Here’s a Taste of: FRANCES HA
I enjoyed this movie so much it deserves a loving post where I really give my take on the movie and talk about why I relate to it, and the parts that made me think of my own friendship with my best friend, but I don't have time...

Sumptuous: Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s
Writer/Director Matthew Miele, husband to WNBC anchor Sara Gore and new father to a baby boy, admitted he’s something of a classicist when it comes to New York. He’s a devoted follower of the AMC series Mad Men and thinks of post-World War II era up to the mid ‘60s as New York at its most creative. To him, Bergdorf’s represents New York at its best and brings back memories of Truman Capote writing Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Leonard Bernstein composing West Side Story… READ MORE Steve Ramos Upcoming Movies.com If you are a follower of Tinsel & Tine you know nothing makes me happier (aside from cake) than the…

Time to Hang Up “The Hangover” : THE HANGOVER PART III
In the third installment of the Hangover Series, Director Todd Phillips proves Hangovers gets worst with age By Christopher “Flood the Drummer”® Norris In the third and hopefully truly the final of The Hangover series, Director Todd Phillips reached deep into the basket of desperation and retrieved a series of over-the-top jokes, puns and homoerotic anecdotes that made light of the murdering and drugging of animals, elderly abuse and sodomy.

Had a blast seeing Star Trek Into Darkness last night! Unlike most of the 3D movies I’ve seen, this one makes galactic good use of the technology! But I’m not a Trekkie. I’m a fan of the original series, meaning if I’m channel surfing aimlessly on a Saturday and come across William Shatner stuffed into his uniform, seducing some blue creature, I get a little thrill and stop to watch. So no movie review here, you’ll find plenty of other sites with plenty to say, I just thought I’d throw out some random Star Trek frivolity: Like did you know William Shatner does wine tastings on his website? AND…

The Great Gatsby 1974 vs The Great Gatsby 2013
Carey Mulligan & Leonardo DiCaprio vs Mia Farrow and Robert Redford Did I in fall in love with director Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge (2001) (starring Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor) not really, but I did love his vision – the spectacle, strangeness, musicality and vaudevillian intention. I anticipated similar pomp and splash for Lurhmann’s latest inspiration to remake The Great Gatsby. And when it comes to the big party scene this is what we get, verve, elaborate costumes, gaiety, circus like atmosphere, whirlwind of camera angles, music and dancing, something resembling a scene from a Ziegfield show! So, obviously Luhrmann was inspired to recreate the Jay Gatsby parties, but was…
