Family Film — FREE? Google Play’s ‘All Creatures Big and Small’

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 9:46 am By Kate O'Hare

If you’re a parent who can’t bear the thought of paying for tickets, popcorn and parking — along with trying to keep wiggly little ones in theater seats for almost an hour and a half — just to see a family film, streaming service Google Play has your back. Yesterday, July 1, and until July 28, an HD version of the computer-animated, Bible-based film “All Creatures Big and Small” is available to stream for free, if you just click here. (I’m...

Trump Lines up REELZ as New Suitor for Miss USA Pageant

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 9:44 am By Kate O'Hare

That didn’t take long. The Miss USA Pageant, sponsored the Miss Universe Organization, co-owned by business mogul and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, was booted off both Spanish-language network Univision and its sister company, NBC, in the wake of Trump’s un-PC remarks about the criminal element present among illegal immigrants crossing the border into the U.S. from Mexico. NBC also said it wouldn’t air the related Miss Universe pageant, and cut ties in general with Trump, host and executive producer of... Read more

Variety Summit Sees Hollywood as a ‘Mission Field’ for Christians (Part 2)

Last updated on: July 2, 2015 at 5:07 am By Kate O'Hare

Last Thursday, July 25, Variety co-sponsored (with PR firm Rogers & Cowan) a day-long meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, called Purpose: The Family Entertainment & Faith-Based Summit. Click here to see part one of my interview with one of the organizers, Variety managing editor Kirstin Wilder, a Christian from Nebraska and longtime magazine staffer. (In the interests of full disclosure, I freelance for the venerable trade publication, founded in 1905, which covers the business of show in Hollywood... Read more

5 Reasons Why ‘American Ninja Warrior’ Is Catholic

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 10:19 pm By Kate O'Hare

Airing on NBC and Esquire, “American Ninja Warrior” sends competitors through grueling obstacle courses on the way to the ultimate course in Las Vegas — which no man nor woman has yet been able to conquer. For three California nights recently — two at Venice Beach, and one in front of the USS Iowa in Long Beach — I watched dozens of hopefuls tackle two different versions of the “ANW” course, under the watchful eyes of hosts Matt Iseman (below;...

50 (More) Shades of Schadenfreude

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 10:10 pm By Kate O'Hare

When the movie version of the — let’s not be kind about it — “mommy porn” book “50 Shades of Grey” came out, the press junket was an unmitigated disaster. The gossip site Defamer enjoyed it immensely, and so did I, in a post for CatholicVote called “50 Shades of Schadenfreude.” Here’s a bit from Defamer: Let’s undertake a thought experiment. Imagine that—rather than paper and ink—each of those books were composed of: a look of unabashed contempt; a single embittered... Read more

Justin Bieber: You Are Not What Others Paint You to Be (Video)

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 10:09 pm By Kate O'Hare

Grace comes via surprising channels. Apparently chastened pop star Justin Bieber has just released a new video, a collaboration with producers Skrillex and Diplo. Frames of Bieber were posted as photo stills at the Seventh Letter Gallery in Los Angeles, and fans and attendees at an event were invited to paint and draw over them. From a story at The Verge: There are phone numbers, Twitter handles, and “I love you Justin”s to be found in its untold thousands of... Read more

The Mass: FSSP Father Fryar Explains It All to You (Video)

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 10:08 pm By Kate O'Hare

Everything’s so much better when you understand it. Taped last week in a schoolyard adjacent to St. Victor Church, between Santa Monica Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, FSSP priest Father James Fryar — the FSSP (Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri, or the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter) offers the Tridentine or Latin Mass daily at St. Victor and sporadically at other L.A.-area parishes — goes through the theology of the Mass. First of a planned series of talks. Enjoy:... Read more

Variety’s Purpose to Celebrate Faith & Family Programming (Part 1)

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 11:28 pm By Kate O'Hare

You might think that Hollywood is wholly devoid of people of faith, and that journalism as a profession is entirely hostile to Christianity. But you’d be wrong on both points. On Thursday, June 25, the venerable trade publication Variety –– for which I freelance, but I didn’t cover this Summit for it — is sponsoring Purpose: Family Entertainment + Faith-Based Summit, in association with the PR firm Rogers & Cowan, at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills. It’s the fourth year of... Read more

What HBO’s ‘Ballers’ Has to Teach Us All

Last updated on: June 22, 2015 at 6:47 pm By Kate O'Hare

This day comes for everyone, but for some, it arrives in the blink of an eye. On Sunday, June 21, HBO premiered its latest half-hour show (I hesitate to say “comedy,” because while there were humorous bits, it wasn’t played for laughs), called “Ballers.” Described as “Entourage” in the NFL — and sharing the same producer, former wild child and now devout Catholic Mark Wahlberg — “Ballers” stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Spencer Strassmore, who was a star linebacker...
