Hollywood in Toto with Christian Toto

Most Hollywood news sites either ignore or malign readers who crave more freedom, less regulation, and a smaller government footprint. You won’t find that at Hollywood in Toto. Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, film critic, and podcaster with more than 20 years of experience covering Hollywood. Toto is a Rotten Tomatoes certified reviewer and belongs to both the Critics’ Choice Association and the Denver Film Critics Society. Most importantly? He loves movies. What he doesn’t love is how both Hollywood and the media can’t stop trashing people that don't agree with their point of view. AKA Conservatives. Toto has worked in media long enough to know the vast majority of entertainment coverage leans to the left. And it’s getting even more imbalanced. That’s why he created Hollywood in Toto in 2014 – to give fellow conservatives a place where they can discover the latest news and reviews without insults. HiT also cheers when Hollywood gets it right, no pun intended (this time). Stars giving ’til it hurts. Movies celebrating freedom and liberty. Actors using their platforms for unabashedly good causes.
