Idol Chatter

One of the most interesting media stories of our generation–in terms of personal development, professional growth and spiritual relevance–has been the journey of Amy Grant. From Evangelical Christian Music Star to Pop Music Crossover Success to Country Singer to Celebrity Star Couple–she’s managed to emerge, re-emerge, and remain relevant as an inspiring force whom the…

On the “Stuff Christians Like” blog website the other day, “Prodigal” Jon Acuff tries to come up with a “Christian Secular Culture Disclaimer“–a boilerplate excuse-me phrase like “Spoiler Alert!” or NSFW (“Not safe for work”) that appears to warn Christians of rough language or sexual content before recommending a mainstream pop culture product. He fails,…

In this Hallmark Channel Original Movie, a newly retired couple, played by Treat Williams and Nancy Travis, looking forward to a trip on their boat, are asked a favor by a family friend, which changes their plans. “Safe Harbor” premieres on May 30.

I stopped writing about Christian music full-time several years ago, mainly because I became tired of using words like “fresh,” “innovative,” or “inspired” for music that often wasn’t. In fact, it is a rare occurrence these days when I feel the desire to sing an artist’s praises loudly because I am afraid other’s will miss…

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and if this is the year to stay home, I suggest you gather with those you love and watch great war movies. Here are ten of my favorite military movies of all-time which you can find on DVD. Notice, it’s not a “Best Military Movies” list, because when it…

After a day or two to reflect–and allow all you TiVO-ers to see the final show–I hope “24” will be back, though I didn’t expect to be thinking this as the show entered its final few weeks. You can watch the finale on Fox’s website. Day Seven wrapped up as more a cliffhanger than a…

So I can’t help but respond to Dena’s Idol Chatter post about the release of the “New Moon” movie poster to the press–especially since I hate it! I am Team Edward through and through, and it was one thing to suffer the Edward-Bella separation in the novel of “New Moon”–even though I do like the…

Yufuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, made an appearance on “The Colbert Report” earlier this week to promote his new album, “Roadsinger.”Apparently, the Muslim singer is going by his first name only these days as he “prefers to use only his first name to foster a more intimate relationship with listeners.”Check out…

Hugh Jackman’s latest installment of the X-Men saga may not be wowing critics, but fans are still showing his trademark character, Wolverine some love at the box office for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Maybe that’s because in real life, Jackman is a peacemaker and just wants everyone to get along. At least that’s what I gather…

“Glee” is a show built on cliches–the teacher who will do anything for the kids, the jock who’ll give up popularity to pursue his dorky dream, the talented gal who dreams of becoming a star–but the sum of its parts is anything but cliche. Ryan Murphy populates his latest creation about a dedicated Spanish teacher’s…
