    Commentary – The Town

    September 15, 2010 /

    Someone commented I sounded angry in my last post. Didn’t mean to come across that way, was more of an observation and an honest admission of feeling just a tad bit usurped; although I was never in anyway promised sole blogging contribution to PFS site. At any rate, my latest post of Ben Affleck’s new flick The Town is up – For me, I’ve always questioned Affleck’s appeal as a leading man. Yes, back in 1997, (OMG was it really that long ago?)

    Why no Tinsel, mostly Tine?

    September 10, 2010 /

    It has been almost a month since our last film commentary, part of the reason is because I have been caring for my ailing mother, who by the grace, is self-sufficient again, not quite herself, but doesn’t need me like she did the last few weeks. During this time, however, I only missed one PFS sneak preview – Disney’s Secretariat. Understandably, there have been a few less films and events offered while gearing up for the Philadelphia Film Festival (October 14-24). I’m looking forward to covering the festival, but wish as “contributing blogger” I had some insider info. Instead, I’m waiting to see the schedule and highlights like a total…

    Franco’s Trattoria

    August 31, 2010 /

    It's an Italian eatery, with a very unassuming facade, in fact, it's very un-noticeable underneath the bridge over pass - neither sitting on Ridge Avenue or Kelly Drive, but rather in between.

    August 15, 2010 /

    Six months into my 38th year of this life, I had my first panic attack. I didn't know that's what it was until months later. Symptom after symptom starting piling up on me until there were days I could no longer move my arms or neck. The doctors told me I was suffering from an auto-immune condition...

    Nanny McPhee drops into Philly

    August 14, 2010 /

    PFS sent me on a fun assignment yesterday to cover Emma Thompson doing a Nanny McPhee Q & A and book signing for children invited from local organizations. Click HERE to read post and view pics. I also saw that Emma first made a stop at “Good Day Philadelphia” Stay tuned tomorrow for my commentary on Eat, Pray, Love if you’ve ever taken a look at my profile, I’ve always listed this as my favorite book, so needless to say, I was anxious to see if the movie measured up.
