Straight Outta Compton in Philly
We sent our roving reporter Jessica Lucky out this week to cover the preview screening of the movie STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON and post Q&A at Riverview Theater. Below is her write up & pics: Why so much security for a simple Q&A with the director of a soon-to-be cult classic? Might have something to do with a huge cameo from hip-hop legend and cinema star Ice Cube; also co-producer and writer to the ambitious biopic of golden era lyrical assassins N.W.A. entitled “Straight Outta Compton”. The Q&A session accompanied the special screening where we were introduced to filmmaking hustler and director F. Gary Gray, Jason Mitchell (EazyE), O’Shea Jackson…

Philly Dining: MERCATO SUMMER TASTING MENU
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor My sister LeVonne’s birthday (7/7) just happened to fall on a Tuesday this year, which made it perfect for checking out Mercato (1216 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19107) Tuesday Tasting Menu – 3 Courses for $33.00 #TastingTuesdays .

by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor T&T’s Look at Marvel Cinematic Universe:ANT-MAN I was reading about the comic book version of ANT-MAN and it seems although certainly not your household superhero, he does go back quite a ways – actually, a founding member of The Avengers. Ant-Man’s alter-ego is Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) a brilliant scientist, possibly more brilliant than Tony Stark (Iron Man) or his father, yet that seems to be in some debate. Dr. Pym specializes in “Alice in Wonderland” like technology of shrinking and enlarging people and objects, done by manipulating the space between atoms and such. His wife Janet was also a superhero called the Wasp,…

Suddenly Schumer: TRAINWRECK
T&T’s Look at Trainwreck Starring & Written by Comedian Amy Schumer By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay About 6 months ago I heard my sister cracking up and figured she was watching Comedy Central – which when the day that Comcast is finally forced to allow us the ability to pick and choose channels, CC will be one of her 10, although, without Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, it will no longer be her top choice. So anyway, I went to see what was so funny and it was an Amy Schumer standup special “Mostly Sex Stuff” (2012), but I didn’t know that at the time cause…
