Thanks to our friends at Mixed Multitudes for the heads up about the latest site in the ever-burgeoning Jewish web world: JewTube.com. Yes, our very own YouTube. The site gets points for being clean and uncluttered, though the there doesn’t seem to be any way to find any information about a video before clicking to…

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Flight? Heat vision? The ability to shoot spiderwebs out of your wrists? And then there are the myriad accessories, gadgets and cool rides that go along with being a superhero: cool boots, the Batmobile, tights … and of course a Star of David paddle that…

There are few things one can count on in life other than death, taxes, and the fact that people will be dressed as stormtroopers at San Diego Comic-Con. But now we can add the bastion of pop-culture punditry known as “The Simpsons” to that list. Reuters reports that a ten-minute clip of “The Simpsons Movie”…

Like many in the nation this week, I took advantage of the gloomy fourth of July weather and headed into the dry confines of the local cineplex to take in “Transformers.” My expectations were mixed: Many renderings of favorite cartoons on the big screen have been less than stellar (“He-Man,” “The Flintstones”), but coming from…

Harry Potter mania began long ago–or, rather, never stopped–and while I am not personally a Potter fanatic, I am married to one and work with several others, so it’s impossible not to be caught up in the predictions, analyses, and anxieties swirling in the Pottersphere in anticipation of July 21 release of the final book,…

If you have ever watched a really awful tv sitcom, watched Robin Williams do stand-up comedy or, if you are old enough, even watched Robin Williams in a bad sitcom, then I feel safe in telling you that you can skip watching “License to Wed” because you’ve already seen it.The premise of a young engaged…

Singer Mary Donnelly Haskell has performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the pre-inaugural gala for President George W. Bush, and aboard the presidential yacht, Sequoia. The president certainly likes her music. And if you’re a fan of hymns done the old way, you’ll like Haskell too, especially her latest CD, “Power of the…

Long before Stephen Colbert coined the word “truthiness,” filmmaker Michael Moore perfected, if not invented, the concept and changed documentary filmmaking forever with movies like “Roger and Me” and “Bowling for Columbine.” In both films, as well as the now infamous and somewhat prophetic “Fahrenheit 9/11,” he cleverly edited footage and manipulated facts to narrate…

Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt write chick lit with a twist: all their novels are retellings of Biblical stories. Their first, “Emily Ever After” was the story of Esther, and their second, “Consider Lilly” was the story of Samson and Delilah. Both are wonderfully fun and, in addition to religion, have the romance, fashion, crazy…

I’ve been meaning to blog about the CW’s new summer series “Hidden Palms“–which, yes, is totally trashy, almost a cross between “Desperate Housewives” and “One Tree Hill”–but I got addicted to it from the word go. The thing is, it’s season finale is tomorrow! This caught me off guard. I even went to the website…
