Idol Chatter

People have been predicting the end of the world since, well, the beginning of it.

My new book “Apocalypse How” encourages…

In my quest to unearth hidden movie gems this summer season, I have stumbled across a heist movie I have heard little about. In fact, heist movies aren’t really my thing, but “Flawless” out on DVD this week, is an excellent old-fashioned period mystery with a tiny bit of social commentary slipped in for good…

I think the most profound revelation about the response to the current Indy flick is that we have all gotten older and our…

Actor Stephen Baldwin lives on the skinniest edge in Hollywood. Though he has a recognizably significant movie to his credit (“The Usual Suspects“), these days he’s more often associated with the slacker classic “BioDome.” He’s even more famous, however, for being the little brother of Alec. As a Christian, his evangelical standing is propped precariously…

The truth be told, I was never a big fan of “Sex and the City” when it was on the air—at least not until the last season— and always felt like I was so tragically un-hip for not getting what the fuss was about. However, I still went to see the “Sex and the City”…
