Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher and Charlotte Gainsbourg have already been cast. 20th Century Fox has dated the sequel for June 24, 2016 — nearly 20 years after the original.
“Survivor’s Remorse” star Usher was cast earlier this month in the lead role, playing the son of Will Smith’s Steven Hiller character from “Independence Day.” Smi
For young Ed McCree, enslaved on a thousand-acre Georgia cotton plantation, Christmas and New Year’s Day 150 years ago were like none he’d ever known. After time off for Christmas and feasts with young pigs, cattle, and peaches (still summer-sweet because they were packed in wheat straw and cottonseed that kept them fresh), New Year’s Day typically meant that McCree would be again forced to carry buckets of water to the men and women working in the fields.

The Equalizer, an update of the 1980s TV drama with Washington as a cinematic vigilante, took out the competition with a $35 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates from ticket sales firm Rentrak.

He grew up in a dysfunctional family and bounced through the foster care system, an unlikely background for someone destined to lead an evangelical family-equipping organization. But that’s just where Jim Daly finds himself today, as the President and CEO of Focus on the Family. Daly’s first book, Finding Home, detailed his difficult childho |
 Marvin Olasky Don’t go inside when he drops the ball. My Mother’s Day column last year—the May 18 one about honoring an ornery mom—must have struck a nerve, judging by the many letters I received. Some readers asked, What about your dad? It looks as if lots of guys on Father’s Day have a hard time obeying God’s command to honor our fathers. One reason is that many of us retain grievances. The quirky 1989 baseball movie “Field of Dreams” gets to me because my dad and I never played catch, no |

There is a disturbing trend developing in First Amendment jurisprudence; especially in the area of church and state separation.
