A Little Film, A Little Food: DEMOLITION / New BBQ Menu at NICK’S IN OLD CITY
Jake Gyllenhaal Good and Crazy Again By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I was looking at Jake Gyllenhaal’s body of work.

Gorniak Goes for Gold: CITY OF GOLD (foodie doc)
The key to deciphering both the city it beautifully depicts and the man who eats it best – City of Gold By Tinsel & Tine Contributor Denine Gorniak (The Bicycle-Chef) What Jonathan Gold, Los Angeles Times food critic/writer, has done for food writing journalism and for the restaurants that he loves, the movie, City of Gold has done for Jonathan Gold and Los Angeles and its surrounding environs – it has planted taco covered kisses on them. The movie is a love-letter to both Mr. Gold and Los Angeles. The documentary turns the notion that there’s no “there, there” in LA and flips it over like the many tortillas that…
