Michelle Talks Oscars on News Channel 8
In case you missed it, here’s my segment from News Channel 8’s talk show News Talk Live.
John Carter of Mars is finally a Go!
I don’t know anything about the Princess of Mars series, I did purchase the complete collection for my Kindle last year, but haven’t gotten around to reading it. I hear this is a pretty over the top, brutally violent book with incest and stuff – so that turned me off on reading this, but it’s […]
Movies: Michelle’s Top Films of 2009
Thank god this year of movie blandness is over. I generally detest doing lists of any sort. I barely remember the movies I watched last week, that alone mediocre films from months ago. When I do a year end top 10 list I try and have balance, but this year it’s pretty mainstream. There weren’t […]
Movie Trailers: Young Victoria
Here’s a movie that I find intriguing, Young Victoria. I love a good costume drama, so this movie about Queen Victoria when she was young sounds interesting. It opened in limited release last weekend and is expanding over the next few weeks. It’s been getting a lot of good buzz. Check out the trailer after […]

Is it possible for a technology to “Jump the Shark?” While watching Avatar in Imax 3d, I kept thinking wow this is going to change movie making as we know it. What 3D film could possibly top this? (I’m being sarcastic). Now I know, it’s Jackass in 3D. I know all of you fans of […]
Movies: Brittany Murphy, Found Dead today, at age 32.
Brittany Murphy is one of those actresses that I always found her pretty interesting to watch despite the fact that she always looked like she was high. She had that mysterious “it” factor that I always talk about. A few weeks ago I was thinking about doing a piece on actors who we don’t see […]
Movie News: Washington, DC Area Film Critics Name Up In the Air Best Film!
Hey Everyone, The Washington DC Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA), of which I’m a member, voted Up In The Air the best film of 2009 and George Clooney best actor. Usually I complain every year about what eventually ends up our winners but this year I really can’t complain although I personally wanted to see […]
Movie News: The Trailer for Heath Ledger’s Last Performance, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Debuts!
Ok, let me start by saying how much I really, really hate the name of this movie. Reminds me of a scene from the movie Hollywood Shuffle, “How are you going to ask your girl out to a movie you can’t pronounce?” The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is Heath Ledger’s last performance, he died before […]
