Some of the women from the sect, which made headlines for having…

From the Old Testament (Yahweh) to Grimm’s Fairytales (Rumpelstiltskin), names have always carried power. And now some in the media are suggesting that the name of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s newborn daughter’s name is imbued with a similar, power–an anti-Scientology power to be precise. Naming their daughter Sunday Rose is an intentional slap in…

The sequel to the blockbuster hit, “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army” stars Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and Ron Perlman as the titular hero. Directed by “Pan’s Labyrinth” director Guillermo Del Toro, the movie looks as artistic as it is thrilling. embedVideo(1656387322);
