Idol Chatter

Check out this clip from the upcoming Lions Gate Christian horror film, “House” based on the novel of the same name by Ted Dekker and Frank E. Peretti. The movie is about a homicidal maniac who claims to have “killed God” and holds people hostage in an old inn, threatening to kill them all unless…

Okay. I’m not sure if I can recover from seeing photos of everyone’s favorite film vampire Edward Cullen (sigh) as painter Salvador Dali. The actor, Rob Pattinson, wears a little skinny mustache for which the surrealist artist was so famous for having. I did not need to see any of those photos. They may have…

If you told me that the footage in this new trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is culled from the previous installments in the series, I would have no trouble believing you. Most of the images and bits of dialogue are so generic that a fan could have created the trailer from existing…

Those who saw it on TV hailed Kennedy as the winner. Kennedy then became the last sitting U.S. Senator to win an election until this year. Now here…

If Sarah Palin’s recent shout out to the well-liked TV comedy star who portrays her on Saturday Night Live is any indication, the VP candidate must be feeling pretty confident about her chances of serving her country. At a rally in Columbus, OH, the LA Times reported the governor saying she “had a little advice…

Sure, fundamentalists like Movieguide’s Ted Baer have long been opposed to the evils of the Harry Potter book series, but would you believe that renowned atheist RIchard Dawkins agrees with him? In fact, the author of “The God Delusion” dislikes children stories that incorporate myth of any kind–so much so that he is taking a…
