Candi’s Corner : THAT AWKWARD MOMENT
by Contributor Candace Cordelia There’s no need to strive for cool. Everyone is a nerd in some way. You may be a Game of Thrones nerd, French food nerd, American politics nerd, or Hong Kong fashion nerd. The point is that we all have or have had something that we are passionate about, something that continues to keep our motors running. Essentially, aside from the bromantic love triangle between Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller in That Awkward Moment, the movie is all about finding your passion, or a quest to find someone to be passionate about. For instance, at one point in the movie, Zac’s character, Jason,…

Bull Rider and Miss Man: DALLAS BUYERS CLUB
Every year I make a point of seeing all the up for awards season movies; some years I’m more successful than others. Still haven’t seen a few flicks that I’d like to fit in before the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 12th (be sure to follow Tinsel & Tine on facebook, twitter or pinterest to enjoy the red carpet and telecast with me!). One movie I saw kinda late in the game is Dallas Buyers Club. Going in I knew Matthew McConaughey lost 50lbs to play the role and that it dealt with AIDS, but other than that, knew little else, which I find is the best way to…

12 Pubs: THE WORLD’S END (Let’s Boo Boo)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor There are so many themes which should be explored in this post: lost youth, failure, the nature of the human race and the bonds of friendship. But I’m spent.

Check out Tinsel & Tine’s Rate Sheet and Google Analytics, if you are or know someone looking to get great exposure on a quality blog, please pass the links along 🙂 Just think of it as my ticket to Tribeca & Sundance in 2014! The World’s End reunites Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and…

Two Sultry, Dusky Women: Trance &
The Place Beyond the PinesI noticed three similarities between these two films: Both feature amateur thieves and the theft itself isn't really the main point of the plot. Each film has a sultry, dusky woman as ...

What’s the Secret to Getting In: ADMISSION
Okay, so I’m slipping. Paul Rudd and Tina Fey’s Admission opened the weekend before last. And yes, I did see it in previews, yet I’m just now putting up the post. I suppose it was because originally, I didn’t have a lot to impart about this movie. But I found an interesting tie in this week, which inspired me to write. Fey plays Portia a woman who by her mother’s standards, (a notable feminist activist, played outrageously by Lily Tomlin), didn’t amount to much, even though Portia is one of the top Admission Faculty at Princeton University. Rudd plays John Pressman, a man with a privileged background who prefers to…
