Idol Chatter

Billy Graham, one of the most influential evangelicals in history, is finally due for the big screen treatment. Variety reports that an independent film production has begun shooting the bio pic in Tennessee. Without any sex scandals or other juicy scandals in Graham’s past, it looks like the film will focus primarily on his early…

I’m a recently born fan of the HBO show “Big Love,” now in its third season, which focuses on a polygamous (they are very careful not to say “Mormon”) family in Utah. The twist is that the family–husband, three wives, a bunch of kids–live together and share a backyard and bank accounts within a non-polygamous…

Just recently, I wrote about how “Men In Trees” (starring Anne Heche) has quite a few interesting “religion” plotlines going this season, including one about a Christian pastor, Eric, who loses his Elmo church congregation because he’s unmarried and in a relationship with Sara, the former town prostitute–even though they’re practicing chastity. With the support…

We at Burn or Burn are always working hard to come up with good fire-related puns to attach to our recommendations (or disses) of today’s faith-minded albums, and we’d like to thank the Mountain Goats for making this one easy: there’s fire all over the place on the album; plus, you know, heretics. So let…

The Beliefnet Film Awards may be over, but we still thought you might be interested in checking out some of the winning films and performances. We have four sets of DVDs to give away—which each include a copy of “Amazing Grace,” “Into the Wild,” “Into Great Silence,” and “For the Bible Tells Me So.” Want…

There’s an interesting discussion going on in the Beliefnet community that ties to a movie I admit I haven’t seen, “The Bucket List.” The idea is to challenge yourself to think about what is on your own personal “bucket list.” What are the things you would most like to accomplish before you die? I’ve been…

If many Americans actually pull up Charlton Heston’s face-wigged visage when they think of Moses, it’s worth noting that Time magazine considered Heston “ludicrously miscast” as the biblical patriach in Cecil B. DeMille’s epic “Ten Commandments.” The hammy, melodramatic style of Hollywood’s big-budget midcentury heyday obscures the fact that Heston, who starred in some of…

If you’re a dance music fan, you may remember Jenny Burton from her days in C-Bank, the band behind the 80s freestyle hit, “One More Shot,” which topped the dance music charts. Burton also found success soon afterwards as a solo artist with her hit “Bad Habits.” After that, Burton redefined herself as an inspirational…

The latest sample of yoga in advertising is this new Mac Ad, in which the “PC” seems frozen in either cobra or the beginnings of upward dog–flattened on what looks like a jute and rubber yoga mat. The teacher, played by the amazing Judy Greer, loses her yoga-cool to the extent that the PC considers…

You know all those stories that came out about two weeks ago about how March Madness reduces productivity at American companies and that with CBS streaming the games free online will cost corporate America some $4 billion dollars? Well, that’ll be nothing compare with the legion of SciFi fans who tune in to the early…
