	The Michael J. Fox Database :: Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Michael auditioned for the part, and even after the creator's initial trepidation about his suitability for the role, won the role of Alex P. Keaton on "Family Ties," the role for which he is still most famous.
		Despite Michael's now worldwide appeal, he made it quite clear that he would not 'abandon' "Family Ties." He never forgot what had gotten him to the point he was at and he stated publicly that he would stick with "Family Ties" until the very end, and he lived up to his word.
		Michael was making sure that he had plenty of time to spend with his family, working guaranteed vacations into his film contracts.

	Controversial Film: "The Passion" (washingtonpost.com)
		Michael Medved: I think this is indeed the first movie about Christ since "Last Temptation." As I recall the controversy surrounding that film it centered not on the idea that Jesus had sexual fantasies -- but the depiction of him (or Him) having sex in an alternate reality vision he experienced on the cross.
		Michael Medved: I study in Aramaic several times a week, of course, because that is the language of the Talmud and of many prayers in the traditional Jewish liturgy.
		The pronunciation of Aramaic in the film is wildly uneven.

	Michael Caine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This proved to be paradoxical, as Caine was quickly to become notable for using a regional accent, rather than the Received Pronunciation hitherto considered proper for film actors.
		Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s Caine alternated between acclaimed performances in films such as Educating Rita (1983) and Mona Lisa (1986), and unashamedly mercenary roles in notorious duds such as Jaws: The Revenge (as Hoagie Newcombe) (1987) and On Deadly Ground (1994).
		He has been Oscar-nominated six times, winning his first Academy Award for the 1986 film, Hannah and Her Sisters, his second in 1999 for The Cider House Rules (film), in both cases as a supporting actor.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Interviews \| Michael Moore
		Michael, yesterday when I saw the film in the West End, you got a standing ovation.
		He's got the best line in the film; he says, "The pen is mightier than the sword, but it's always as well to have a sword handy." You couldn't write that up in a comedy, coming from a redneck guy who grows organic food, which I thought was quite ironic.
		AC: Well, the film identifies the problem and you imagine going in that the problem is guns, but halfway through the film it's not the guns but the climate of fear that causes the problem.

	Michael Nyman - film composer
		Michael Nyman followed a traditional music education at the Royal Academy of Music and King's College London.
		The music for these Peter Greenaway films was played by the Nyman Band, whose distinctive sound hinted at Jazz with its prominent Saxophones, but took short phrases and chord sequences mostly from the Baroque and Classical eras, and delivered these with gusto whilst repeating and varying sections using alterations in instrumentation and colour.
		Michael Nyman has been known to introduce himself to a French audience as "The English Yann Tiersen" so if you like Nyman's music you might wish to sample some by Tiersen (or vice versa).

	Michael GIACCHINO - Medal of Honor (Underground): Film Music CD Reviews- January 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		I said of that album, "On the strength of this one release, Michael Giacchino should go from being a virtual unknown to taking a major step to becoming one of the very top film composers of the next few decades." This new follow-up album of his, Medal of Honour, Underground confirms my opinion.
		Once again I was impressed with the apparent ease that Giacchino tackles a broad, very detailed canvass for an action film creating a sound world that grips and holds the imagination with effects that imaginatively avoid the usual traps of the genre.
		Michael Ciacchino has created a theme for her that in its first few notes irresistibly makes me want to anticipate the old pop song, 'Arrivederci Roma' which I found disconcerting because she is French and so much of the action, particularly at the beginning and end, takes place in Paris.

	WorldNetDaily: Theaters wary of Michael Moore film
		Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" may be popular with critics, it may have received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, it may be popular with the Hollywood elite, but theater owners are showing caution about the overtly political film.
		"Michael Moore has made it clear that this film is nothing more than an attempt to undermine support for the war on terrorism, and movie theater operators have made it clear they wish to have no part in Moore's anti-military propaganda," said Howard Kaloogian, chairman of Move America Forward.
		Moore cut Kennedy’s response from the film and instead packaged the segment to suggest that Kennedy and other Members of Congress were unwilling to have their own family members serve in the war on terrorism, according to the congressman.

