    Unexpected Treat: THE SAPPHIRES

    March 29, 2013 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor DELIGHTFULLY RICH AND ENTERTAINING!  The Sapphires is everything Sparkle was supposed to be, but even with the help of the late Whitney Houston, couldn’t manage. If you describe The Sapphires as just three sisters and a cousin form a singing group in the 1960’s, then you’re gonna yawn and say, I’ll just watch Dreamgirls again.  But you’d be wrong.  The Sapphires is not only different because the girls are Australian Aborigines, with a white Irish screw up as their mentor/manager (Chris O’Dowd). It’s different because it just hits every beat and note to perfection and I’m not talking about the Soul soundtrack. Gail (Deborah Mailman)…

    Wanted: A Man! To Be A Blog Contributor That Is

    March 24, 2013 /

    It's mutually beneficial in that it promotes blog traffic, still, I'm very picky when it comes to doing this. I don't want Tinsel & Tine to become too commercial, especially since I don't get paid to post these "Guest Posts"...

    Candi’s Corner: Sinister (On DVD)

    March 24, 2013 /

     CANDI’S CORNER I came into the game late with SINISTER.  Although a self-professed horror movie buff, I didn’t run off to the movies the weekend that Sinister premiered, much less at all. Chalk it up to being more than jaded at the latest slaughter and splatter movies of late. What happened to the psychology of the madman? I found myself looking for horror movies on YouTube, analyzing the emotional state of the debased leading ladies in Miss .45 and Thriller: A Cruel Picture.  Time passed, and as if real life wasn’t scary enough, I was suddenly in the mood for Sinister, so I did the usual- YouTube and Rotten Tomatoes…

    Help Restore the Roxy! Supporting The Philadelphia Film Society

    March 21, 2013 /

    The Philadelphia Film Society, the organization which produces the annual Philadelphia Film Festival, will assume operations and reopen the Roxy Theater located in Philadelphia’s historic Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. It will operate as a first-run independent theater, providing festival-type films all year long. The Roxy is due for a facelift, as it has not undergone major building maintenance, upgrades to seating, wall treatments, or carpeting for countless years. Projection updates are also needed, to make the necessary transition from 35mm film projection to digital. In order to attract patrons, the Roxy needs to be welcoming, clean, and state-of-the-art.  Restore The Roxy KickStarter Campaign  The PFS Theater at the Roxy will provide…

    HOME BREWING with Melissa B

    March 20, 2013 /

    Although Chili and Beer go great together, this is not the same Melissa featured in my Chili Cook Off Contest post.  I met this Melissa at a Media Beer Ladies event at Yards Brewing Company.  The Media Beer Ladies (facebook page) run by Brooke Penders is a club which combines two beloved traditions: girls night out and drinking great beer! With our Yards tour and tasting complete, we each selected a full glass of our favorite beer (mine the dark, chocolaty Love Stout) and sat down to get to know each other.  Melissa revealed that she recently began brewing her own beer at home.  Something she figured as a Microbiologist,…
