Phantom Thread
The film takes place in 1950’s London and is about a very fussy fashion designer named Reynolds Woodcock, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, (who claims this is his final movie role, we’ll see about that). Woodcock is a genius at his craft, but he’s also full of himself, and seems to suffer from OCD and HSP (highly sensitive person) which is really a thing. He can’t stand noises, even stuff like people chewing. Everything must be routine. He has to be told about certain matters only at certain carefully chosen moments or he goes off...

The 75th Annual Golden Globes Round Up 2018
Tinsel & Tine’s RECAP of the Hollywood Foreign Press 75th Annual GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Well, I think we can all agree the 2018 Golden Globes was not the good time party we’re used to at this affair. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association celebrated their 75th year in the shadows of the sexual misconduct aftermath and the #Timesup women’s activism movement. Dakota Johnson Best Bling on Black & on Back The varying shades of black dresses, some with bling and spots of color – Allison Williams (Get Out) being my favorite, followed by Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades Trilogy), all made a statement and an elegant affair,…

Movie Blog Post: I, TONYA
Tinsel & Tine Welcomes Back Contributor Terri L. Heard Smashdance: ‘I, Tonya’ Revisits the Crash-and-burn Celebrity of Figure Skater Tonya Harding At the climax of the film I, TONYA, Margot Robbie, starring as infamous figure skater Tonya Harding, graces us with a rictus grin – both horrifying and heartbreaking – as she applies her makeup before taking to the ice at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. Staring at her, you can’t help but think of Glenn Close’s disgraced Madame Merteuil at the end of Dangerous Liaisons or the late Kurt Cobain’s psychotic grin at the end of his video for the song Smells Like Teen Spirit. All three…

BEST & WORST MOVIES OF 2017 (Top 10 List)
I see approx 130 movies in the movie theater a year. For which I'm grateful. And, as I still consider myself a proud story-aholic, I'm hoping to at least match that number for 2018. But out of all those, I've narrowed down my favorites, almost favorites, ones I still really want to see, and those I'm glad I saw so I could put something in the "worst"category...

Lady Bird
I’m always looking for interesting, and original points of view in a movie review and I found one: “The movie brings up tendrils of intersectional discourse — race, class issues, reproductive rights, mental health — only to leave them shriveling in the backdrop of the movie, their importance not even secondary to Lady Bird’s white girl problems. These topics were thrown into the film in the same way left-leaning people toss words and platitudes into regular conversation to make themselves seem “with it” and well-rounded thinkers, while simultaneously avoiding any meaningful discussion or real-life engagement with the issues…” by Aditi Natasha Kini TheWeek.com – https://tinyurl.com/y9hl9oh6 But I don’t agree with…
