Uncle Bob: THE INTERN
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I really hope this movie THE INTERN encourages more mixing of the generations in the workplace. Last year a temp agency sent me on a job interview at a tech/web company; I think when sent by an agency the company hiring doesn’t really have all the details of who you are – so when the young interviewer came to greet me in the reception area, I saw a noticeable look of dismissal on his face, the moment he laid eyes on me. You could see he saw over 40, and was like, not happening. Being black and female didn’t help either. Of course he had…

Empire Season 2 RECAP: Back with a Vengeance
If you were worried #EMPIRE might lose its appeal over the hiatus, worry no more, it’s BAAACK! Season 2, Episode 1: The Devils Are Here Directed by Lee Daniels, picks up 3 months later and Lucious Lyon is still behind bars, yet still calling the shots. Jamal has become his loyal cub. And has not only bulked up his body, but he’s got a swelled head, giving everyone, even Becky, attitude as the new head of Empire. #EmpireSeason2 @JussieSmollett looks like he’s been lifting, kinda bulked up, looks good! #Empire — Tinsel & Tine (@tinseltine) September 24, 2015 A “Free Lucious Lyon” concert is being put on in the opening…

BLACK MASS Fantasy Departure for Johnny Depp
Highlight: Johnny Depp as James “Whitey” Bulger By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I’m not really big on gangster films, although I do think, like most people, that Goodfellas is excellent.

Although, I’m not putting myself through SICARIO, thankfully, Blog Contrib Mikhail Revlock’s covering that one. Johnny Depp over the years has chosen roles where he’s disguised – starting with Edward Scissorhand, to the fey Pirate Jack…

Talk Back at the Screen Flick: THE PERFECT GUY
The Perfect Guy – The woman-in-peril thriller shook off bad reviews and placed first with a robust $26.7 million domestic for the opening weekend, a handsome profit on a modest $12 million budget… However, the bigger win may be that Hollywood has reached something of a long-overdue tipping point: Between Straight Outta Compton, War Room, and now The Perfect Guy, the box office winner has been a film headlined by African American leads for five weeks in a row. Fittingly, the milestone comes from Screen Gems, long one of the few places in Hollywood to actively (and successfully) serve African American audiences… READ MORE by John Lopez Grantland Quick…
