Kim Morgan

Kim Morgan is a writer whose film, music and culture pieces have ranged from the power of cars in cinema ("Two-Lane Blacktop" the best, of course), to the greatest of film's twist endings to movie's most memorable blondes and more. She writes essays for MSN Movies and authors and runs MSN's daily film blog, Hollywood Hitlist. She also writes for Huffington Post, Entertainment Weekly and Garage.

In addition, Kim served as editorial consultant and writer for ClickStar, where she worked with Peter Bogdanovich on "The Golden Age of Movies," Morgan Freeman on "Our Space" and Danny DeVito, writing and producing DeVito's documentary series, "Jersey Docs."

Along with her frequent contributions to LA Weekly, she was head film critic for the Willamette Week and weekly film critic for Portland's daily newspaper, The Oregonian where she also had her own column "Beyond the Multiplex." Her work has appeared in various print and web media, including GQ, Entertainment Weekly, the Portland Mercury, DVD Journal, VH1 and Salon. She's also written for CBS.

She served as DVD critic on Tech TV's "The Screen Savers" and has appeared as guest film critic on AMC's "The Movie Club," VH1, E! Entertainment, Reelz and Starz. She's appeared in the documentaries "Hollywood Goes Gaming," "Comic Books Unbound," "Fashion In Film" and will appear in the upcoming "American Grindhouse" along with John Landis, Joe Dante, Allison Anders, Fred Williamson, Jonathan Kaplan and Larry Cohen. Her most exciting moment was the honor of sitting in for Roger Ebert, guest hosting "Ebert & Roeper."

A film noir aficionado, she's presented movies and moderated interviews for the Los Angeles Film Noir Festival at The American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theater as well as the Palm Springs Noir Festival. She also contributed DVD commentary on the Fox noir classic "Road House" (starring Ida Lupino, Richard Widmark and Cornel Wilde) with "Czar of Noir" Eddie Muller and contributed to featurettes on "Road House," "Moontide" (starring Lupino and Jean Gabin) and "Inferno" (starring Robert Ryan).
