FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor A WORLD DIVIDED The Hamilton cast vs Trump/Pence controversy is interesting, isn’t it? I’m in total agreement with the Broadway Musical, both in that they felt it was within their “brand” so to speak, to address Vice President elect Pence on the issues of multi-culturalism, which could be at stake during the upcoming Administration; and that they waited until after the show had completely ended, including curtain calls, to make the statement, showing concern for the proper handling of such an unprecedented act.

David E. Talbert’s ALMOST CHRISTMAS & Philly Holiday Bake Off
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor TINSEL & TINE JUDGES PHILLY’S“ALMOST CHRISTMAS” PIE BAKE OFF Well, the holidays are upon us again. More and more every year I wish I could hibernate starting on Thanksgiving through Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, only to emerge in time for Easter. I can picture myself in a cozy cabin somewhere in Nantucket, I’d try my hand at making all kinds of soups and breads; I’d enjoy short brisk walks, and warm myself with mint hot chocolate; I’d get my acrylics out and get back to painting; I’d read an actual book or two, instead of articles and reviews; of course binging…

Filmmaker Interview: Matt Johnson OPERATION AVALANCHE
I was really impressed with this movie, it's clever to imagine two hot shot CIA neophytes pulling off the caper of all capers. Then there's the camera work. Yes, "Found Footage" tends to now be denigrated a bit, and there are a couple times you don't feel the camera would've been rolling, but for the most part, it creates a fantastic storytelling device, and...
