PFS Spring Preview Film Festival
So, as sad as it was that Philadelphia Cinema Alliance had to shelf CineFest this spring; Philly film buffs will still have a chance to enjoy a mini spring Film Festival through Philadelphia Film Society sponsored by Pennsylvania Hospital. (See attached below Press Release) The weekend festival begins Friday, April 9th at 5pm with 11 “FREE” films in all. Scroll down for film & event schedule The only problem I see is that I have not been granted a press pass:( There’s no better feeling than arriving 15min before a screening, bypassing every other regular filmgoer in line, flashing an all access badge and sauntering into the theater. Understandably, Non-PFS…

These three (Valentine’s Day, Percy Jackson and Shutter Island), I saw in a row, on the same day for $6. Not bad, but as I couldn’t work in a Ritz Theater discounted Wednesday or matinee showing, I paid full price for An Education and Up in the Air. In addition, the cost to rent Inglorious Basterd and A Serious Man was $5 each, being as they were both on…

Wrap Up of the Wrap Up from Sundance – Carol Coombes
Knowing that readers are seeking out Tinsel & Tine for commentary on new films and reviews on restaurants, here’s my final round-up from Sundance, embracing Hollywood star-power, Asian noodles and a different way to view movies! In these hard times, everybody knows somebody who has lost his or her job.
