The CW’s ‘The Flash’ Earns Christophers Kudos

Last updated on: April 9, 2015 at 5:39 pm By Kate O'Hare

Although I’m more of a Marvel Comics girl — watch this space for my review of Netflix’s “Marvel’s Daredevil,” premiering tomorrow — but thanks to a couple of Catholic friends who insisted we watch it together, I’ve become a fan of The CW’s adaptation of the DC Comics character “The Flash.” In the drama, which airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Grant Gustin stars as Barry Allen, a boy who lost his mother to a mysterious force, which he described as...

Nicole Kidman’s ‘Grace of Monaco’ Debuts on Lifetime, Not in Theaters

Last updated on: April 8, 2015 at 9:49 am By Kate O'Hare

The attempt by one Catholic woman to bring the life of another to the big screen has been derailed by, well, you name it. Originally, the film was supposed to come out at during the 2013 Christmas season, but, not so much. From Variety: Nicole Kidman’s troubled Grace Kelly biopic “Grace of Monaco” is skipping a theatrical release and will be airing on Lifetime on May 25, the network announced on Tuesday. The drama opened the Cannes Film Festival in May to mostly... Read more

PBS’ ‘Twice Born’: A Mother’s Inspiring Story of Fetal-Surgery Success

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 9:29 pm By Kate O'Hare

Sadly, some doctors end unborn children’s lives, but it’s heartening to know that there are many more doctors out there dedicated to saving children’s lives even before they’re born. On Tuesday, March 31, PBS premiered the three-part documentary series “Twice Born: Stories from the Special Delivery Unit” — as outlined here in an earlier post from Pax Culturati — which profiles several sets of moms and dads dealing with the rollercoaster of emotions that happens when their unborn children must undergo...

‘A.D.’ and ‘Ten Commandments’ Score in Easter Sunday Ratings

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 3:36 pm By Kate O'Hare

From TVLine.com: The premiere of NBC’s A.D. The Bible Continues on Sunday drew 9.5 million total viewers and a 2.3 demo rating, topping all broadcast competition in both measures. That marks the Peacock network’s highest-rated drama debut sans a Voice lead-in since The Cape in January 2011. And even though it’s from 1956, “The Ten Commandments” saw an uptick in the ratings (yet another reason it’s epic, along with the 10 I wrote about here earlier today). Also from TVLine … ABC |The Ten Commandments (6.8 mil/1.4) was up 19 and... Read more

Is PBS’ ‘Wolf Hall’ Anti-Catholic? (UPDATED)

Last updated on: April 7, 2015 at 9:05 am By Kate O'Hare

The U.K.-produced historical drama “Wolf Hall” premiered on Easter Sunday, April 5, on PBS’ “Masterpiece.” One has to wonder if PBS’ scheduling was coincidental, or if the network meant to make some point about religion. Based on novels by Hilary Mantel, “Wolf Hall” focuses on Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance), an English lawyer who served Henry VIII (Damian Lewis, in a genius bit of casting), whose desire to divorce himself from Catherine of Aragon ultimately split what is now the Church of...

10 Reasons Why ‘The Ten Commandments’ Is Truly Epic

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 10:43 am By Kate O'Hare

These days, when Hollywood attempts a Biblical epic for the big screen, the results are as likely to be embarrassing as edifying. Rather than rehashing the shortcomings of “Noah” (“Galaxy Quest” called, and they want their rock people back) or “Exodus: Gods and Kings” (nothing like God as a sulky kid), let’s look at one time when the movie stars truly aligned. A few years before his death, Cecil B. DeMille made the 1956 Old Testament drama “The Ten Commandments”... Read more

‘Killing Jesus’ & ‘A.D.’ — Where Was Barabbas?

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 10:33 pm By Kate O'Hare

During this Holy Week, we’ve had competing versions of the trial and Crucifixion of Jesus — NatGeo Channel’s “Killing Jesus” (which repeated on Good Friday and on Easter Sunday, April 5, on Fox News Channel), and the Easter premiere of NBC’s 12-part “A.D.’: The Bible Continues.” As I outlined in my review of “Killing Jesus,” it takes out all the supernatural parts of the story of Christ, supposedly focusing on the sociopolitical forces surrounding Christ’s ministry and death. “A.D.,” produced...

The Easter Cross in the Sky at Sunrise in California

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 4:23 pm By Kate O'Hare

Father Don Woznicki is doing something right. As he gave his homily at the April 5 Sunrise Easter Mass at St. Bruno Church in Whittier, California, near Los Angeles, this happened … No matter our anguish, struggles or troubles, He is always with us. And since Father Woznicki is involved with promoting the cause of the Church in Hollywood, I hope this bodes well for our ability to take our rightful place in the culture, as witnesses to Truth, Beauty and...

‘A.D.: The Bible Continues’: Whither Mother Mary?

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 10:42 am By Kate O'Hare

Among a lot of non-Catholic Christians, Mary pops up at Christmas, then is at the foot of the Cross, then pretty much disappears from the conversation. Not so in NBC’s ‘A.D.: The Bible Continues,” which premieres tonight, Easter Sunday, April 5. She won’t be around for the whole thing, but she has a vital part to play after the Crucifixion. From my other home, Catholic Vote: Italian-Australian actress Greta Scacchi plays the Virgin Mary (seen at top with Babou Ceesay,... Read more

In part one of this interview — click here for that — conducted in a quiet corner of a party at a press event in January in Pasadena, California, Argentinean actor Juan Pablo Di Pace discussed the inner process of playing Jesus in the 12-episode series “A.D.: The Bible Continues” (premiering Easter Sunday, April 5 on NBC at 9 p.m. ET/PT), and the role his mother played in that … including attending the shooting of the Crucifixion. Here, Di Pace... Read more
