WOK STREET on Chestnut Street Philly
TINSEL & TINE’S VISIT TO WOK STREET PHILLY By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Are you a fan of Hai Street Kitchen’s sushi burritos and rice and salad bowls? Well, now they’ve opened Wok Street (1518 Chestnut Street) another way to enjoy Southeast Asian fast food. Wok Street opened Mid-May, but I didn’t notice it, because it’s next to a building on Chestnut Street being renovated, so you might pass by it too, but if you’re in mid-town looking for a quick, healthy, filling nosh, then I suggest you pay attention, it’s on the left side if you’re heading west. HERE’S WHAT WOK STREET SAYS… At Wok Street,…

Movie Blog Post: MOTHER’S DAY! Garry Marshall Ensem Rom/Com
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at MOTHER’S DAY MOVIE By Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I am very grateful to have a mother and an aunt that’s like a mother, both alive and in relatively good health for women in their late seventies. I love them and do want to spend time with them, but I’m just over holidays completely. No offense to anyone, I just hate having to stop and think – Oh, that’s right, the next holiday is upon us, Do I have to buy a gift? What are we doing, eating out or eating in? Either option comes with it too much organizing and too much expense. Director Garry…

Philly Spotlight: SEX WITH STRANGERS Review
Writers in the 21st Century – SEX WITH STRANGERS By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I got a chance to see Laura Eason’s play Sex with Strangers directed by David Saint, at the Philadelphia Theater Company (running April 8 – May 8th) and felt immediately taken with the comfy/cozy set depicting a writer’s retreat on a snowy night.

A Little Film, A Little Food: DEMOLITION / New BBQ Menu at NICK’S IN OLD CITY
Jake Gyllenhaal Good and Crazy Again By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I was looking at Jake Gyllenhaal’s body of work. Because it seems like he’s one of those actors you see all the time (since “Brokeback Mountain”), but then when I really looked at his recent movies “Accidental Love” “SouthPaw” “Prisoners” “Everest” “Nightcrawler” the only one I’ve seen is “Nightcrawlers”, which is excellent! His portrayal of that weird, desperate, narcissistic freelance news cameraman is chilling. Similarly in this movie, “Demolition”, you’re pulled in by Gyllenhaal, despite the character’s lack of feelings and erratic behavior. You must destroy to rebuild or as German philosopher Friedrich Nietzche would claim, “You must have…
