Why no Tinsel, mostly Tine?
It has been almost a month since our last film commentary, part of the reason is because I have been caring for my ailing mother, who by the grace, is self-sufficient again, not quite herself, but doesn’t need me like she did the last few weeks.

We Interrupt Sundance…
Between the Articles and Blog sections on the Sundance 2010 website, it really is the next best thing to being there. Great transcripts of the Q&A’s – The Runaways is a must see for me!But unfortunately, Carol hasn’t been able to check in the last few days. Hopefully, we’ll all stay tuned for her wrap up! The interruption comes in the form of a R.I.P. for Author, Historian and Activist, Howard Zinn, a couple of months ago, I posted commentary on the History Channel doc “The People Speak” based on Zinn’s work. I hope in honor of him they’ll broadcast the documentary again. On the flip side of that, my…
