Movie Blog Post: THE BOOK OF HENRY
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at THE BOOK OF HENRY By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Every minute I was walking the tightrope you’re talking about, every step of the way. And as a result…I never had a moment on Jurassic World where I was as consumed with fear and anxiety about what I was doing as I did on The Book of Henry. But I recognize everything that is dangerous about the choices that the movie makes and I know that if not handled with care, and arguably, if not handled delicately, it’s something that could fall apart. Even if the performances were terrible, it’s something that could fall apart. I…

A New Take on the Fountain of Youth: SELF/LESS
Movie Highlight: Self/Less By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay The fountain of youth is a legendary spring or fountain that brings youth to those who drink its water. The myth goes back to Herodotus in the 5th century B.C.E. And stories of Alexander the Great are often associated with the fountain of youth, although, his search was for a river, not a fountain. With all the power, wealth and land that Alexander attained during his lifetime, it’s understandable that he’d want to find a way to stay here to enjoy his spoils that much longer, but seeing as he died in his early thirties, why would he be…
