I am pleased to announce that Hollywood Jesus will be providing special coverage of the Harry Potter series in conjunction with the release of the last two movies... later this month and in July of 2012.

 White Christmas: Holiday Edition
Like A Surprise Gift
Jacob Sahms
New on DVD. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye brought cheer to a little Vermont bed and breakfast in 1954 but a re-packaged (and special feature spouting) version appears like a surprise gift for someone underneath the tree.
