A Revlock Review: SECRET IN THEIR EYES
Gripping Yet Absurd By Tinsel &Tine Contributor Mikhail Revlock Secret in Their Eyes is easily the most preposterous film I have reviewed for Tinsel & Tine, outranking RunAll Night and even Beyondthe Reach. It is a film in which detectives look for a suspect in Dodger Stadium and find him in the first section they search. It is a film in which a self-published comic book is held up as incriminating evidence. It is a film in which Julia Roberts crawls into a dumpster, curls up beside her slain daughter, and weeps profusely as Chiwetel Ejiofor slowly backs away. A remake of the Oscar-Winning (and less awkwardly titled) El…

Butter Cake Tribble joins Black Tribbles for James Bond: SPECTRE
T&T Once Again Joins an Episode of Spoiled Tribbles: SPECTRE By Tinsel & Tine Editor Le Anne Lindsay (aka Butter Cake Tribble) I got to sit in on another post screening podcast with the Black Tribbles.

Although not quite as sentimental as the previous film, this one too delves into Bond’s past. Quick T&T: Synopsis: Like the plot of…

A Revlock Review: ROOM
Room is Harrowing yet Humane By Tinsel & Tine Contributor, Mikhail Revlock One cannot fault a sensitive, horror-averse moviegoer for balking at the premise of ROOM. On paper, the film reads as a realist revitalization of torture-porn tropes: Joy (Brie Larson) is kidnapped at nineteen by a bearded creep whom she refers to as Old Nick (Sean Bridgers), he imprisons her in a fortified garden shed and rapes her with nightly regularity, she gives birth to a child, and they live together in this tiny room for five years. With Eli Roth (Hostel) or James Wan (Saw) at the helm, Room could have represented an exercise in limit-pushing. However,…
