FREETOWN: Interview with Director Garrett Batty
Interview with Garrett Batty By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor – Terri Heard Every so often, I lose myself in the fantasy of making my own films. Somewhere in the fantasy-land that frequently floods my head, I see myself sitting in the director’s chair, calling out “Cut” or “Print” and then flash forwarding to whatever awards ceremony will have me as the awed audience applauds. Yep. Easy peasy. …Hear that? Somewhere God – however you define God (or don’t) – is laughing. Hysterically. And why wouldn’t He?

A Revlock Review: RUN ALL NIGHT
Liam Neeson’s Latest Thriller By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor Mikhail Revlock I’m probably the wrong person to be reviewing the latest Liam Neeson actioner, having observed Neeson’s ascent to action stardom at a distance and with some skepticism. To me, Neeson will always be Oskar Schindler or some prestigious variant, a habitual player in period pieces lauded by critics and reluctantly consumed by audiences, the cinematic equivalent of the Brussels sprout.
