BEST & WORST MOVIES of 2014 (Top 10 List)
Every year I get to this point where I need to do a Tinsel & Tine end of the year movie round up and then I say to myself "What have you been doing all year?" Because, there's always so many movies I didn't get to see or saw but never wrote about. This year I felt my Golden Globes nominations post would suffice as an end of the year wrap up, and then...

Dipping Into: Hello I Must Be Going
The title of the movie, Hello I Must Be Going is a song from an old Groucho Marx film which gets referenced in this film; but it’s also odd enough to sound like something Rose would say on Two and Half Men, the most recognized role for lead actress Melanie Lynskey. Surprisingly, Lynskey is not just the TV character actress we’ve all seen from time to time, even if you didn’t know her name. In actuality, Lynskey has been making films since the age of 16. The first movie I took note of her was the 2011 film Win Win starring Paul Giamatti. 9/20/2012 And if her Sundance 2012 Opening…
