Movie Blog Post: NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
A STORY OF LOVE & BETRAYALNOCTURNAL ANIMALS by Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Amy Adams is having a good month, last we talked about her movie Arrival (click for T&T post) but she’s also the central character in designer/filmmaker Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals. Ford said it took him 7 years to get another film to the screen after 2009’s critically acclaimed A Single Man (click for T&T post) starring Colin Firth, because he had a child, built 100 stores and had a hard time finding material he could completely control.

David E. Talbert’s ALMOST CHRISTMAS & Philly Holiday Bake Off
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor TINSEL & TINE JUDGES PHILLY’S“ALMOST CHRISTMAS” PIE BAKE OFF Well, the holidays are upon us again. More and more every year I wish I could hibernate starting on Thanksgiving through Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, only to emerge in time for Easter. I can picture myself in a cozy cabin somewhere in Nantucket, I’d try my hand at making all kinds of soups and breads; I’d enjoy short brisk walks, and warm myself with mint hot chocolate; I’d get my acrylics out and get back to painting; I’d read an actual book or two, instead of articles and reviews; of course binging…
