    Artificial Intelligence: EX MACHINA

    April 25, 2015 /

    Screenwriter Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Dredd, Sunshine) decided he'd direct his latest film, a creepy Sci-fi, with nice plot twists - EX MACHINA. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) works as a programmer or coding expert for a Google like company called Bluebook.  He wins an inter-corporate contest to spend a week with the founder, Nathan (Oscar Isaac) of Bluebook, and thinks it's an amazing chance to hang out with a super intelligent programming genius, hashing out theories and going over Algorithm and Ambient Occlusion and techie junk like that...

    Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Theatre Exile Review By Tinsel & Tine Editor – Le Anne Lindsay lf to right: Henrik Eger, PhD, Catharine Slusar, Pearce Bunting, Jake Blouch, Emilie Krause I was invited to the opening night of Theatre Exile’s production of the classic Edward Albee play WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? directed by the theater’s Founding Artistic Director Joe Canuso. After the performance, I spoke briefly with Theatre Exile’s Producing Artistic Director, Deborah Block who told me that playwright Edward Albee rarely allows the play to be remounted, that they were probably going to have to accept a no go, when Rick Gross, a loyal patron of the…

    TRUE STORY

    April 18, 2015 /

    Yes, the movie is based on journalist Mike Finkel's book "True Story: Murder, Memoir, Mea Culpa" - still, I don't like "True Story" as a title for the movie, it's too generic.  And even though it's a compelling and somewhat odd series of events coming together at the same time, it's not so unbelievable that you need to preface the fact that this is a 'true story'....

    April 17, 2015 /

    FREETOWN: Interview with Director Garrett Batty

    April 14, 2015 /

    Interview with Garrett Batty   By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor – Terri Heard Every so often, I lose myself in the fantasy of making my own films. Somewhere in the fantasy-land that frequently floods my head, I see myself sitting in the director’s chair, calling out “Cut” or “Print” and then flash forwarding to whatever awards ceremony will have me as the awed audience applauds. Yep. Easy peasy. …Hear that? Somewhere God – however you define God (or don’t) – is laughing. Hysterically. And why wouldn’t He? First of all I haven’t set foot inside of a church in years, so is it really that He’s going to answer my…
