I mixed up my first Tequila Sunrise of the spring season a few weeks ago. Yum. Sipping on the appealing orange and red gradations formed when mixing tequila, orange juice, and grenadine always brings to mind the film of the same name, Robert Townes’ 1988 neo-noir masterpiece Tequila Sunrise. And of course, when I think … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

The Fabulous Tilly

Whenever I revisit The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), which is often, I’m always tickled by the small but memorable role of waitress Blanche, AKA Monica Moran, played by the vivacious Jennifer Tilly.

Adapted by Michelle’s hubby David E. Kelley from a play, Gillian centers on a father (Peter Gallagher) and daughter (Claire Danes) still struggling to process … Continue reading To Michelle on Her 67th Birthday →

Catwoman debuted in Batman #1, which went on sale April 25, 1940. That means our favorite feline fatale turns 85 this week. Amazingly, she still doesn’t look a day over 30 because, kids, comics! “I am Catwoman…hear me roar.” I love almost every incarnation of Selina Kyle as Catwoman, from comics to screen, over those … Continue reading Michelle Monday →
