    FIFTY SHADES OF GREY Book to Movie Comparison

     Satiated: Fifty Shades of Grey & Fifty Shades Darker By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor POST UPDATE: 2.11.2017 I didn’t read all three of E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey novels – I listened to them.  These books on tape were the highlight of my day while working for a mortgage company doing tedious, monotonous, brain numbing data entry.  No sooner did I finish Fifty Shades, I ordered up Fifty Shades Darker, followed by Fifty Shades Freed. It was a period of time when I needed a heavy dose of escapism and obviously, I wasn’t alone!  If you were one of the millions of women around the world who indulged in…

    Bespoke Spies KINGSMAN:THE SECRET SERVICE

    Kingsman: The Secret Service Review By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Due to my former life as an Events Director for The Racquet Club of Philadelphia, a city club with a venerable and stately environment – once only open to gentlemen of a certain birth and station, I can appreciate the sentiment behind Matthew Vaughn’s (Layer Cake, X-Men First Class) spy thriller KINGSMAN:THE SECRET SERVICE.  This is a world of bespoke suits, a code of conduct, established rituals, loyalty and a sense of belonging.

    Mikhail & Le Anne Talk: JUPITER ASCENDING

     Dual Review on Andy & Lana Wachowski’s  JUPITER ASCENDING  By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor Mikhail Revlock & Editor Le Anne Lindsay Tinsel & Tine Readers, It’s Mikhail kicking off my joint review of Jupiter Ascending with Le Anne. We caught a preview screening of the Wachowski’s latest offering at the Rave in University City, and I think it’s fair to say we were both underwhelmed by this space opera thing. As this unclassifiable epic crawled to a dismal “have your cake and eat it” finish, I was reminded time and again of “Matrix” sequels and “Star Wars” prequels: dull blockbusters bursting at the seams with elaborate set pieces and…
