I’m a fan of apocalyptic movies–especially ones with zombies. Check out the trailer to the upcoming horror/comedy “Zombieland” starring Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin, and, according to Imdb.com, Bill Murray as a zombie.The film releases October 9, 2009.

I’ll admit, after being a regular viewer, I’ve missed the last two episodes of “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” I’m starting to get sick of watching them play out their marriage drama on TV, not to mention the fact that every episode seems to be an advertisement for another show–Kate recently visited Charm City Cakes–the…

Finding salvation, redemption, forgiveness–HBO’s second season of the vampire-centric “True Blood” seems to be dripping with these themes in its premiere episode last Sunday, “Nothing But the Blood.” Of course, the forms of salvation, etc., may vary. Jason Stackhouse, Sookie’s brother and resident philanderer of Bon Temps, is reforming his ways and he’s turned to…

When news that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant at 16 first broke back in December 2007, I suggested that Ms. Spears turn it into a teaching moment and film a reality spotlighting the hardships of being a teen mother. Well, it’s been a long gestation period, but MTV has taken the idea and run with…

If you’re setting a film or television program in New York City, and are casting background actors, you’re probably going to need a few good men…specifically, Hasidic Jews. These ultra-Orthodox Jews are part of the NY landscape, and–from television shows like “Law & Order” to movies like “Ghostbusters” and “Men In Black,” just to name…

Talk shows as well as the blogosphere were a flutter yesterday with several juicy D-list Christians on reality shows doing some pretty stupid stuff. I don’t relish in their individual shortcomings, as much as I am encouraged that maybe this is the teensiest beginning of the fall of reality TV as a genre. Heidi Montag…

If there’s one thing that’s threatening to the Orthodox Jewish community–aside from assimilation, intermarriage, single Jews marrying later and having fewer kids, women’s singing voices, etc.–it’s the internet. The internet can provide lots of information, but there’s lots of immodest content out there– celebrity gossip, immodest fashions, access to non-Orthodox-approved Jewish and secular content, and…

If you are at all active in the national American Muslim community, or if you have paid attention in the least bit to the myriad of issues Muslim-Americans have struggled with since the tragedy of 9/11, then you’ve heard of Asra Nomani–activist, Muslim feminist, the “bad girl of Islam” as dubbed by the media. Why…

TNT sells itself as the network that “knows drama,” but it’s now branching out into melodrama with a new “unscripted drama” (read: reality show) called “Wedding Day,” in which deserving couples get their dream walk down the aisle. I’m not sure why the network that has brought us quality scripted shows such as “The Closer”…

Christian rockers The Wrecking are under consideration to have their song “Our Feet Don’t Touch the Ground” used in the upcoming Twilight movie “New Moon.” Joanne Brokaw over at Gospel Soundcheck, an admitted fan of the band, has details on how to vote to get the band’s song into the movie. What other songs do…
