Do You Know How Many Calories are in Guacamole?: ENOUGH SAID
Once you reach a certain age an you’re either still single or single again, you’re sorta like a used book on Amazon; anyone looking to buy the book thinks why didn’t they keep the book? Why is the price so reasonable? How worn is it? Maybe it’s better to buy a new one. Seeing the recommendations from other buyers who rate the sellers, helps a lot with your decision to purchase a used book. And this is basically the premise of writer/director Nicole Holofcener’s latest movie Enough Said. T&T Enough Said Synopsis: Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a middle-aged, divorced woman with a daughter who’s about to go off to…

Acclaimed Broadway Musical ONCE Coming to Philly!
I’ve only seen the movie Once – well, once, in the theater in 2006, two years before starting Tinsel & Tine, so I never wrote about it, but it’s always stuck with me. There’s a strangely magical simplicity to this little love story between a Dublin guitarist / singer-songwriter (Glen Hansard) who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners and this Czech girl (Markéta Irglová) who plays piano when she gets a chance, and does odd jobs by day and takes care of her mom and her daughter by night.

Approaching people, Nikon and digital voice recorder at the ready,…

FREE SCREENING PASSES (Philly) And Mini Review – DON JON
Post Update 9/22 – Sorry, all the passes have been taken. Be sure to like our facebook page, or follow on twitter or pinterest, so you’ll be the first to know next time Tinsel & Tine has giveaways! What drew me to this film, Don Jon (click for trailer) was the fact that it was written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt! But when I mentioned this to 2 friends, both of which watch a fair amount of movies, they said, “Who?” I find that strange, since he’s been a staple actor for me since playing an alien in the TV show 3rd Rock from the Sun. But I would think…
