    Blinded By the Light

    August 18, 2019 /

    Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview BLINDED BY THE LIGHT – Co-writer/director Gurinder Chadha (“Bend It Like Beckham”)  I’ve always said I’m not a fan of Bruce Springsteen’s music. I think growing up in the 80’s I just felt like a white, blue collar icon wasn’t about me, so I didn’t pay much attention to his songs; although, you’d have to have been living under a pop-culture rock not to have seen a pre-Friends, short locks, Courtney Cox being pulled up on stage by “The Boss” for the “Dancing in the Dark” music video. But now, like the previous movie musicals of 2019 “Yesterday”, which celebrates the music of the Beatles and…

    Tinsel & Tine’s Coverage of the 23rd Philadelphia Film Festival (#PFF23) Part 1

    For me, St. Vincent works mainly because Lieberher is a natural.  During the Q&A he seems pretty much like a regular kid, but in the movie, he can deliver humor with the deadpan brilliance of a seasoned comedian.  Also, the story provides a genuine unfolding of just who this man, Vincent, used to be, and how he came to this point in his life...

    What Happens If You’re an Eye Donor? : I ORIGINS

    August 14, 2014 /

    By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I am just fascinated by science and technology. The Stories that I’m interested in telling are very much inspired by science and scientists and then finding the emotional, profound thing that one stumbles upon in life and how that connects to a specific scientific paradigm – Mike Cahill (writer/director of Another Earth & I Origins). More and more the lines between science and matters of spirit are blurred. Scientists study faith and its affect on healing, doctors prescribe yoga and meditation; in actuality, these two studies have always informed each other, after all, Galileo and Da Vinci were both artists and scientists.  Mike Cahill obviously…

    Philadelphia Film Festival NEBRASKA (#PFF22)

    October 24, 2013 /

      My food n film red carpet question to director Alexander Payne – “Since Nebraska is a road trip movie, are there any great scenes that take place in a diner along the way?”  Payne replied, he’s a big foodie as attested to in both Sideways and The Descendants, but no such scenes take place in Nebraska due to the stark aesthetic and lack of good eats in this Mid Western part of the country. Besides the movie is shot in black and white, not the best for filming cuisine. I feel “Nebraska” is a film that takes a while to become engaging. Although this was partly due to the…

    Greater Filmadelphia: THE SUSPECT (#PFF22)

    October 21, 2013 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor  Most of the films I screen during the 22nd Annual Philadelphia Film Festival will be included in one round-up post at the end of the festival, however, The Suspect, having been made in Philadelphia by first time director Stuart Connelly, deserves its own post, for that reason, and because of the subject matter of race. We’ve been examining race history, racial bias and racial profiling a lot in films lately – Django Unchained, Fruitvale Station, The Butler, 12 Years A Slave, rightly so in the face of what’s happening in politics – so much of the opposition President Obama faces is not because he’s a…
