Lady Magdalene's
"I saw this film at DragonCon last year, and it is a wonderful mix of comedy, mystery, singing and dancing."

"Thanks for inviting me to tonight's premiere.... I really enjoyed the movie. Congratulations on getting it made. Lady Magdalene's is a combination of humor, wit, political observation and sexiness. Nichelle Nichols provides an excellent center for all of the hijinks that swirl around her. Her performance reminded me a lot of Ruby Dee, actually - charm, wisdom, love, experience - all held together by grit, determination and professionalism. It was a nice role for her, and she did a lot with it. Ethan Keogh I thought was really solid. Deadpan - believable - strong - natural. Where'd you find him? Susan Smythe was also quite good - had a kind of Carrie Fisher/Candy Clark quality. She also looked natural handling a gun (which most actresses do not). Where did you find Claudia Lynx? Absolutely smoking hot. Plus she was good. I really bought her fear of Yassin. I enjoyed the way the whole thing came together at the end...quite funny. I hope you get good distribution for it. Congratulations again."

"Funny and very entertaining! Nichelle Nichols is an international treasure. The story flowed and was logical for me to follow, yet I couldn't predict the end. I think it will have a good run at the box office. Lady Magdalene's reminded me of the Monty Python series blended with current-day American politics. I really liked the Star Trek references buried in the film. All of the Star Trek fans will come out to support Ms. Nichols. Technically, I found the transitions and clips smooth and easy on my eyes. The sound design and musical selections were appropriate. In summary, I can't wait to take my wife to see it."
