Movie Blog Post: NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
A STORY OF LOVE & BETRAYALNOCTURNAL ANIMALS by Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Amy Adams is having a good month, last we talked about her movie Arrival (click for T&T post) but she’s also the central character in designer/filmmaker Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals. Ford said it took him 7 years to get another film to the screen after 2009’s critically acclaimed A Single Man (click for T&T post) starring Colin Firth, because he had a child, built 100 stores and had a hard time finding material he could completely control. Nocturnal Animals is based on a novel by Austin Wright called “Tony and Susan”, but Ford admits to…

Movie Blog Post: So Proud of Nate Parker and his film The Birth of A Nation
STILL TIME TO RALLY AROUND THE REAL ISSUES OF THE BIRTH OF A NATION By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I’m certainly not trying to be insensitive to the horrors of rape or suicide. But come on people, this movie is not the platform for that discussion. Nate Parker was not convicted of a crime and has grown up to have a beautiful family and a seven year journey to bringing forth his film – The Birth of a Nation. It is time to rejoice about hard work, dedication, patience and talent paying off – to Research/Write/Act/Direct/Secure Funding/Go Broke etc.. takes a lot of stamina and heart and…

Movie Blog Post: THE DRESSMAKER
A TOWN TRANSFORMED BY OVER THE TOP ELEGANT DAY WEAR By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I fell in love with the trailer for this film, THE DRESSMAKER (Dir. Jocelyn Moorhouse, based on the novel of the same name by Rosalie Ham) the odd tone and vampy quality sucked me in immediately and so did the first 3/4 of the movie.
