    69th Annual Golden Globe Awards Round Up 2012

    January 16, 2012 /

    Host Ricky Gervais began with saying that his antics of last year - offending just about everyone in the room, the network and the HFPA themselves, earned him an invitation back! He was given a list of "Don'ts" that included not being able to mention anything having to do with Mel Gibson, including Jodie Foster's Beaver...

    Commentary – JOYFUL NOISE

    January 15, 2012 /

    Joyful Noise stars Queen Latifah as Vi Rose, a strong, upstanding, church-going, choir singing mother of two. Her beautiful daughter Olivia (Keke Palmer of Akeelah and the Bee)is 16 and although she still enjoys singing in the church choir, she's also at that age where blind parental obedience has gone out the stained glass window.

    Philly Dining: CITY TAVERN

    January 13, 2012 /

    For any regular readers who read my New Year’s Eve post I exclaimed about finding $140 in the movie theater on NYE, which I felt was a good omen for me and Tinsel & Tine for 2012.  And I felt the best thing to do with the money was spend it on dining out, thus completing the circle of film and food. My Aunt watches Chef Walter Staib’s show on PBS “a Taste of History” , where each week Chef Staib prepares cuisine from the 18th Century. So with the windfall, I decided to treat her to the historic dining experience of his establishment City Tavern Restaurant  (138 South 2nd Street…

    Commentary – In The Land of Blood & Honey (Angelina Jolie Interview)

    January 13, 2012 /

    In terms of Angelina's directing style, I'm glad that she just shot it straight, it's clean and authentic. She didn't try to be an auteur, no gimmicks, nothing vague or highbrow.  And as a side note: each scene was shot twice; once in English and another in the language of the region, creating two versions of the film...

    Highlighting: Filmmaker Nikias Chryssos (Tower Block and Der Bunker)

    January 8, 2012 /

    Remember the interview I did for QFest back in July with filmmaker Scud? (click for post) Well, that got the attention of a Munich-based film production company (Deutsche Exotik Filmproduktion) which focuses on independent and art-house films – They asked if I would be interested in interviewing director Nikias Chryssos whose first film Tower Block about a young boy who lives with his sadistic,17 year-old, tormenting brother in the slums of Germany, did well on the festival circuit. Chryssos latest project is called Der Bunker,  it deals with education, excessive demands & mental overload. Nikias approaches these topics in his very own style – playful, artistic and at times bizarre…
