The American Film Institute’s “10 Top 10” show–a three hour Prime Time special earlier this week–named the top ten films in each of ten genres and will give us good discussion fodder for awhile, especially if you’re a list person, a movie buff, or a heritage person. The show itself was alright (certainly better than…

In anticipation of tomorrow’s “The Love Guru” movie release, the wise and funny main character, Guru Pitka–the “second best guru in India”–has been responding to your burning questions about life and love in the Beliefnet Community. We created a gallery with some of the best questions and answers. Check it out here.

Recently, I had the great good fortune to be invited to participate in a conference at Esalen–that famous, new age spiritual retreat (you know, the Beats hung out there, Huxley tripped there…) in Big Sur, California, perched on the rocks overlooking the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. I couldn’t believe my luck: five days of salon-style conversation…

Everyone who either has a tween or knows one also knows that Disney churns out (more or less) family-friendly pop stars (see Hannah Montana) and one-offs like “High School Musical” (and its sequel) to unbelievable success–feeding the hopes, dreams, and first crushes of many a kid in America.

First, she weighed in on the growing controversy surrounding TV therapist Dr. Drew, who claimed that Tom Cruise’s involvement in Scientology could be the result of…

What’s your favorite “Gangster” movie of all time? What’s the best romantic comedy ever made? What movie best brought sports to life on the Silver Screen? What was the best Courtroom Drama? These and other questions will be addressed–and answered in the eyes of the American Film Institute, during tonight’s three hour prime time special…

This post contains some spoilers. Fool me once, shame on you (I’m talking to you, Ang Lee), fool me twice… well; luckily that wasn’t the case. “The Incredible Hulk” asks moviegoers to forgive 2003’s “Hulk” and step into the Marvel universe with a clean slate. I did, and was pleasantly surprised. We meet Dr. David…

Next to the eternity of the afterlife, does screen immortality really count for much? Not in the view of the Roman Catholic Church, apparently. Approached by director Ron Howard and his Sony Pictures production team, the church refused to allow the director to shoot the “The DaVinci Code” prequel “Angels & Demons” in two of…
