The film stars Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes, and was written and directed by Frank Miller.

The Oscar winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson, who most recently appeared in the big screen version of Sue Monk Kidd’s “The Secret Life of Bees,” experienced horrific tragedy this weekend, as her mother and brother were found murdered and her young nephew has gone missing (and according to reports at the time of this…

Not since “the Rachel” has a hairstyle been in such demand. Jewish bloggers have been writing about this for weeks. And politics always seems to spawn merchandising. Now the NY Post reports that in the past several weeks, a wig-shop in Brooklyn’s Borough Park (home to many ultra-Orthodox Jews) has sold about 50 “Sarah P.”…

Several days ago, while watching coverage of the election, I began reminiscing about the days of Tabitha Soren. Remember when MTV’s coverage of Presidential elections was seen as innovative and important? When Soren asked probing questions of the candidates and the “Choose or Loose” bus cris-crossed the country talking about important issues with America’s youth?…

I’m not a Bill Maher fan, nor am I really one of his detractors. His demeanor has never appealed to me, but it has also not appalled me. He pushes envelopes, and I support that within my appreciation for free speech and comedy. But I’d seen enough of the trailers for “Religulous” to know that…
