Have You Heard: THE WEDDING RINGER
May the Best Man Win By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor TERRI HEARD Okay, here’s how the story was supposed to go. I was supposed to go to med school, become a doctor, make six figures, have a big, suburban house, get married and have the requisite 2.3 kids. All of it would be accompanied by fabulous hair, a fashion-forward wardrobe, a fit physique, and vacations in far away locales. Here’s how the story actually goes. I went to college a year early, spent three years as a Biology major, dumped it in exchange for a journalism degree and now toil away as a low paid writer in a crummy…

A Revlock Review: AMERICAN SNIPER
By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor MIKHAIL REVLOCK A review of American Sniper is incomplete without a discussion of Bradley Cooper’s transformation. Though the physicality of the change is the most striking (Cooper gained forty pounds for the role, and his face seems to have borne the brunt of the weight), it is his altered personality that ultimately leaves the deepest impression. The high-strung motor mouth of recent Cooper turns is gone, replaced by a plodding, vacant-eyed husk. He wears the understated persona well, delivering a tour de force in a career riddled with mainstream catering gigs. The film itself is relatively unexceptional. Directed by Clint Eastwood with workmanlike deliberation…

By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor So twitter was really hot during Empire last night. Looks like the show is catching on. It’s an all out crazy, fun, campy, black soap opera.

Philadelphia Connection: FOXCATCHER
Steve Carell plays the wealthy, eccentric, oddball, murderer John du Pont with perhaps a little too much characterization. Everyone's been praising Carell for losing himself in a dramatic roll; but for me, the transformative hair, prosthetic nose, extensive makeup, small teeth and overly stiff upward tilt of the head, is all a bit distracting...

EMPIRE Talk Week 1 (FOX TV) Lee Daniels, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard
There’s no better feeling than to find out people are watching what you’re doing, I’m not talking about Fox’s new drama Empire yet, created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, I’m talking about me, and Tinsel & Tine. A PR Rep for the show and FOX TV contacted me to ask if I wanted to be a Blog Ambassador for #EMPIRE. And it didn’t just come with an email, it came with a phone call from LA! I was told they’d been following my movie tweets and posts and felt T&T would be a good fit. Auspicious beginning to 2015! So now I’ll be watching the show EVERY WEDNESDAY at…
