If you have read my reviews for any length of time you will know that one of my many film bias is an extreme dislike of talking animals in my movies. Generally, they creep me out and take me right out of the experience. The one exception to that rule was The Chronicles of Narnia. […]

Movie Reviews: Go Speed Racer Go! Michelle Loves the Heck out of Speed Racer!
Speed Racer was always one of my five wholly grails of films. Weirdly, I’ve never been that into the cartoon, but always thought it would make an amazing film. I was prepared to totally hate Speed Racer, everything that I saw of the film before I saw it sucked Chim Chim’s monkey balls which were […]
Son of Rambow makes Michelle want to get off her ass!
Anyone who has read my reviews over the years, knows that I’m a sucker for films about the creative process and precocious British kid films. Writer/Director Garth Jennings, whose last film was 2005’s “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” has crafted a small, indie film that – dare I say it? Should I say it? Why […]
Blu-ray movies on your PSP? Oh, yes, it could be…
If it’s Tuesday, it must be Bluesday (copyright EM) and we have a tone of interesting news on Sony’s PS3 upcoming firmware upgrade. Not only are we going to get the new Profile 2.0 update which will bring us Blu-ray Live functionality. I saw this at CES earlier this year and it looks really promising. […]
Oscar Winners
After I said I wouldn’t watch it, I did tivo it and watched most of it, it cut off at 3 hours. After 80 years you’d think they figure out how to do the damn show in under 3 hrs! So I didn’t catch the last few awards. I fast forwarded over all the fluff […]
Oscars are tonight and I can’t seem to care.
The Oscars are tonight and somehow I just can’t seem to care. Last year was a really lackluster year for films as evidenced by the fact that Michael Clayton one of the most convoluted boring films that I’ve ever walked out on is nominated for best picture. Is it me or does it seem like […]
SxSW Gets Another Plum. Warner Brother’s Otis Opens The Austin Conference.
Warner Home Video (WHV) announced today that the provocative, black-comedy OTIS, the fourth feature under the Raw Feed production banner, will have its world premiere on opening day of the 15th edition of the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference & Festival in Austin, Texas. The film, along with Columbia Pictures’ 21 (starring Kevin Spacey, […]
Rambo is Back this Weekend
Rambo- Trailer 3 – Watch more free videos Here are a couple of Rambo news items. Originally Lionsgate wasn’t going to screen the movie for Critics, but they relented at the last minute and had a press screening tonight. Unfortuanately, it’s at a hard to get to theater here in DC so I’m going to […]
EM and Variety Team Up to Bring You Sundance
Hey Everyone, generally I would be the one out in the cold to bring you coverage of some convention or festival, but this time I’m teaming up with the folks at a little publication called Variety to bring you the scoop on this week’s Sundance Film Festival. I’m sure they don’t have the vast resources […]
Oscars Are Announced and we give a collective Yawn
I was going to post this yesterday, but the Heath Ledger tragedy took priority and somehow talking about the Oscar race after his death seemed a little weird. I have to say that while I’m not enthused with this year’s selections, I agree with most of them. The only rant that I would have is […]
Tragic News, Heath Ledger Dead at 28
Generally, I don’t report news like this on the site because I don’t have anything to say when someone dies. Especially someone that I don’t know. But I feel that I must comment on the death of Heath Ledger. He was probably one of my top 5 favorite actors. I loved everything that he’s done, […]
