the bad guys. Isabel May of Netflix’s Alexa & Katie stars as the main protagonist, 17 year old Zoe Hull.  Thomas Jane of the movie The Punisher stars as her father, ex-military man Todd Hull. Zoe is struggling with coming to terms with her mother’s death, and is bitter and angry at the world. All of this becomes moot when the 4 nutcases take over the school and begin shooting people, once of who dies in Zoe’s arms.

I am not going to give away any more details, because I don’t want to spoil the story for you. But it’s a taut, edge-of-your-seat thriller, well-directed by Kyle Rankin. I was riveted for the entire length of the movie, which doesn’t happen much anymore. The story is great, and the ending is brilliant and surprising. Zoe is a strong woman, but she is the antithesis of woke, and that makes her refreshingly relatable.

And all the wokist reviewers hated the movie and trashed it, which is the best endorsement a good movie can get. You can watch the movie by subscribing to the Daily Wire, at www.dailywire.com. They are offering 25% off their regular fee by using the code GINA.

It’s a movie worth watching. And traditional movie makers are worth supporting. Please do both.
