Simply Marvel-ous: The 4 Comicbook Movies You Don’t Want to Miss
I’m psyched to see “The Wolverine” and the first “Thor” wasn’t bad, so I’m looking forward to that too. Chris Hemsworth was my choice for sexiest superhero until the new Superman “Man of Steel” Henry Cavill came bursting onto the screen last night! Now he’s got my vote. I’ve always preferred dark haired guys anyway, but when Hemsworth came on the scene, he toppled Robert Downey, Jr who is now #3. Hugh Jackman lost a tinge of sexiness for me after doing Broadway, it’s been a while since he was my #1, alas Wolverine has now fallen to 4th place. With Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) taking up the rear as…

Mischief Night on Steroids: THE PURGE
Jesus said “For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. (Matthew 26:11). In the future, if things go the way of writer/director James DeMonaco’s (click for good interview) imagining, we will not only experience Godlessness, but also a method for keeping the poor down to a very few. The Purge evokes a wicked, nightmarish quality of tension and murderous intent, but this isn’t what makes it frightening. The real fear comes from the political and social issues it examines on inequality & class, the natural inclination of humans towards violence and what could happen if ever a radically Republicany/Teapartyish/NRAer type group were to…

Sumptuous: Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s
Writer/Director Matthew Miele, husband to WNBC anchor Sara Gore and new father to a baby boy, admitted he’s something of a classicist when it comes to New York. He’s a devoted follower of the AMC series Mad Men and thinks of post-World War II era up to the mid ‘60s as New York at its most creative. To him, Bergdorf’s represents New York at its best and brings back memories of Truman Capote writing Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Leonard Bernstein composing West Side Story… READ MORE Steve Ramos Upcoming Movies.com If you are a follower of Tinsel & Tine you know nothing makes me happier (aside from cake) than the…

Time to Hang Up “The Hangover” : THE HANGOVER PART III
In the third installment of the Hangover Series, Director Todd Phillips proves Hangovers gets worst with age By Christopher “Flood the Drummer”® Norris In the third and hopefully truly the final of The Hangover series, Director Todd Phillips reached deep into the basket of desperation and retrieved a series of over-the-top jokes, puns and homoerotic anecdotes that made light of the murdering and drugging of animals, elderly abuse and sodomy. The movie opens with the irresponsible and off-putting Alan (Zach Galifianakis) drinking a beer while driving a sleek, new, Mercedes convertible coupe. Traveling on a busy highway with a trailer attached transporting a large giraffe, Alan drives through an underpass…

Trekkie Soup: STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
Had a blast seeing Star Trek Into Darkness last night! Unlike most of the 3D movies I’ve seen, this one makes galactic good use of the technology! But I’m not a Trekkie. I’m a fan of the original series, meaning if I’m channel surfing aimlessly on a Saturday and come across William Shatner stuffed into his uniform, seducing some blue creature, I get a little thrill and stop to watch. So no movie review here, you’ll find plenty of other sites with plenty to say, I just thought I’d throw out some random Star Trek frivolity: Like did you know William Shatner does wine tastings on his website? AND…
