Nell Minow Joins Roger Ebert's New Show
OFCS member Nell Minow has joined the roster of contributors for Roger Ebert's new television program, Ebert Presents At the Movies. The show is a revival of the classic franchise that began in 1975 as Opening Soon at a Theater Near You and temporarily ended in 2010 as At the Movies. The new series, which premiered last week, features in-depth segments from film experts from around the world, all hand-picked by Roger Ebert himself - including "Movie Mom" Nell Minow.
More information can be found at the Ebert Presents website.
If you can't wait until the next Ebert Presents episode, you can also find Nell in New York Magazine's round-up of the worst movies of 2010, which you can read here.
