En route, the dysfunctional duo narrowly escape from wild [...]

Contemporary gospel icon Kirk Franklin says he’s simply “very grateful” over the reception for his 11th album, “Hello Fear.”  The set, his first studio album in four years and his debut for Verity Records, is Franklin’s first album since 2002 to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 — No. 5 when it [...]

Hungarian cinema is an important cinematic movement, but sadly one that does not get enough recognition. Perhaps the greatest Hungarian filmmaker is Bela Tarr. Tarr has only made nine feature films, and with the release of his latest one has announced his retirement. I haven’t seen any of his films, but I have four of [...]

Viggo Mortensen doesn’t expect to reprise his Aragorn character in the next installments of Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” series, the actor revealed to Movies.com. The news may not surprise those familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Hobbit” novel, as Aragorn did not appear in it.  However, Mortensen told the movies blog that producer Peter Jackson [...]
