epic Interview in Philly with Director Chris Wedge
Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Tinsel & Tine got invited to a roundtable interview with Chris Wedge the director of the new Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age) animated movie Epic. These types of interviews are one of my favorite things about writing Tinsel & Tine.

Time to Hang Up “The Hangover” : THE HANGOVER PART III
In the third installment of the Hangover Series, Director Todd Phillips proves Hangovers gets worst with age By Christopher “Flood the Drummer”® Norris In the third and hopefully truly the final of The Hangover series, Director Todd Phillips reached deep into the basket of desperation and retrieved a series of over-the-top jokes, puns and homoerotic anecdotes that made light of the murdering and drugging of animals, elderly abuse and sodomy. The movie opens with the irresponsible and off-putting Alan (Zach Galifianakis) drinking a beer while driving a sleek, new, Mercedes convertible coupe. Traveling on a busy highway with a trailer attached transporting a large giraffe, Alan drives through an underpass…
