Idol Chatter

This just in: churchgoers know a bad movie when they see it. After furiously pandering to evangelical Christians in recent years, the major Hollywood studios are backing away from faith-based marketing schemes that offer churches private screenings and Bible study guides based on a movie’s characters or themes. The reason cited was simple: they don’t…

Okay, I’m going to take a minute to gush like a teenaged girl right now: Kirk Cameron, a.k.a. Mike Seaver from “Growing Pains,” that family-friendly television series that we all loved to watch during the ’80’s, has written a spiritual memoir about life on the set to give his side of the somewhat controversial stories…

Since I am not a big follower of the ever-increasing amount of Christian worship music available, I may never have stumbled across Tommy Walker’s music if it hadn’t been for my time in Los Angeles in the ’90s where every evangelical–of any denomination–knew his name. That’s because Walker has been the worship leader at L.A.’s…

The New York Times Home section runs every Thursday and occasionally they run a “Living Together” column. This week’s is more of a human (and spiritual) interest story than a story about interior design. In “Making Their Own Limits in a Spiritual Partnership,” Leslie Kaufman explores the living arrangements of “Michael Roach and Christie McNally,…

Revealing the true geek that I am, I must admit I’m always hoping that one day someone will make a truly great movie about the art form and rhetorical skills of debate. The teen comedy “Rocket Science” wasn’t it and “The Great Debaters” isn’t quite it either, but it is a powerful civil rights story…

In a television season stymied by the writers strike, “Reaper” emerged as a rare critical hit for The CW. “Reaper”‘s blend of comedy and demonology has echoes of cult hit, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” But despite rave reviews, “Reaper” remained on the bubble for renewal until this week. So, what makes the show so tough…

Don’t get me wrong, “Prince Caspian,” the second of Disney’s movie remakes of C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia novels is pure fun, an old-fashioned tale of a wicked uncle who usurps a throne, only to be overthrown by his goodly nephew—Caspian himself, with the help of talking animals and some swashbuckling strangers. Director Andrew Adamson…

“SHOCK! Geri Halliwell ‘rewrites the Bible’,” shrieked the headline accompanying a report in yesterday’s Now Magazine. “How terribly intersting,” I thought, “A member of the biggest-selling female UK group of all time taking on the best-selling book of all time.” But, alas Halliwell, a.k.a. Ginger Spice, wasn’t creating a GPV Bible (Girl Power Version), but…

Who knew a Narnian prince was a triple threat? Before he landed his first Hollywood lead role, actor Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian in the new “Narnia” movie sequel) was singing and dancing in a British boy band called Hyrise. Performing the mildly racy song “Leading Me On,” Hyrise competed to represent the UK in 2004…

“Prince Caspian,” the sequel to 2005’s “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,” hits theaters Friday, May 16th, and to celebrate we have three books to give away—”The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” (movie tie-in edition). One of these books, the grand prize, is autographed by Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian, as well as…
