    An Outside Look at : F. Gary Gray’s N.W.A Biopic STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON

    August 14, 2015 /

      By Tinsel &Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay If you’re thinking, I don’t wanna see STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON cause I’ve never been a fan of “Gangsta Rap” or “Reality Rap” as N.W.A referred to it in the late 80’s early 90’s, think again, cause you don’t have to know anything about any of the players to appreciate the fact that an American story, defining a time period in the now accepted mainstream culture of hip hop, has been well documented. F. Gary Gray’s movie is a feast for hip-hop connoisseurs and novices alike as it charts the West Coast rap superstars’ meteoric rise, fractious in-fighting and discovery that the music…

    August 13, 2015 /

    The End of the Tour: More of an Essay than a Review  By Tinsel & Tine Contributor and Illustrator Diane Roka When I was a kid in the 70’s, I would sit on the carpeted floor of our tiny local library (housed in a suburban mini-mall), wearing a tube top, denim gauchos, clogs and a feathered hairdo, and pore over a box of the latest Rolling Stone magazines. The giant plastic comb in my back pocket would be uncomfortable to sit on after a while, but I didn’t care.

    Geeks in the Round: FANTASTIC FOUR (Black Tribbles Spoiled Tribbles)

    August 6, 2015 /

       Spoiled Tribbles Post-Screening Group Review:  FANTASTIC FOUR  (Podcast) The reboot of FANTASTIC FOUR has hit. It’s been a very Marvel summer! See Tinsel & Tine’s Avengers:The Age of Ultron, Marvel Experience and Ant Man Posts. I know I’m not alone in thinking – a reboot, already?  But then I tried to think back on my opinion of the 2005 version of Fantastic Four (pre-T&T) directed by Tim Story – and all I can remember is Julian McMahon played the Villain Victor Von Doom.
