Podcast Movie Blog Post: GHOSTBUSTERS 2016
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at the New Ghostbusters by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor When it comes to blockbusters to hit theaters this summer, I was most excited to see X-men: Apocalypse, Captain America: Civil War, and the female version of GHOSTBUSTERS starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and for eye candy Chris Hemsworth. As a kid in 1984, I was as in love with the original Ghostbusters as the rest of the nation. And I’m sure at some point I watched it again in the 90’s; but when I tried to watch it again this past weekend (had to pay $1.99, can’t believe Netflix didn’t have it…

by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Indie Film Spotlight: BFFs by Writers, Producers, Co-Stars Tara Karsian and Andrea Grano Looking for a few days of vacation and amusement, two best friends pretend to be lovers while attending a couple’s weekend workshop.

Connor’s Corner: HOW TO BE SINGLE
IT’S MUCH BETTER THAN YOU’D THINK HOW TO BE SINGLE By Tinsel & Tine Contributor Connor Bartholomew When I saw the first trailer for Christian Ditter’s How to Be Single I was skeptical. As someone who is single in her twenties, I’ve pretty much heard it all: the You Just Haven’t Met The Right Persons, the pitying glances, the acknowledging nods, the I’m Sure You’ll Meet Someone Soons, the Can I Make You An Online Dating Accounts.

The Pink Cake Looked Delicious: BIG STONE GAP
You just can’t convince me, no matter how small and country a town might be, that anyone who looks and acts like Ashley Judd would ever wind up a spinster. She’s the epitome of the super cute girl next door that most men immediately marry, and so is her character Ave Maria in Writer/Director Adriana Trigiani’s Appalachian Mountain folksy tale BIG STONE GAP. I knew Big Stone Gap was a comedy, but I thought in terms of getting attached to a small town and its inhabitants, the movie might have in it a little Steel Magnolia, Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean or even that little…
