We Interrupt Sundance…
Between the Articles and Blog sections on the Sundance 2010 website, it really is the next best thing to being there. Great transcripts of the Q&A’s – The Runaways is a must see for me!But unfortunately, Carol hasn’t been able to check in the last few days. Hopefully, we’ll all stay tuned for her wrap up! The interruption comes in the form of a R.I.P. for Author, Historian and Activist, Howard Zinn, a couple of months ago, I posted commentary on the History Channel doc “The People Speak” based on Zinn’s work. I hope in honor of him they’ll broadcast the documentary again. On the flip side of that, my…

Sundance 2010 Post 1
All that encompassess the Sundance Film Festival got underway on Thursday(1/21/10) and Park City Utah greeted artists, film goers, musicians, moguls, press and partiers with a lovely snowfall.

She likes to review lesser known musicians who come into town and play Philly’s smaller venues. That honky tonk sound with a rootsy rock influence, by musicians with snow on the roof, but plenty of sexy fire still in the belly — John Doe, to name one, is really her thing. So it was great to watch the movie with her and see it through her eyes and better yet, she treated! It would seem the Producers of Crazy Heart banked on the success of last year’s has…

The Birth Tinsel & Tine!
I’d like to thank all my friends and family who were with me during the labor pains of birthing a new name for my blog. I was given some good suggestions: “Film Bites”, “Restaurant and Reels”, “Dip My Toe”, “Cinema Gastronomique”, “Cineatsta”,”Hungry Eyes” and a few others. I actually only got two enthusiastic responses to Tinsel & Tine, so I was going to go with majority rules and set about buying the domain filmbites.net, but at the checkout, I changed my mind; it just didn’t seem to have any ME in it. And blogging is all about the blogger, it’s a very narcissistic endeavor; I think that’s why there are…
