Last month former "Growing Pains" star Kirk Cameron told CNN's Piers Morgan that he believes homosexuality is “unnatural,” “detrimental,” and “ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization." Now some of the child stars of other sitcoms from the 80s and 90s, including "Out of This World," "Mr. Belvedere" and "Charles in Charge," are speaking out against Cameron in a Funny or Die skit.

DVD Tuesday: The Woodman Riseth!
After several lean years (anyone care to remember Deconstructing Harry or the laughless Hollywood Ending), Woody Allen is on a pretty good roll lately. Vicky Cristina Barcelona may be his best film since the fantastic Bullets Over Broadway. Kirk Cameron. Christian Action Star. Pride and Glory wasn't great, but it hit all the right notes of your standard cop corruption film. Colin Farrell is really back with a vengeance, though, huh? Speaking of being back, Guy Ritchie certainly seems to be right on track again with RockNRolla.
Weekend Movie Guide: Choke on this, baby!
If you're only going to see one movie this weekend, make the time to check out Choke. It's dirty. It's funny. It's got the great Sam Rockwell in it. If you are the type that is entertained by mindless tripe, however, you could probably do worse than Eagle Eye. Is it awful? Well, yes. But it is glossy. And there lots of cool (albeit spectacularly unrealistic) stunts. Are you stuck in a loveless relationship and long for the feeling of a wildly romantic chance encounter? Or did you just like ? Nights in Rodanthe might be for you.
The Western States Motel @ The Echo 3/26
My intuition is always right, except for when I was sure I would marry Kirk Cameron, but this time I’m predicting Los Angeles’s own The Western States Motel, as Indie Rock’s next darlings…or at least they should be. With beautiful harmonies, both mellow and upbeat songs, cool stage presence, and emo lyrics to boot, I don’t see how they aren’t on the cover of Filter already. They even have shaggy hair and a pretty CD...
