BEST & WORST MOVIES OF 2017 (Top 10 List)
I see approx 130 movies in the movie theater a year. For which I'm grateful. And, as I still consider myself a proud story-aholic, I'm hoping to at least match that number for 2018. But out of all those, I've narrowed down my favorites, almost favorites, ones I still really want to see, and those I'm glad I saw so I could put something in the "worst"category...

Tinsel & Tine’s Look at GIRLS TRIP By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I first saw the trailer for Girls Trip back in like February or March and thought it looked pretty good and in addition to the known cast of Jada Pinkett Smith, Regina Hall and Queen Latifah, I saw it had the team of super producer Will Packer (THINK LIKE A MAN, Ride Along, ALMOST CHRISTMAS, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON and many more) and the talents of director Malcolm D. Lee (The Best Man and THE BEST MAN HOLIDAY) but still I worried that the movie would fall flat, that it wouldn’t have cross over appeal both to other races…

Movie Podcast Post: Le Anne Lindsay on THE MICHEAUX MISSION – TALK TO ME
Tinsel & Tine Makes a Guest Appearance on the Popular Podcast: THE MICHEAUX MISSION By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I’ve contributed to many post-screening Spoiled Tribbles Episodes. In fact, just did one for The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (listen). And most every Tuesday at 3:45pm, I contribute a movie segment to That’s Show Biz with Chuck Darrow, but that’s less than 10 minutes and although Chuck can sometimes serve me a curve ball, I normally stick to my script.

DIRTY DANCING: Win T&T Interview with Jennifer Mealani Jones
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Film to Stage Post: DIRTY DANCING The Classic Story Returns to Philly May 16 – 21 at the Merriam Theater! I’m really looking forward to seeing the Kimmel Center Broadway stage adaptation of Dirty Dancing, some movies are hard to picture going from the screen to live theater, but I think this one will lend itself. And great timing as the movie is celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary! So sad we lost Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s real nose since the musical romantic drama took the box office by storm back in 1987, and became a beloved favorite for subsequent generations. For me, it’s not quite…
