Have You Heard: BEYOND THE LIGHTS
by Contributor Terri Heard I was listening to The Movie Man’s 6 Second Review for Beyond the Lights this morning on the Elvis Duran Show and I just knew he was going to give a curt dismissal ending in “I’m Out” – But he was IN! He gave it a more than six second rave! Not that I need validation from The Movie Man to like or support a movie, but it did prove this movie has cross over appeal, not just with white and black audiences but, male and female. You know who else really liked the movie? Another new Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor – Terri Heard. I…

Blog Contributor: MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN
I’m a fan of Jason Reitman’s films: Thank You for Smoking (2006) Juno (2007) Up in the Air (2009) Young Adult (2011) Labor Day (2013) there’s always a bit of melancholy mixed with subtle humor and a side of social commentary not far beneath the surface. So I’m not really sure why I haven’t made a point yet to see Men, Women & Children, although, The Rotten Tomatoes meter reading is 23 critics / 53 audience, which makes me think, no rush, see it eventually on Netflix. However, Monique, who has previously submitted reviews to Tinsel & Tine, loves the movie! See her reasons why below. – Le Anne Lindsay,…
