Tribeca Film: SPARROWS DANCE
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Sparrows Dance, written and directed by Noah Buschel, has the thoughtful sensibility of a foreign film – the structure, the coloring and handling of the film felt as if I should be reading subtitles. The protagonist (Marin Ireland) suffers from the panic disorder, agoraphobia. I call her the protagonist,because the character is never named. I’m sure there are other movieswith a nameless main character, and if you think of one, please leavea comment, but the only other film that I can think of, is my very favorite – Hitchcock’s Rebecca.

Guest Contributor – DJReezey: THE GRANDMASTER “Yi dai zong shi”

The Rittenhouse Hotel Interview – Lee Daniels & Cuba Gooding, Jr: LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Since April, anxiety has been my constant companion. I’ve been out of work and living on my savings, trying to figure out how to make what I love, writing this blog and the social media aspects of it, what I do. I’m no closer to figuring it all out, but sometimes you get a sign from the Universe that says you’re on the right track, keep going! That sign came in the form of an email from Allied-THA which asked me if I’d want to interview director Lee Daniels, actor Cuba Gooding, Jr and actress Yaya Alafia at the swanky Rittenhouse Hotel, to discuss Lee…

BLUE JASMINERegardless of the fact that most people won't see it the way I do. They will see that this is a Tour de force for Cate Blanchett and an amazingly seamless, and authentically funny movie that will stand out among Wood Allen's prolific legacy...
