Philly Food Truck: GRUBAHOLICS
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor In The Spotlight: Jamaican Fare Philadelphia Food Truck – Grubaholics I don’t know why it takes me so long to get back to the Philly Food Truck series. They really are some of my most popular posts! Here’s the first for 2016 featuring GRUBAHOLICS! My first encounter with Grubaholics was at the Philly Cheesesteak Festival (click for post) as they are the home of the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak! I gave them some love on Instagram and they wrote back, so we started a little dialogue which resulted in me asking them if they’d like to be featured. The “them” I refer to are Thomas Smith…

In a Marriage: 45 YEARS
A Highlight of the British Dramatic Film – 45 Years By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I wanna change my prediction on my Oscar ballot. At the end of my 73rd Golden Globes post, I included links to ballots for the upcoming Oscars – one based on Who I Want to Win the Academy Award and one based on Who I Think Will Win. I chose Brie Larson (Room) for who I’d like to win and Cate Blanchett (Carol) for who I think will win, but I want to change that to Charlotte Rampling for Kate Mercer in 45 YEARS.

The 73rd Annual Golden Globes Round Up 2016 / I’m Black & A Film Blogger – White Oscar Boycott Dilemma!

A Revlock Review: THE REVENANT
Visceral Approach to Filmmaking: The Revenant By Tinsel & Tine Contributor Mikhail Revlock The plot of THE REVENANT does not benefit from summarization. It’s 1823. A band of trappers and hunters are wandering about the Louisiana Purchase when they get ambushed by a tribe of Arikara Indians. Half of them survive. Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is among the survivors. He’s a quiet man, visibly haunted. He’s one of the more experienced members of the party.
