Marshall and the Movies

Hello readers,

It’s nice to be addressing you all from my very own laptop in the great United States of America once again.  As many of you were probably aware, I spent the last three weeks in heaven in Argentina doing a homestay program.  I had some internet access, and with the time that I had, I moderated some comments here and there but mainly tried to keep up with all the developments in the industry.

It killed me not to put up my Golden Globes predictions because I find them just as entertaining as the Oscars.  Thankfully, I was able to watch the show through TNT (albeit dubbed in Spanish).  The translator ran about 5 seconds behind the stars, so I could usually make out the acceptance speeches underneath the Spanish translation.  The elegance of Mo’Nique and Christoph Waltz still shone through.  I’ll have more analysis coming with my next set of Oscar predictions, but it was pretty much “Blockbuster’s Big Night.”

I also come with great news.  If everything works out, I will have my first interview with someone involved in the movies.  I won’t tell you who the person is, but I can tell you that this person was very emotionally invested in one of my favorite movies of 2009.  Look for the interview on the site sometime within the next week.

I hope you enjoyed reading a whole lot of negative reviews because I can crank those out at a frightening speed.  As we enter yet another rehearsal period for me (the show now is “Kiss Me, Kate”), don’t be surprised if they start appearing with a greater frequency.

So thanks for reading even in the relative “recession” of Marshall and the Movies.  Boom is coming again soon – I promise.

Until the next reel,
Marshall

P.S. – The “F.I.L.M. of the Week” series will return this week at full force.
