Join Me Tonight at Filmfest DC

Posted on April 21, 2016 at 10:00 am

Travis Hopson of WETA Around Town, Jason Fraley of WTOP Radio, and I will join celebrated television movie critic Arch Campbell in a panel discussion about the world of movies, both on and off the screen. With Netflix and Amazon expanding into producing or buying first-run features, the lines between television and feature films are becoming more blurred. How does this situation affect commercial film distribution? The once-staid Academy Awards® were embroiled in controversy this year over minority representation. There seem to be more and more superhero-oriented, special-effects blockbusters geared to young men. Given the success of art houses like Landmark Theaters E Street Cinema, why aren’t more quality films being exhibited? The media experts will discuss these issues and many more.

It’s free, at Washington DC’s Landmark E Street Theater, 7 pm tonight. Please join us!

Movie Mom on the Chris Brake Show!

Posted on March 30, 2016 at 2:49 pm

Thanks very much to Chris Brake for inviting me on his show! It was a lot of fun. Here’s what he said about our conversation.

Movie Mom talks Nora Ephron, the WFOD Hollywood Fantasy League, why Batman vs Superman and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 are bad Fantasy League picks, Movie Mom’s 3 reasons Adam Carolla is wrong, why she’s the only critic in the world who liked the Bratz movie, which movies make money no matter what reviews say, good documentaries you should check out, Midnight Run, Good Girls Revolt, and some exclusive insider info about My Blue Heaven that no other reviewer will tell you. And later, Movie Mom accuses Adam Sandler of having contempt for the audience (with valid supporting evidence).

You can listen to it here.
