The main reason director Francis Lawrence's "Constantine," an adaptation of the comic book series "Hellblazer," gets away with casting Hollywood's Most Overrated, Keanu Reeves, as its leading man, is the simple fact that Reeves plays a character that would be completely believable as his real-life persona. Could we see Reeves…chain smoking? Making dry yet knife-edged remarks about mental patients? Acting mildly misogynistic? I think so.
Reporters Judith Miller of the New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine are currently being held in contempt of court after refusing to testify in a federal investigation on the leaking of CIA agent Valerine Plame's identity to the press. The recent high-profile U.S. District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision forcing the two reporters to reveal their confidential sources in this case marks a continuing trend of the government to use newspapers as intelligence agencies, while giving the courts and/or Congress a chance to set a precedent for protecting news sources in the courtroom.
Booker T. Washington was born into slavery in 1856 but strived to become the well-known, educated man people see him as today. Recognized for founding Tuskegee Institute, Washington ensured that the school emphasized academics and practical areas for the advancement of uneducated blacks.
John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is a self-righteous exorcist attempting to buy his way into heaven in director Francis Lawrence's "Matrix" meets Sunday school horror flick "Constantine." Though from the previews "Constantine" may look like a demonologists' cup of tea, the film, based on the DC/Vertigo comic book "Hellblazer," would satisfy anybody looking for a remedial plot along with a satanic dose of blood, violence and gore.

On Friday, Feb. 18, Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove performed at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., on their "Directions in Music" tour. Their nearly three-hour performance was as powerful, complex and inexplicable as any music being played today.
The front door of a white house in the middle of the block is slightly ajar. Inside, the house looks empty, except for a lonely Christmas tree in the corner. It is 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 23, and the homeowners have gone on vacation with their teenage son. Little do they know that upstairs in their supposedly empty home, smoke swirls in thick clouds and eight friends of their son are lounging on their furniture, snorting OxyContin off of their CD collection.
