Philadelphia Film Festival NEBRASKA (#PFF22)
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…

It’s Time for the 22nd Philadelphia Film Festival! #PFF22
Wow! Has it been a year already? Believe it or not, I lost a boyfriend over PFF21. We met on Labor Day weekend and mistakenly spent almost every moment with each other from that point on. I warned him that I’d be pretty busy for 2 weeks once the Philadelphia Film Fest started up, as I’d be trying to cover a number of films and events for Tinsel & Tine. He seemed okay with it in theory, but once I was in the midst of it all, he got resentful that it was taking up so much of my time, but also didn’t want to join me. There were of…
