You may remember Chris Sligh as that guy with the super curly hair from “American Idol” Season 6, who made it to the finals. Now, he’s trying to make a name for himself as a Christian rocker (you can read more about that in our interview with him here with his new album, “Running Back…

Summertime has become a time for me to catch up on TV series I haven’t had time to watch during the rest of the year, or, in some instances, foreign TV series that I have never even heard of, or those that I have forgotten about from years past. Instead of watching a movie on…
