Idol Chatter

Even porn star Ron Jeremy has to draw the line somewhere when it comes to sex.The aging adult film legend and wannabe actor has teamed up with Christian organization XXXChurch.com and their anti-porn mascot, Pete The Porno Puppet, to create a public service announcement stressing that porn is for consenting adults–not children. Watch the PSA…

Spoiler alert: This review hints at some plot developments in Harry Potter Book Seven, but does not reveal who lives and who dies. Reading “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” changed my life and made me want to be a better person. Seriously. I now evaluate my deeds in light of the book, comparing my…

I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing the Broadway version of “Hairspray,” but I do remember not being a big fan of the original movie by John Waters. (For some reason, it was just a little too creepy for me.) But none of that mattered as I watched the latest incarnation of the 1960’s spoof…

Last week’s “Big Love” episode, “Dating Game,” had Bill considering a fourth wife(!). More fascinating than this married man–already with three beautiful wives–courting yet another and seeking out his polygamist friends’ support about wining and dining Ana (the potential wife) sans wedding ring–was watching his third wife Marjene’s reaction. Marjene–suspicious of Bill’s unexplained disappearances–follows him…

Those who follow Chris Rice will notice he’s growing up in a lot of ways, at least if his newest album, “What a Heart is Beating For” is any indication. It’s mellow, jazzy, reflective, and indicative of, well, the kind of mid-life stuff that mid-lifers face. He is faith-based and family-friendly–but the music is not…

Or so says Holly Hunter’s hard-as-nails character Grace Hanadarko as she basks in the heavenly glow of an angel in the pilot for TNT’s newest police-with-a-twist drama “Saving Grace.” TNT isn’t kidding in its advertisements about how the show is raw and edgy and boundary-pushing. The opening scene involves full-on sex with clever camera angles,…

Until a few weeks ago, I pretty much knew what to think of Barry Bonds and his inevitable breaking of the home run record. I was on board with Michael Kress in thinking that Bonds was a great player, no doubt, but his greatness was overshadowed by his abuse of steroids. He was a cheater,…

Hollywood’s envisioning of the turbulent 60s has primarily relied on JFK, riots, Woodstock, and Vietnam as the defining images of that decade. Former “Sopranos” producer Matthew Weiner has instead dared to relentlessly and fearlessly examine every sacred cow of that era through the eyes of a group of charming, but sleazy ad execs in the…

Call it my devotion to the peculiar, but I think there’s something about a non-linear film. It challenges you to pay attention more closely–to look for clues at every turn. From Pulp Fiction to Memento, these flicks are about more than just cheap thrills; romances, elements of the supernatural, and seemingly random plot twists serve…

I’ll start by saying that I feel a sense of awe and history when imagining the moment when Barry Bonds’ 756th home run will sail over the outfield wall, sending him into the history books with the most career home runs, surpassing Hank Aaron. But unlike my colleagues David Kuo and Patton Dodd–call it their…
