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…

MAGIC MIKE XXL: Review and Interview with Stephen “tWitch” Boss at Sofitel Philadelphia
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor 2012’s Magic Mike (click for T&T post) took most of us by surprise. Sure, Steven Soderbergh is an amazing director, but it just seemed like such a throwaway summer movie concept – well, we were wrong – it turned out to be a pretty darn good movie, Matthew McConaughey was fantastic and for those of us who didn’t know Channing Tatum’s background, we were amazed by his moves. Three years later we’re given the sequel and this one, under the direction of Gregory Jacobs with it’s very loose plot and limited dialogue is more or less a throwaway, but a really HOT, SEXY, SUPER FUN…
