When Tim Burton brought Lewis Carroll’s classic tale “Alice in Wonderland” to life on the big screen in 2010, he captured lightning in a bottle. Through a combination of lavish effects and costumes that wound up winning Oscars, a star-studded cast having fun playing their iconic roles, and most of all, the giddy weirdness of […]

Are You Sabotaging Your Relationships?
Dear Michele, I have been divorced for 11 years. I have tried numerous dating sites and have met a few men. But, I feel I am being too picky or just not ready to move on. I seem to sabotage the relationships before they start with silly reasons why this man is not for me […]
When There’s No Physical Chemistry
Dear Michele, I have a question. I am dating a guy, we started with emails and then a few more weeks of talking on the phone. When I met him and saw him for the first time I just wasn’t attracted to him physically. At the end of the first date I decided to have […]
The Online Dating Timeline: Chat, Speak, Meet
Dear Michele, I have been chatting and private chatting with someone for two and a half months on this site. He does not want telephone conversation with me yet. He claims we are friends, but does not initiate private chat with me unless I begin first. I am wondering if I should continue to wait […]
Dateworthy – “The Nice Guys” vs “Neighbors 2”
Sometimes there’s a fine line between good taste and bad taste. A filmmaker can choose to tackle an “adult,” R-rated subject with class – avoiding graphic sex or violence and leaving extreme behavior to be implied offscreen – or simply wallow in the worst behavior human beings have to offer. This weekend, the nation’s movie […]

Has Your Date “Gone Missing”?
What does it mean when someone you’ve been on a few dates with suddenly disappears and no longer wants to communicate? He or she may not call, or return calls, or somehow make it pretty clear that they no longer want to be in touch with you. The stage of dating starting after date number […]
Dateworthy – “Money Monster”
In a summer movie season packed with superhero movies, sci-fi spectaculars and raunchy comedies, it’s refreshing to find a movie for adults that respects viewers’ intelligence and is actually about something. This weekend’s big new movie, “Money Monster,” attempts to fill that bill with the dynamic-duo star combo of George Clooney and Julia Roberts, but […]
Weekend Getaways & Dating: Should You Or Shouldn’t You?
Dear Michele, I’m a man in my 60’s who made it clear in my profile that I was lonely and would like to meet someone who would feel comfortable taking weekend excursions to places of interest with me. I found a woman who wrote in her profile that she likes to travel but not alone. […]
Dateworthy – Captain America: Civil War
There are about 400 films released each year, and for the past decade it feels like at least half of them star comic book superheroes. The two main comics companies bringing them to the silver screen are DC and Marvel Comics, which have had distinctly different approaches to their heroes’ exploits, with DC taking a […]
