Idol Chatter

Why, why, oh WHY can’t “Smallville’s” boy-Superman Clark Kent finally get it together with the love of his life, Lana Lang? Is it because the small-screen Clark must live up to the DC Comics and big-screen Clark, whose long-time love is Lois Lane? Shouldn’t small-screen boy-Clark get to shake things up a bit? Apparently not.…

I’m on cloud nine this morning, and the first-round exit of the Duke Blue Devils from the NCAA tournament is the reason. But it’s more than the loss of this enemy college basketball team of mine that has me so happy–it’s that they lost to my new hometown college, Virginia Commonwealth University. Being nearly nine…

Wacky is the only way to describe “Tortilla Heaven,” this wonderful kitschy comedy film that will have a limited release starting March 16th. Isidor and his family own a restaurant called Tortilla Heaven (of course) in a tiny New Mexico town–so small it doesn’t even have a paved road leading up to it. The townspeople…

Please note that the following review concerns only the centerpiece documentary “Addiction,” which is part HBO’s multi-faceted, multi-day “The Addiction Project.” Let it be said that “The Addiction Project,” HBO’s multi-platform effort to educate the general public about the disease of addiction (it kicks off tonight at 9 p.m. ET), is an important and valiant…

If you look hard enough in the Gospels, you’ll find a Jesus that any red-blooded, pick-up truck and football lovin’ American he-man can relate to. Just flip past all the parts where Jesus heals the sick and hangs out with widows and children, or where he talks about turning the other cheek and the meek…

Just once, I would like to be able to watch a movie and not have to worry about whether I should feel guilty about enjoying it. “300“–a stylized sword-and-sandal take on the epic Battle of Thermopylae, based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name–seemed like a good opportunity. Alas, this was not the…

It’s impossible for me to think of a more oversaturated section of the contemporary Christian music market than the adult contemporary/worship genre, but John Waller–a worship leader and former member of the group “According to John”–has entered that arena with a respectable debut entitled “The Blessing.” Fans of groups like Mercy Me and singers like…

If, like most of the world, you missed last year’s limited theatrical release of “Peaceful Warrior,” fret not. Universal is giving the film a second life, releasing it in theaters again on March 30. And to promote the release, Universal is offering free tickets to opening-weekend showings, available at Best Buy store locations or online…

With “The Sopranos” and “Six Feet Under,” HBO has already rejuvenated the American television series. Can introducing the f-word, frank sex talk and better production values do the same for the “After School Special?” Set in the downtrodden projects of Brooklyn, “Life Support,” starring Queen Latifah, takes up a serious issue (living with AIDS) through…

Curly-haired Chris Sligh is one of the contestants to watch this year on American Idol. In the short time we’ve known him, he’s already managed to annoy Simon Cowell more than once, and he’s had multiple opportunities to show off his sense of humor. But there could be more to him than meets the eye.…
