Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian – Movie Review
While Walden Media, the production company with the magic touch when it comes to adapting children’s fantasy classics for the big screen, had great success with the first Narnia movie, they don’t have the same knack for making sequels. Prince Caspian (the fourth book in the C.S. Lewis series, but second movie) is an obvious…
Iron Man – Movie Review
This summer is going to be jam-packed with comic-book super-heroes on the big screen, and the first one out of the secret hideout is Iron Man.

Forbidden Kingdom – Movie Review
Finally, the long-awaited showdown between kung-fu movie masters Jet Li and Jackie Chan! For many lovers of the genre, that’s what Forbidden Kingdom is all about (Don’t worry, I won’t tell you who wins).

Idol Worship?
American Idol performs Shout to the Lord but I have to say, I’m pretty ambivalent about it. I love this song. It’s one of my favourite worship songs, so it’s nice to hear it being performed (even if they substitute “Shepherd” for “Jesus” — does that make it less religious? less Christian? not really). But,…

Have you checked out Madonna’s latest video for 4 Minutes (a song from her upcoming album, Hard Candy)? Here’s a link to the video on YouTube. I have always been a fan, so I wanted to find out what new material from the Material Girl was going to be like. It’s a catchy-enough song, but…
10 reasons why NBC will be awesome
NBC was the first of the big networks to show its cards at its upfront presentations (that’s when networks tell advertisers what shows they’re going to be scheduling next season). There’s already been a lot of buzz about NBCs plans, and frankly, I join in the excitement. Here’s 10 reasons why: 1. 52-week scheduling —…
Battlestar Lives On
With the writers’ strike and other tv-business concerns rearing their discouraging heads, it sounded like the BSG prequel series Caprica was not going to go ahead. However, now SciFi Channel in the US have announced that there will be a two-hour potential pilot for the series. Yay! According to Hollywood Reporter this show was one…
