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. Then it takes a really hard turn into sadness and black comedy. Sure, I get it, the story’s about a prodigal daughter’s unwelcome return home, so you anticipate repercussions; still I never expected it to get so dark; was hoping I could recommend it to my…

His latest film The Light Between Oceans (based on a novel by M. L. Stedman) is where Michael Fassbender and Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander fell in love.…

Movie Blog Post: MORGAN
A Sci-Fi Version of And Then There Were None by Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay It’s gotta be tough to follow in your father’s footsteps when he wears big shoes the likes of “Alien” and “Blade Runner”, but it looks like Luke Scott, son of Ridley Scott is off to a good start with room to grow a size or two. MORGAN, written by Seth W. Owen, has a sci fi premise involving corporate funding of an experimental project birthing humanoid creatures with artificial DNA. The first prototype of this version to make it longer than a few hours is Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy). The team who brought Morgan…

Win a 3 Day Pass to STAR TREK: MISSION NEW YORK Labor Day Weekend 2016
Post Update 9/8/2016 POST UPDATE 8/29/2016 Well, I have to say I’m both very disappointed and perhaps if truthful, a little relieved that only one person entered my “Be My Trekkie Guide” Contest . I say a little relieved because it was going to be an undertaking to coordinate with the winner, figure out accommodations, didn’t want to buy my bus ticket too early in case things didn’t work out, but I also didn’t want to be a$$ out without a tix for the holiday weekend if it did, and other logistics etc… At any rate, the one entry was a woman. I was rather hoping this could be a…
