How Two Actors Didn’t Commit Sexism on Vine (Video)

Last updated on: April 18, 2015 at 3:44 pm By Kate O'Hare

In a world peopled by politically correct types worrying a great deal about everybody’s feelings about everything, satire sometimes gets lost. In late March, Los Angeles-based Catholic actors Kaiser Johnson and Jennifer Milani dressed up in ’20s garb to shoot a promotional video for an historic property for sale in Coronado, California, near San Diego (that video is at the bottom of this post). While in costume, they decided to shoot some short videos for the Web, using the Vine app, which... Read more

‘Pulp Fiction’ — Catholic Morality Play?

Last updated on: April 14, 2015 at 9:05 am By Kate O'Hare

My pal, partner-in-crime in unmasking bad Vatican translations, businessman and foodie Joe Garcia announced to me the other day that he was making the case that Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 crime thriller “Pulp Fiction” is a deeply Catholic film (leaving aside the fact that he apparently rewrote Scripture). I didn’t really get a lot of specifically Catholic stuff from “Pulp Fiction,” but on the other hand, “Die Hard” is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies, so everybody’s got a different...

‘Gotham’: Is Milo Ventimiglia’s Villainous Ogre ‘Evil’?

Last updated on: April 13, 2015 at 10:35 am By Kate O'Hare

Last week, I got on a conference call with other reporters to talk to actor Milo Ventimiglia (“Mob City,” “Heroes”) about his new multi-episode arc on the Fox drama “Gotham,” set in the DC Comics “Batman” universe, when Bruce Wayne is still a boy (David Mazouz) and Commissioner Gordon is still just Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie). “Gotham” returns tonight, April 13, for its final run of episodes with “Beast of Prey,” in which Gordon and partner Harvey Bullock (a tortured...

‘Turn’: Owain Yeoman on Playing Washington’s Judas, Benedict Arnold (Video)

Last updated on: April 13, 2015 at 7:10 am By Kate O'Hare

We’ve all just walked through the Passion narrative between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, and part of that is Jesus’ betrayal by Judas Iscariot, one of the 12. You can argue his reasons — love of Rome, hatred of Rome, self-hatred, greed, desire for revolution, whatever — but what we do know is he took the 3o pieces of silver and then threw them, and his life, away. Was he repentant? Only Judas and God knew for sure, since the... Read more

Hallmark’s ‘Home & Family’ Has a ‘Clean House’ Reunion

Last updated on: April 12, 2015 at 10:21 pm By Kate O'Hare

On Friday, I dropped by the house/set for Hallmark Channel’s daily talk/magazine show “Home & Family,” at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, with hosts Cristina Ferrare and Mark Steines, to catch up with some old friends — the cast of one of my favorite, and most-missed shows, “Clean House.” Airing from 2003-2011 on the now-defunct Style Network, “Clean House” came to a cluttered home, helped the residents part with their excess junk, sold it at a yard sale and then helped...

‘A.D. The Bible Continues’: The Men Who Made Disciples of All Nations

Last updated on: April 12, 2015 at 4:35 pm By Kate O'Hare

Over at CatholicVote today, I have some comments from actors Adam Levy and Babou Ceesay, who play the Apostles Peter and John, respectively, in NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues,” which airs it second episode tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT (following an 8 p.m. ET/PT repeat of the first episode).

Last updated on: April 10, 2015 at 1:30 am By Kate O'Hare

Claire Temple: “… On top of that, he can take an unbelievable amount of punishment without one damn complaint.” Matt Murdock/Daredevil: “That last part’s the Catholicism.” From “Marvel’s Daredevil” on Netflix On Friday, April 10, streaming service Netflix premieres its 13-part adaptation of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” based on the comic-book character.