	Michael Kamen - film composer
		Michael Kamen has written for both the big and the small screen, and he has also composed scores for opera and ballet companies.
		And on "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" he was able to span the divide between character and action movies with a classical score moving between delicate chamber scoring with harpsichord, through to full-scale classical use of the orchestra, tied together with the Baron's main circus-like showman theme.
		It is understood that Michael originally scored the film version of "Tomb Raider", but his score became a casualty when the movie was re-edited following previews and Graeme Revell was asked to produce an alternative soundtrack.

	Unfairenheit 9/11 - The lies of Michael Moore. By Christopher Hitchens
		To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability.
		Thus, in spite of the film's loaded bias against the work of the mind, you can grasp even while watching it that Michael Moore has just said, in so many words, the one thing that no reflective or informed person can possibly believe: that Saddam Hussein was no problem.
		By all means go and see this terrible film, and take your friends, and if the fools in the audience strike up one cry, in favor of surrender or defeat, feel free to join in the conversation.

	Michael Moore Film Nears Release as Disney Sells
		Miramax had funded the film but Disney, which owns the art-house studio, had declined to distribute the movie, saying the documentary and its criticism of President Bush's war on Iraq were too politically charged.
		That fast-track release would capitalize on the recent surge of interest in the film and give Moore a chance to influence the November presidential election with his unflattering portrait of Bush.
		The Weinsteins would probably turn to a third-party distributor to handle the film, and talks with such companies already were under way while the brothers negotiated with Disney, one distributor said.

		Although the writers of this film make use of the Bible's Michael the archangel they make sure that he is not a stereotypical angel.
		The film gives us a angel who attracts groups of women in a bar with his sensational dancing and then catches the attention of the older men with his Bible story preaching in which he recounts his battle with Satan.

	PopMatters \| Film \| Interviews \| Michael Almereyda - Hamlet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The film does a good job of breaking down this conventional nexus, where Hamlet's youthfulness is part of a supposed inability to make decisions, as well as insanity.
		I don't know that that's the most profound aspect of the film but it seemed like a natural way of talking about contemporary power, and it's aligned with consumer culture, people telling us that the more we buy, or if we buy the right things or wear the right things, we'll be happy.
		I don't think that's completely divorced from what Shakespeare was talking about, because he was drawing lines between private experience and public experience, and authentic being and inauthentic being, all still a problem, if you're awake and alive.

	USATODAY.com - Berg interviewed in Virginia for Michael Moore film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In an unused interview shot in Virginia for Michael Moore's latest film, the American who was beheaded in Iraq said he was concerned about security there as he prepared to seek work as an independent businessman, his family said Saturday.
		Moore confirmed Thursday that he had footage of Berg — shot for his film Fahrenheit 9/11, which is critical of President Bush — but said he would share it only with the family.
		Fahrenheit 9/11, which recently won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, accuses the Bush administration of stealing the 2000 election, overlooking terrorism warnings before Sept. 11, 2001, and fanning fears of more attacks to secure American support for the Iraq war.

	Michael Moore's film should prove divisive - Fahrenheit 9/11 - MSNBC.com
		Much like Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” Moore’s film has polarized audiences, with the left-leaning anti-Bush crowd rushing to embrace it — the activist group MoveOn said at least 107,000 of its members have pledged to see “Fahrenheit 9/11” over opening weekend — and conservatives and Moore critics calling it a hatchet job.
		The film then characterizes Bush as a slacker president more interested in his next vacation than national security when the Sept. 11 attacks came.
		The film debuts in at least 500 theaters, twice as many as Moore’s Academy Award-winning “Bowling for Columbine” played in at its widest.
