Big Love v EWTN

Here’s a firecracker from Catholic screenwriter and Pepperdine professor Barbara Nicolosi.
In an interview about Christians in the arts she says:
“The saddest realities to look at are not Hustler magazine and Big Love. Much more tragic is what you find on EWTN and CBN, because these things are devoid of creativity and devoid of respect for the audience. They are banal. They may be produced with the... READ MORE
Sandra Bullock Offers Wise Words at the Oscars

So I watched the Oscars.
I wasn’t planning to, but then there they were. And there I was. And I watched.

To my delight, however, the fellow once known for creating sordid films has experienced a... READ MORE
Academy Awards

Do you watch the Oscars?
I admit that if it were up to me, I would probably watch every minute of the way-too-long ceremony. I like the glamor, the fashion, and the up-close look at so many stars in one spot.
