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. Because it seems like he’s one of those actors you see all the time (since “Brokeback Mountain”), but then when I really looked at his recent movies “Accidental Love” “SouthPaw” “Prisoners” “Everest” “Nightcrawler” the only one I’ve seen is “Nightcrawlers”, which is excellent! His portrayal of that weird, desperate, narcissistic freelance news cameraman is chilling. Similarly in this movie, “Demolition”, you’re pulled in by Gyllenhaal, despite the character’s lack of feelings and erratic behavior. You must destroy to rebuild or as German philosopher Friedrich Nietzche would claim, “You must have…

Fireside Chat with ICE CUBE & DEON COLE – BARBERSHOP 3: THE NEXT CUT
By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Half the fun of writing Tinsel & Tine is never knowing what kind of exciting invitation is right around the corner – who would have thought I’d get a chance to interview rapper, writer, producer, mogul, actor Ice Cube! Of course, it was hard not to ask questions about Straight Outta Compton, but I knew I needed to be a professional and stick to things pertaining to the movie at hand – Barbershop 3: The Next Cut, which I screened the night before with Cube and comedian/cast member Deon Cole on the red carpet. Sidenote: I did however, get Cube to autograph my Straight Outta…

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…

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I think most of us would agree, although the movie’s opening scene takes place at the crux of the battle which occurred in Superman: Man of Steel (click for T&T post) Batman V Superman is really another Batman (Ben Affleck) flick, with a Superman (Henry Cavil) guest starring role and a Wonder Woman cameo. Gal Godot, by the way, is okay. I like that she’s of indeterminate race, and she looked fierce fighting Lex Luthor’s Doomsday… but Linda Carter with her amazing figure and sparkling eyes will always represent Wonder Woman for me. Director Zack Snyder states, “We felt an interesting way of beginning this story was to examine…
