THE WORDS: Philly Red Carpet Event
w/ BRADLEY COOPER by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor The Words Philly Movie Premiere with Bradley Cooper was the first red carpet event that I got to cover solely for Tinsel & Tine. In the past, I’ve been invited as either a contributor for Cinedelphia or Philadelphia Film Society, and I’ve always been grateful for those opportunities; but now that I’ve been inducted as official Philly Media – more & more exclusive, on the scene, type invites will be forthcoming!!! Or so I hope. When I arrived, after getting my media press pass
I just went to the end of the line of press people and photographers to wait. Then… -
20 Philly Film Fest -Jonathan Demme – I Am Carolyn Parker
Intellectually, I know the beauty of a film festival is to see small films, those without distribution yet, documentaries and foreign films. I always have good intentions of puttting these things in my schedule, but for me, it’s kinda like doing laundry – I love fashion and I want to wear clean clothes, but I don’t feel like sorting the wash and going to the basement.

JACK GOES BOATING – Q&A with AMY RYAN
Jack’s in his late forties, early fifties, it’s kinda hard to tell being played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who has got to be the most unhealthy looking creature on the face of the earth. Honestly, he looks like an unearthed corpse, embalmed about a week ago; particularly with his hair matted and tangled with attempted dread locks. For this sneak preview of Jack Goes Boating, the audience was treated to a guest appearance by actress, Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone). Q: How was it playing opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman, while he’s also directing? AR: To be directed by your leading man.. um… Well, we had the extraordinary experience of rehearsing…
