Bruce Cockburn recalls when he first started calling himself a Christian in the early '70s: "I wasn't sure exactly what that meant at the time, so I went with the people who claimed they did."
Robin Williams has made his Broadway debut at last. This is a very good thing. The very bad thing is that he arrives in Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, a decidedly third-rate work
Jake Gyllenhaal is cheating on me. He was my first. I don't know about you, but when someone plays a character based on me in a movie, I tend to get a bit attached.
Rubber was released theatrically on April 1st. No, it's not some kind of a joke -- I've seen it, I know. It's actually a film about a tire that gains consciousness in the middle of the desert.
Playwright Rajiv Joseph is a talent, but has yet to find the rich emotional vein that will allow him to combine his obvious skill with insight and heart.
After everything you've been through -- a stint in jail, five trips to rehab, and now a new trial for alleged necklace-stealing -- has absolutely NOTHING gotten through your stubborn head?
David Schwimmer's film Trust is one of the most honest, impressive films about adolescence and parenting in the Internet age that I've seen.

Born and raised in Compton, California, a city where violence, drugs, and gang activity looms, Kendrick Lamar knows what he must do to make it out. He's found his voice on the microphone.
True confession: baseball was my first love. Soon, like the American male I am, I cheated and fell hard for music. But on this shiny opening day, here's a playlist that puts my first two passions together.
Elizabeth Taylor once said in an interview that she wanted her epitaph to read, "Here lies Elizabeth. She hated being called Liz. But she lived." She sure did live -- and through her example, she showed others how to as well.
Hop's two-dimensional presentation during a year when 3D is completely overdone certainly earns the movie extra points in my book. Unfortunately, that is about the best I can say about it.
SXSW has always had plenty of coming-of-age films on offer. However, as more "adults" delay growing up, that seminal moment appears to have been postponed.
