It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I don’t feel fine)

By Brian Welk · Sunday, Nov. 22,2009 6:55 p.m.

Roland Emmerich was smart to not make “2012” about religion. Everyone knows bigger box office numbers and fewer controversies come when the antagonist in an apocalypse scenario is a white, conservative politician and not God. But I imagine the whole religion thing wasn’t forgotten. It’s just the rest of the movie is so lowest common denominator, any theology would just be above this material.

‘Idol’ fans got it right

By Cory Barker · Sunday, Nov. 22,2009 4:07 p.m.

The first album for an “American Idol” victor is always difficult to manage because the swell of hype and a producers’ “vision” can conflict with artists trying to find their way.
