CD Giveaway - Phil Wickham, "Cannons"
Ends Aug 3, 2010
With an opening shot that hits the sonic pinnacle, this collection of spiritual Brit pop/rock is heavily influenced by Keane, Travis, Coldplay, and U2.
Joanie and Jade sniff each other out, Danielle nearly dies and no one notices, and Furonda's nerves have her acting crazy. It's just another week on "America's Next Top Model."
If there is a film to contend with at this year's Oscars, it's "Walk the Line." Why? If you chalk it up to the lack of competition, you'd be doing both yourself and this film a grave disservice.
Pulling All-Nighters doesn't necessarily secure a win this week as the teams sacrifice some zzzs in a desire to make it to the final 4. Find out who scores the slam dunk and who gets annihalated exteriorally and interiorally.
Teams compete to market a new Sony Playstation game using a little graffiti art and a boardroom firing results in a promising candidate getting the boot.
After looking up, down, front, and back, I still couldn't make "Sideways" a film worthy of all the critical acclaim it's received. Simply put, it's one of the year's worst films.
Once again Wes Anderson proves relentless in his quest for the quirkiest movie to hit the big screen in a while... But does Bill Murray have the prerequisite mojo to carry it off?
Are you as disappointed as I am in Trump's choice or did that live finale simply leave a queasy feeling in your stomach from all the stroking of the winner's ego?
I should have stuck to my guns and my initial prediction for this week's outcome. When will I learn that winning isn't everything? And where's Chris Webber when you need him? MIA, no doubt.
Why do we become pathetic creatures when we fall in love? Mike Nichols probes this eternal question in his latest film and in doing so, opens up a whole new can of worms.
Are you ready to take it to the Edge? If not, no worries. There's always next week for Trump to redeem himself from the boardroom snafu that had me running for the Kleenex.
Liam Neeson and Laura Linney play a couple who fight to revolutionize attitudes toward human sexuality in the US in the latest Bill Condon creation. Should you run to the theater to see it? My advice: Walk briskly and take time to study the gall wasps first.
You may not have to be on the other side of the world to be on the front line, but using this slogan in advertising campaigns is a sure fire way of insuring that you end up in front of Trump's firing squad. When was the last time you thought about that?
Trump makes another terrible decision, casting off yet another qualified candidate. As there are only 13 candidates left and the women's team is a wash, this leaves 7 men on the roster. Oh what a tangled web Trump and Carolyn have weaved.
Bill Rancic is back, but brace yourself cause Carolyn's favorite boy is all grown up now and the dynamic duo pack some powerful punches in the boardroom.
Teams compete to create some buzz around a new toothpaste, but the real buzz comes in the boardroom as one candidate is put on the chopping block and suffers a very harsh and unprecedented punishment at that hands of her teammates.

Once upon a time there was a very curious girl who fell down a rabbit hole. Find out what happens when said girl uses a telescope to propel her to the moon and beyond.
In a film as lackluster as lukewarm coffee (sans cigarettes), Bill Murray and Alfred Molina still manage to secure some laughs, thus elevating an otherwise bleak feature into mediocrity.
Between some Hell "Raising" and contemplating the profundity of Devo's "Whip It," comes a mediocre movie with a magical cast and marginal plot. If you like Kate Hudson, it's a must see. If not, stay at home and watch the season finale of "Friends" like I should have done.
Every show has a follow-up episode. While we wait for the cast of the 1st season of The Apprentice to reconvene (which is sure to happen when NBC's ratings plummet in the Summer), Beth gives her thoughts on the legacy they left us with.
The race to the end heats up with Kwame and Bill. Which will the Don prefer? Kwame's kick back style or Bill's bossiness? Time and a whole lot of money will tell.
VersaCorp is once again touched by a last-minute angel insuring the team yet another win for the world's tackiest pair, Nick & Amy. Who will be fired in this week's episode? The man we all love to watch and were hoping would win this thing. And it's not Bill.
Don't bother playing it again Sam. The most romantic love story to hit the big screen in years stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in a quirky film about love, loss, and new beginnings. If I sound all romantic and sappy, wait till you read my review.
Down to 6, the teams go gambling for high stakes in Atlantic City. Will luck be a lady or will another fine lass find her luck has run out? And find out who makes the most dramatic entrance ever to be made into a casino. I'll give you one hint: I'm not talking Wayne Newton here.

