And then come back to Tinsel & Tine on Monday for my Annual Oscar Round Up! Click HERE for last year’s I feel good that I’ve seen all the nominated Best Films that I wanted to see. I skipped “Amour” and “Zero Dark Thirty”, I’m sure they are fine films, but far too depressing for my taste.

5 BEST FOODIE FILMS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
I had planned for my Valentine’s Day post to be a write up on the new Nicholas Sparks movie Safe Haven, but I had a major break with my best friend of 23 years (see facebook post) and never made it to the screening. The movie looks super schmaltzy anyway.

Anyway, I’m happy to present a…
