Favorite Films of 2012 and Favorite Posts of 2012
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor As a film blogger, I do see a considerable number of films/movies during the year, yet when it comes time to pick my favorites, and the Golden Globe Nominations are revealed, it becomes abundantly and disappointingly clear that I didn’t see nearly enough films/movies to make a proper judgment. I also swear, I’m constantly doing write-ups on what I do see, but then at the end of the year, there’s a whole host of movies I never did a post about, or just a very short commentary on facebook.

The Town brought heart to the heist movie franchise. With super great chase scenes and that authentic Boston flavor.

Guest Blogger: Gorging on Gotti
I was set up on a blind date over the Labor Day weekend and believe it or not, it actually worked out! (See Tinsel & Tine facebook page for more details). His name is James Bradford, and best of all he loves my two favorite things – We’ve had many of dining experiences together (posts forthcoming). And he’s also a film buff and good writer. Here’s his first guest post, comparing and contrasting the 4 movies based on the life of John Gotti: On December 16, 1985, John Joseph Gotti, a capo (a high ranking made member of a crime family who heads a “crew” of soldiers), holding membership in…
