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. And then you add in kick-ass action and it becomes a movie! We all know Colin Firth is a wonderful actor, but I think it’s even more…

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…

Empire Talk Week 5: Dangerous Bonds (FoxTV)
7 Highlights (Recap) from Episode 5 of EMPIRE “Dangerous Bonds” Directed by John Singleton Viewers were going crazy tweeting about the end of this week’s episode. Cookie’s $5000 hasty “purchase” is going to have big consequences! 1. One of the great things about this show, the format and music element makes it easy to have a slew of cameo appearances without it seeming overdone. This week Anthony Hamilton serenaded Anika while Lucious proposed marriage (Did you see that ROCK!?). Only thing is, the proposal looks to be yet another strategic Lucious Lyons move as he needs a written clean bill of health to give to the insurance company, before Empire…
