    PUZZLE

    August 20, 2018 /

    I SO recommend this film. PUZZLE is one of those quiet films full of authenticity, great character development and fine layers. The surprising humor found in Kelly Macdonald & Irrfan Khan’s characters as they get to know one another while practicing for a doubles puzzle championship is completely winning. Will definitely be on my top 10 list for 2018. The director Marc Turtletaub was motivated to direct Puzzle for a personal reason… “It’s a story about a woman who’s a mother and a wife living in suburban Connecticut, doting on her husband and her sons. And I knew that woman – it was my mother. I grew up in suburban…

    Movie Blog Post: I, TONYA

    January 7, 2018 /

    Tinsel & Tine Welcomes Back Contributor Terri L. Heard Smashdance: ‘I, Tonya’ Revisits the Crash-and-burn Celebrity of Figure Skater Tonya Harding At the climax of the film I, TONYA, Margot Robbie, starring as infamous figure skater Tonya Harding, graces us with a rictus grin – both horrifying and heartbreaking – as she applies her makeup before taking to the ice at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. Staring at her, you can’t help but think of Glenn Close’s disgraced Madame Merteuil at the end of Dangerous Liaisons or the late Kurt Cobain’s psychotic grin at the end of his video for the song Smells Like Teen Spirit. All three…

    Movie Blog Post: GOLD

    January 30, 2017 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor  ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD Tinsel & Tine’s Look at the Movie GOLD When I think of mining for gold what immediately comes to mind is a dirty old bearded prospector during the California Gold Rush, trying to either stake a claim or jump a claim. I don’t picture someone as confident, beautiful and sexy as Michael Acosta (Edgar Ramirez) or a loser kinda guy like Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey) and I certainly don’t think Bromance, but that’s what you get in director Stephen Gaghan (Writers: Patrick Massett, John Zinman) GOLD. Let’s define a few basics: “Bedrock” is the solid hard rock of the…

    Best & Worst Movies of 2016 (Top 10 List)

    January 6, 2017 /

     TINSEL & TINE QUICK YEAR IN REVIEW By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor It was a busy, fun year in Philly/Foodie Events too, but you can see a wrap up of those posts on the #PhillySpotlight page.  So this is just a run down of some movie highlights from 2016: 1. The First Movie I Saw in 2016 was 45 YEARS starring 2 actor’s actors Charlotte Rampling & Tom Courtenay (it was part of last year’s Awards season, but in Philly it was released in January). 45 Years is one of those unassuming, quiet, yet very powerful and memorable films about an older couple examining their marriage in light of some…
