A Dash: Skyfall (James Bond 007)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Pierce Brosnan will forever remain my favorite Bond; ironically, as I fell in love with him as TV’s Remington Steele, which originally kept him from playing 007. The first Bond flick I saw in the movie theater was Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights. I can’t say I liked or disliked Dalton as Ian Flemings’ iconic, seductive, MI6 agent. However, I do recall Director John Glen managing some rather imaginative stunts in that one. I’ve still yet to catch up on many of the classic James Bond movies featuring Sean Connery and Roger Moore. And although I enjoy the franchise on the whole, the Bond…

ARGO (Ben Affleck)
by James Bradford, Guest Critic (and boyfried 🙂 Ben Affleck has proven to me that he is a true talent, and that talent, lies behind the camera. Gone Baby Gone ranks among one of the top child abduction movies. Not only did it keep you guessing; but the gritty, questionable protagonist, played with amazing truth by Amy Ryan, gave the movie remarkable originality. The Town brought heart to the heist movie franchise. With super great chase scenes and that authentic Boston flavor. And now Argo successfully manages to keep us glued to a plot in which we already know the outcome. The Hollywood element to this film is not only…

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).

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…

PITCH PERFECT
Beca (Kendrick) is into music. She carries around a laptop with a state-of-the-art sound mixing board and serious big-ass headphones. Her father is faculty at Barden University, the two aren't close, as Beca hasn't forgiven him for divorcing her mother and remarrying; yet sensibly, she does agree to attend the school and get a free education. But after a lackluster first couple of weeks, Beca is ready to follow her dream of going to LA...

THE WORDS: Philly Red Carpet Event
w/ BRADLEY COOPER by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor The Words Philly Movie Premiere with Bradley Cooper was the first red carpet event that I got to cover solely for Tinsel & Tine. In the past, I’ve been invited as either a contributor for Cinedelphia or Philadelphia Film Society, and I’ve always been grateful for those opportunities; but now that I’ve been inducted as official Philly Media – more & more exclusive, on the scene, type invites will be forthcoming!!! Or so I hope. When I arrived, after getting my media press pass 😉 I just went to the end of the line of press people and photographers to wait. Then…
