Movie Blog Post: MOTHER’S DAY! Garry Marshall Ensem Rom/Com
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at MOTHER’S DAY MOVIE By Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I am very grateful to have a mother and an aunt that’s like a mother, both alive and in relatively good health for women in their late seventies. I love them and do want to spend time with them, but I’m just over holidays completely. No offense to anyone, I just hate having to stop and think – Oh, that’s right, the next holiday is upon us, Do I have to buy a gift? What are we doing, eating out or eating in?

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…
