I’ll Be Hip for Hanukkah
By

The New York Times catches up with Hanukkah hipsters in its Style section today. The reporter attends a bash in a trendy Manhattan nightclub thrown by Jewcy, a group that promotes Jewish cultural awareness among young Jews, and cites it as evidence that Judaism is experiencing “a Jewish hipster moment,” kicked off by Adam Sandler’s…
Kristin Chenoweth: Singing Her Own Tune
By
kris rasmussen
My vote for most annoying Christmas commercial this season should go to Old Navy for its latest cheesy ad campaign featuring “the gifties”–a mock award show highlighting various Old Navy products. However, I can’t bring myself to mock these commercials too much for one big reason: Old Navy was smart enough to hire Kristin Chenoweth…
Forbidden Love that Lasts a Lifetime
By
donna freitas
It was the buzz about Oscar-worthy performances by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal and a likely Best Picture nomination that got me in the door to see Brokeback Mountain, latest film by Ang Lee (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon“). Based on a short story by Annie Proulx, I was curious to see how these two young…
Narnian End Times
By
burb
The “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” has gone wide without a cultural apocalypse. Narnia, it turns out, is pretty ambiguous theologically, and the next few books in Lewis’s “Chronicles of Narnia” series are vaguer still. Two sequels hence, in “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” Eustace’s transformation into and from a dragon rates…
Nip/Tuck Delivers
By
ellen leventry
Nip/Tuck delivered early Christmas gifts this year, both figuratively and literally. The usually sordid plastic surgery doc-opera revealed a more spiritual side in last night’s episode–while still managing to keep the “ick” factor high. Mrs. Kringle–one half of a Santa-and-Mrs.-Claus team–comes into the doctors’ office to get a little liposuction before the big mall season.…
Get Her Some Christian Cosmetics This Christmas!
By
donna freitas
Not sure what to get your honey this holiday season? If you’re looking for something faithful yet fun, how about some Christian body cream or Christian bubble bath? This is what entrepeneurs Zachary and Stacey Adams offer through their company Trinity Cosmetics, a Christian cosmetics company that offers “a divinely inspired beauty collection that is…
Richard Pryor, Profane But Profound
By

I was saddened to hear that Richard Pryor died. Most moral leaders would hardly say that the comedian lived an exemplary life, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have inspiring moments. He made me laugh and had a way about him that made him pleasant to watch. He seemed authentic, whether in a live stage…
Thank a Solider Week
By

While most of us will enjoy a nice, safe, holiday season with our family and friends, many of the men and women in the armed forces won’t be, especially those serving abroad. With this in mind, Townhall.com has started Thank a Solider Week (December 19-25), which encourages Americans to “stop for a moment and give…
Live from Nashville: The Golden Wardrobes
By
kris rasmussen
As I promised in my earlier report from the Nashville premiere of “Chronicles of Narnia,” I’d like to pass along snippets of conversations I had with various contemporary Christian music artists who attended the event. Durring the long, long trip home (after two days stranded in the Nashville airport), I came up with a better…
That Other New Movie: All Wardrobe, No Lion
By
doug howe
You’ve probably heard about an important movie with spiritual implications that’s based on a best-selling novel and made an impressive opening this past weekend. Only this one didn’t have anything to do with lions or witches, though wardrobe was front-and-center. “Memoirs of a Geisha” features a Chinese actress playing a Japanese character in an American…
