A Chat with Malcolm D. Lee on Ushering in The Best Man Holiday
If you are black and living on earth you’ve seen the movie The Best Man at some point in your life. In fact, How many times have you watched it over the last 14 Years? (comments welcome). Thus making the sequel a much anticipated movie event! And I can unequivocally say it was worth the wait – The Best Man Holiday not only serves these beloved characters in heart and truth and spirit, but is also sure to become an annual Christmas Classic. The opening montage flashes briefly back to Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Mia’s (Monica Calhoun) wedding, while quickly filling the audience in on each character’s progression since last…

Greater Filmadelphia: THE SUSPECT (#PFF22)

I must admit that I never saw the magic from all of the Spy Kids movies, but now I have to check out each one again on Netflix; I hadn’t recalled that Robert, Alexa and…

Pennsylvania Film Industry Association (PaFIA) Fall Mixer Roundup & Interview with Videographer & Film Editor Jonathan Grossman
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor On Wednesday September 19, 2013 I attended the PaFIA Fall Social & Mixer at Morgan’s Pier (221 N. Columbus Blvd) which was open to non-members. There are times I mark things on my calendar to cover and then when the actual event is upon me, I get a little chicken and think maybe I won’t go. I almost did that with this event which started at 8pm, but I couldn’t get it together and arrived at 9:15pm. The funny part is, after I get some free food and a drink, I’m in total blogging mode! Approaching people, Nikon and digital voice recorder at the ready,…

Philly Food Truck: SURF AND TURF
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Does this lobster roll look delectable? Yes, it does! So you know I am very upset that I still haven’t gotten to sample it yet. Try as we might, Surf and Turf Food Truck owner, Adam Browne and I couldn’t find a good time to meet up, so we did just the online interview and he sent me some great pics!

So here’s Tinsel & Tine’s 5 Food Truck Questions and Adam’s answers: T&T: How long have you been in the food industry? When and Why…