This week the teams go high-brow and infiltrate NYC's art world. Will the evil O get her comeuppance or will we have to endure yet another week of crazed antics and excuses. Plaster, my arse! And that wasn't a request.
In the spirit of Capitalism, Trump has the teams competing to sell his holy water. How will Mel Gibson react? I don't know, but that's irrelevant anyways.
Real estate moguls these teams ain’t. How will Protégé and VersaCorp measure up in penetrating the brutal NYC rental scene? Which team won’t make the cut this week?
The game got down n’dirty in the final hours. Find out which fiery redhead stayed on top, who hung himself with his own “Danger”ous cape, and which Freak got his freak on and stole the show.
Protégé and VersaCorp go battling for $$ in the name of charity and good will. How will the “Fab 5” react to their solicitation, what is up with Carson Daly’s ego, and does Russell Simmons ever smile? I can’t promise to answer all these questions, but read on anyways.
Mark Curry finally loses his mind to the Mole and morphs into Dr. Danger in the series’ final elimination round. And the American Cancer Society calls and tells Amhad it wants all its cigars back pronto. And all this- Just in time for the hearing impaired to start making a stink about the usage of gratuitous subtitles…
The Don makes an executive decision and does a little corporate reshuffling. With the women on their side, will the men finally score a win? It’s the Freaks vs. Greeks in this week’s competition.
Kwame Jackson’s Jets Rival The Shooter Girls in this week’s face-off. Will the men finally BOWL us all over or will the womens’ SUPER hot luck project them further into the stratosphere?
The cast-offs come back for some well sought-out revenge and things turn pretty nasty. And finally, the group learns a very valuable life lesson: Never mix tequila, worms, and finger paint. They will not bring you any closer to figuring out who the mole is.
They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death…We’ve all heard this famous line, now let’s get up close and personal with one of the film’s stars.
In last week’s closer, Jason, the young real estate mogul from Detroit was FIRED. How will the gang react to this news? Can they endure any more of Sammy’s pesky antics? And will the men ultimately sacrifice one of their own to get ahead? Take the 8-mile challenge and see for yourself.
With Corbin in the hot seat last week, does fellow “Mole: Hawaii” cast-mate Stephen Baldwin stand a chance of making it to the next round? Or will he take cues from his nemesis, Corbin, and go all loco? And finally, how much $$ would I pay to never have to hear a host utter: ”In the most dramatic elimination round ever…” again?
We were all slightly stunned on the first episode of “The Apprentice” as 31-year-old brainy Doc/Venture Capitalist David Gould became the first Trump casualty. The questionable decision not only stumped Trump himself, but had us hurting as well. Why sacrifice a smart, likeable, veritable hotty??? Was he just too damn irresistible for his own good or possibly too sane for reality TV?
This week’s project has Teams VersaCorp and Protégé duking it out over an advertising deal. Will the gals’ cattiness prevent them from winning or will their sizzle make them once again trip the light fantastic? Can the guys boost their morale after losing one of their own last week and rise to the occasion?
This week’s elimination round has Tracey and Corbin contemplating who will be next to go. Have we seen enough of Corbin to say our final farewells? And if Tracey is the next to go, why do nice girls always have to finish last?
After being bombarded with overly hyped previews for this show for the past two months, my mind was begging the question: Can Donald Trump motivate us to watch yet another NBC reality TV show? The answer is in this week’s segment…You be the judge.
TV’s most underrated reality show gets underway with Stephen Baldwin and Corbin Bernsen, our dynamic duo from last season, providing all the entertainment necessary to keep this show interesting… But what prompted them to come back for a second season and more importantly is one of them the mole?
Julia teaches some personal "Stile" to her pupils, including the impressive Ms. Stiles. Newcomer Ginnifer Goodwin shines as the token “homely” chic and Kirsten Dunst is wonderfully complex in a film directed by the man who made us all fall in love with “Harry Potter.” Unfortunately “Mona Lisa Smile” leaves us all pondering why love is never as sweet the second time around.
‘A little ditty about Jack & Diane’ goes a long way in “Something’s Gotta give.” Unfortunately, the convoluted path meanders and leaves us emotionally and mentally constipated. Fortunately, Keaton and Nicholson are there to pick up the pieces…
Lovely Linda’s “Love” Letters, A Major “Cat”astrophe, and another season of “Joe Millionaire” ends in fairy-tale-like fashion making me question if there really is a Santa.
With Olinda out will Beth be able to muster enough cattiness to fill a column’s worth of dish? An unexpected twist has David’s head spinning and utterly baffled as to what the meaning of good companion truly is. And in FOX’s most drawn-out elimination round of the century, did David make an irreversible slip-up?
In "Lost in Translation," Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson prove a formidable duo evocative of Hollywood’s yesteryear, the likes of Bogie & Bacall with a twist of Keaton, and a variation on a theme of Tokyo.
"Collusion" drives director Richard Burridge’s sexy and suspenseful foray into the illusive, high-brow world of the London art scene.

"Collusion" undoubtedly deceives but Burridge’s talent for filmmaking is 100% genuine.
Haunting, gritty, and very "real," novice director Catherine Hardwicke delivers a shockingly poignant gem in Sundance’s coming-of-age teenage drama “Thirteen” proving that luck is all in the eye of the beholder.
