Photo credit: Allied Philly Tyler Perry was in Philadelphia earlier this month to promote his latest movie Boo! A Madea Halloween. He walked the red carpet and introduced the film to an enthusiastic Philly audience.

STILL TIME TO RALLY AROUND THE REAL ISSUES OF THE BIRTH OF A NATION By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I’m certainly not trying to be insensitive to the horrors of rape or suicide. But come on people, this movie is not the platform for that discussion. Nate Parker was not convicted of a crime and has grown up to have a beautiful family and a seven year journey to bringing forth his film – The Birth of a Nation.
