In case you missed it, here’s my segment from News Channel 8’s talk show News Talk Live.
Michelle’s Talking Oscars on News Channel 8, Tuesday at 12.
I’ll be on News Channel 8’s Let’s Talk Live show with award winning journalists Natasha Barrett and Doug McKelway. We’ll be discussing tomorrow’s Oscar Nominations.

CBS Films makes its debut with Extraordinary Measures, a fact-based [if compressed and composited]tale that follows a family where two of the three children have Pompe Disease [a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy] and a curmudgeonly scientist who is persuaded to move from pure research to developing a treatment for the disease.
MOVIES: Legion: Cheese on a Supernatural Level!
I’m not sure who Legion will affront more – Christians or horror movie fans. The story, simply put, is that God has lost faith in humanity and ordered his angel, Michael [Paul Bettany] to slay an unborn baby and lead the rest of the angels to destroy humanity. Michael said no and was cast out […]
