THE AITKEN AND GEERHART HOLLYWOOD REPORT: Pete Aitken returns to Lights! Camera! Blasphemy! this month after an extensive 'deep cover' investigation of the "Hotel Detox" Hollywood 'cure.' Joining him is radio artist and crack entertainment reporter Bill Geerhart.
HALO-ed FUSS FILMS!: When I stroll my neighborhood video store aisles I usually go into a yawning fit, but the L!C!B! office was recently flooded with amazing and colorful brochures for Christian videos that knocked my socks off. Indeed, the drama, pathos, humor and horror that is missing from today's mainstream straight-to-video releases were in these mailings in spades! Buy any title from the Jeremiah Films catalogue, for example, and you can skip The X-Files for a whole month. Jeremiah has it all: The New Clinton Chronicles (it HAS been four years since the original); The Death of Vince Foster: What Really Happened; Evolution Conspiracy and many others. Our favorite, by description anyway, was The Obstruction of Justice which dramatizes the Mena airport Clinton drug conspiracy via a Hardy Boys mysteries set-up. Unlike the typical Hardy Boys story, however, the teen protagonists are brutally murdered in the first reel... American Portrait Films promises videos to "help rebuild our culture." One title they offer is MTV Examined which is something I do every Saturday night for free. But perhaps this is the film that finally explains the longevity of Kurt Loder. "All Rapped Up" is an expose on Rap music which includes a study guide. Study Guide!? Hammer would be proud, but what would Snoop say? If only we had the budget to buy ALL these flicks! REELING ABOUT: END OF DAYS UPDATE: Robin Tunney (The Craft) has been cast in the pivotal role of day care teacher Christine Bethlehem - the devil's choice for a love connection - in the supernatural Schwarzenegger thriller that we've been telling you about. Peter Hyams who directed O.J. Simpson in 1978's Capricorn One has taken over helming duties from Marcus Nispel (who left due to those notorious "artistic differences"). Production starts as I dot, dot, dot this line... Ed Harris (Milk Money) - still waiting to play John Glenn again - will co-star with Anne Heche (Steve Martin, Ellen DeGeneres) in The Third Miracle. Harris plays a priest investigator (P.I.?) sent to verify miracles performed by a woman (Heche!) nominated for sainthood. Shooting skedded to start on November 1st but don't expect a Vatican premiere... No Casting Yet, But May I Suggest Mickey Rourke: Dreamworks' Paradise Falls is set in a "noir world" of Heaven and Hell and tells the story of a fallen angel who must solve the murder of St. Peter before Paradise collapses. Paradise should be ours by 2000 AD. See you at the Drawing Room,
Pete Aitken & Bill Geerhart

THE UN-W.B.: Some folks start Neighborhood Watch programs, others volunteer to clean up graffiti, one millionaire Christian go-getter has fired up a whole broadcast TV network to better the nation! Watch out WB here comes PAX (check local listings). The net might not have an animated frog for a mascot, but they've got something BIGGER: Barnaby Jones. That's right, the milk swilling, geriatric private eye is making his triumphant return to TV - in re-runs. Joining him in the daily line-up will be Dr. Quinn, Father Dowling and the Cartwright boys. For those of you who like to live in the '90s, PAX has a few original shows in the can as well: Flipper: The New Adventure, an update of the classic feel-good '60's program; Woman's Day - something news-y for the ladies; and a patriotic infotainment gabfest called Great Day America. The mission of the network is to provide America with an alternative to all the randy and bloody programming out there on the airwaves. PAX comes to us courtesy Lowell "Bud" Paxson, the Florida-based owner of Paxson Communication Corporation. Previously Paxson gave the world the Home Shopping Network, another channel with little if any sex and violence. PAX consists of about 80 UHF stations that used to run Tony Robbins and Richard Simmons informericals around the clock. So adjust those rabbit ears, sit back and prepare to be touched by an angel.
