Mikhail & Le Anne Talk: JUPITER ASCENDING
Dual Review on Andy & Lana Wachowski’s JUPITER ASCENDING By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor Mikhail Revlock & Editor Le Anne Lindsay Tinsel & Tine Readers, It’s Mikhail kicking off my joint review of Jupiter Ascending with Le Anne. We caught a preview screening of the Wachowski’s latest offering at the Rave in University City, and I think it’s fair to say we were both underwhelmed by this space opera thing. As this unclassifiable epic crawled to a dismal “have your cake and eat it” finish, I was reminded time and again of “Matrix” sequels and “Star Wars” prequels: dull blockbusters bursting at the seams with elaborate set pieces and…

I’ve made mention about a social media platform in Philadelphia called Collaborate Philly HERE, HERE & HERE. The founder Sam Watson, graduated from film school, so I gave him an open invitation to write a post for Tinsel & Tine whenever time allowed. With the lazy days of summer upon us, Sam found himself with time to see the latest in summer apocalyptic movies – Pacific Rim… Monsters appear. Robots smash. Success! That pretty much sums up Guillermo del Toro’s new summer flick, Pacific Rim. The movie is built on the backs of H.P. Lovecraft and almost any B-horror movie featuring giant beast knocking buildings over. We are thrown…

No Good Eats in 2077 – OBLIVION
Tom Cruise’s last film, Jack Reacher opened the weekend after the Sandy Hook shootings and I feel it hurt the movie’s box office, big time. He plays Jack Harper in his new movie Oblivion, opening just days after the Boston Marathon Bombing and I fear the timing may have the same effect. You would think Cruise with all his Scientology magic would have better luck. Oblivion joins the ranks of Post Apocalyptic Movies (click for IMDB list). I feel like an expert in this well-worn Sci-fi plot, so I was surprised to go thru the list and find out I’ve only seen a scant few – Logan’s Run, Planet…

Prometheus
If you make a film about aliens, the existence of God, origins of man, ancient myths, prophecies, hieroglyphics, space travel, throw in a lot of goo, birthing alien babies and an unnerving robot - then I'm most likely gonna love it...
