Home > Michael Medved

 
Michael Medved (born October 1948) is an Orthodox Jewish author, columnist and one of America's best known film reviewers. He hosts a nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show.

He has published a number of books, of which the best remembered is his The Golden Turkey Awards, which appeared in 1980, which he co-wrote with his younger brother Harry Medved . This book was pivotal in calling the public's attention to the humorous potential of bad movies; its selection of Plan 9 from Outer Space as the worst movie ever made helped turn that almost forgotten Ed Wood film into a cult film. This book spawned several sequels.

Over the years, Medved has been an outspoken critic of how religion is portrayed by mainstream Hollywood. He is one of the Jewish voices in America praising Mel Gibson's controversial movie, The Passion of the Christ. Medved reviewed a pre-release version of and called it "by far the most moving, substantive, and artistically successful adaption of Biblical material ever attempted by Hollywood."
