Critics Pan "Da Vinci Code"
Ha. The Da Vinci Code movie is boring. Rocchi was among Cannes critics who grew restless as “The Da Vinci Code” dragged on to two and a half hours, saying, “I kept thinking of the Energizer Bunny, because it kept going and going and going, and not in a good way.”

The protests are getting louder. Christians aren’t yet rioting in the street a la the Muslim cartoon jihad, but if they were, would mainstream media be more sympathetic to Christians? Meanwhile, controversy is raging worldwide. Legislators in the Philippines have petitioned for the film to be banned from that country; hundreds of protesters took to [...]

Nope, I didn’t see MI:3 this weekend. Apparently you didn’t, either. Was it because Tom Cruise is a space alien? Was it because he made a farc of marriage by dumping Mimi Rogers, then Nicole Kidman, then Penelope Cruz, then getting Kate Holmes pregnant? That he pretended to be very religious while dumping wives? That [...]

Am I boycotting the “Da Vinci Code” movie? Or am I just refusing to go see it? The nuance is hard to discern. Christians Plan Boycott of ‘Da Vinci Code’ by Robert B. Bluey Posted May 04, 2006 Christian activists are planning a boycott of the soon-to-be-released Da Vinci Code movie, which one influential pro-family [...]

I wrote last month about how I’m having trouble enjoying Hollywood movies and critiqued the latest Pink Panther movie as an example. Needless sexual entendre and poorly implemented slapstick spoiled what could have been a funny movie. The American Spectator today agrees: In addition to that first tedious scene of Clouseau trying to park a [...]

I’m having a lot of trouble enjoying movies coming out of Hollywood. I saw the new Pink Panther movie last night. Steve Martin did an acceptable job as Clousseau, and I can’t imagine any other actor that could do a better job. But Peter Sellers had the role down pat. When something went wrong, he [...]

This just in: Barry Manilow is back. I’m going to confess that I enjoyed his sappy ’70′s love songs in a confidently masculine way. I know many of his songs sounded the same, but so what. So does disco and rap. So it’s good to see him making a comeback, this time singing 50′s classics. [...]

I suppose NBC didn’t get their fill of offending Christians with the cancelled “Book of Daniel.” Their next insult comes from an upcoming “Will and Grace” show on April 13. Britney Spears will play a host on a Christian cooking show called “Cruci-fixin’s”. Britney will be the “conservative Christian” on a talk show with a [...]

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Axed because of low ratings, high criticism, and advertisers withdrawing ads. When the people most upset about the cancellation are gays and lesbians, then there’s little mystery why conservative Christians were offended. I have an idea: why not produce a Christian series that portrays Christians in a positive light? Say, [...]
