“Cosby Show” or not, a New York appeal board for the Motion Picture Assn. of America, upheld Friday the “X” rating for the film “Angel Heart,” which features a steamy interracial love scene between “Cosby” kid Lisa Bonet and Mickey Rourke. In a special meeting, the board watched the film, heard a discussion about the rating and then voted that the film deserved an X rating.
