Movie Blog Post: ALL EYEZ ON ME
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at ALL EYEZ ON ME By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I didn’t really grow up on hip hop like my younger brother and older sister did, so I came at the movie, ALL EYEZ ON ME, rather neutral about Tupac Shakur, who still holds deity status in the rap/hip hop culture. Of course, I have basic knowledge of the players & East Coast / West Coast feud, mostly because I’ve seen the Biggie biopic NOTORIOUS and the N.W.A biopic STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, but that doesn’t give me the authority to speak back to the critics who say it may be a fine biopic for the uninitiated,…

Philly Spotlight: GPFO Rally to Un-cap PA Tax Credit
Recap: Rally for the Philadelphia Film Industry By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Tinsel & Tine The Greater Philadelphia Film Office is keeping track of movies and television shows that were meant to shoot here, and didn’t. World War Z, The Bourne Legacy, House of Cards and American Hustle are on their list. The office contends that Pennsylvania lost these projects because there weren’t enough tax credits to entice them. Concerns that the state’s film tax credit program could be eliminated entirely in Pennsylvania’s upcoming budget talks, spurred Sharon Pinkenson and her team at The GPFO to organized a Rally, held last Saturday, June 3rd, to stir up awareness and support…
