Executive produced by famously Christian retired football player Tim Tebow, “Run the Race” operates differently than most faith-based productions, in the apparent hopes of reaching a younger, wider audience that may or may not be inherently interested in religious entertainment.

Directed by Chris Dowling, this is unequivocally a message-pushing drama, but one with a subtler touch and more artistic merit than many of its thematically linked predecessors.

Its kinetic opening sequence is a sharply edited series of shots following high-school quarterback Zach Truett, as he scores nearly half a dozen touchdowns on game night to get noticed by a Florida Gators scout. All of it is set to rap music and executed with unexpected cinematic flair; in fact, the movie’s first act plays as though this were a secular sports movie.

When the perfect song meets a poignant scene in a TV episode, careers are made. Shows like "Grey's Anatomy," "One Tree Hill," and "The O.C." have lifted musical artists from obscurity into iTunes heavy rotation. It happens all the time. Singer/songwriter Jason Manns managed to do something far more remarkable, becoming a "Supernatural" fan favorite via word-of-mouth (and YouTube) long before his music was ever played on the show.

In 2007, Manns' longtime friend, "Supernatural" star Jensen Ackles, flew to England to do the first "Supernatural" fan convention. Manns sensed an opportunity. "I told Jensen, 'Ask them if they want music,' and they ended up flying me out to play a concert on Saturday night," he tells Zap2it.

It wasn't Manns' first convention. His friend Christian Kane, of "Angel" and "Leverage" fame, introduced him to the scene. (We know - Manns has friends in high places. We'd like an invite to their BBQs,...

Julia Roberts' brother Eric has checked into rehab - and his treatment will be televised.

The actor, who is actress Emma Roberts' father, has joined the cast of the new season of reality TV show Celebrity Rehab, where celebrity counsellor Dr. Drew Pinsky will attempt to help the star battle his substance abuse demons once and for all.

The details of the actor's addiction problem are hazy, but his publicist Chuck Jones tells WENN, "It's not for anything serious. He's not hooked on prescription meds or hard drugs or anything like that."

A spokesman for Roberts' new film Rock Slyde says, "It's ironic that Eric is going through the same Celebrity Rehab experience as Andy Dick, his co-star in the film.

"They certainly never bonded on the set and chatted about anything like this. It's a complete surprise. No one knew Eric had a problem."

Roberts, who was arrested in 1987 for cocaine and marijuana possession and continued to battle a cocaine problem throughout the 1990s, joins fallen pop star Leif Garrett and fellow actor Jeremy London in the new season of Celebrity Rehab, which began shooting earlier this week (beg19Jul10).

I like Patrick Warburton, a lot. So I sort of wish he hadn't shown up to the premiere of his new comedy at AFI Dallas, because there's nothing more uncomfortable than sitting a few rows in front of the film's star and not laughing, not even once. I'm sure he didn't notice, I'm just one bored face in the crowd, but when you're sitting there struggling to keep awake in the midst of this dead-end mess it feels like his eyes are boring straight into the back of your head. I escaped the theater without being throttled by the mighty hands of The Tick, but after he reads this review, well the next time I may not be so lucky. Rock Slyde just isn't very clever or funny. It's exactly the kind of movie you'd expect it to be, after all it stars Patrick Warburton and Andy Dick, not Seth...
