Butter Cake Tribble joins Black Tribbles for James Bond: SPECTRE
T&T Once Again Joins an Episode of Spoiled Tribbles: SPECTRE By Tinsel & Tine Editor Le Anne Lindsay (aka Butter Cake Tribble) I got to sit in on another post screening podcast with the Black Tribbles. This time we rehashed the latest and possibly last Daniel Craig Bond flick – SPECTRE Spectre is the twenty-fourth James Bond film produced by Eon Productions, the 4th with Daniel Craig and the second with director Sam Mendes at the helm, the first being 2012 Skyfall (click for T&T post).

A Revlock Review: ROOM
Room is Harrowing yet Humane By Tinsel & Tine Contributor, Mikhail Revlock One cannot fault a sensitive, horror-averse moviegoer for balking at the premise of ROOM. On paper, the film reads as a realist revitalization of torture-porn tropes: Joy (Brie Larson) is kidnapped at nineteen by a bearded creep whom she refers to as Old Nick (Sean Bridgers), he imprisons her in a fortified garden shed and rapes her with nightly regularity, she gives birth to a child, and they live together in this tiny room for five years.
