    Pre and Après: Ruby Sparks

    August 3, 2012 /

    The film explores what we look for in relationships; and it's this intention that allows us to buy into the impossible, in such a way that it feels completely possible.

    Magic Mike

    July 12, 2012 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Steven Soderbergh is an impressive director – Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s Eleven Trilogy, Contagion and many more, but his last movie Haywire (click for T &T commentary) didn’t seem to be up to his usual standard. Now, he’s redeemed himself for me with Magic Mike.   Based on the real-life pre-acting career of star Channing Tatum, this behind the scenes look at male stripping is not only entertaining, sexy and fun; it’s got more quality and a hipper flavor than the trailer would have you believe.     Tatum’s character Mike is ambitious in that cocksure way some young guys have of running a lot of…

    Commentary – TOAST

    October 20, 2011 /

    This same excitement and enthusiasm for all things culinary would follow Nigel Slater into adulthood and into British celebrity.  The film Toast is the early biography of Slater's life growing up in Wolverhampton, England with a very sweet, but sickly mother, who relied heavily on serving toast for meals when her meager attempts at preparing dinner would turn out unappetizing and often inedible...

    Coming soon – Toast

    October 14, 2011 /

    I don’t normally plug a movie before screening it unless I’m interviewing the filmmaker; however, I was just reading the Landmark Theater newsletter and a new food in film flick is coming out that looks scrumptious! Toast is the ultimate nostalgia trip through everything edible in 1960’s Britain. Based on the hilarious and touching memoir of food writer Nigel Slater’s childhood, and set to the songs of Dusty Springfield, it’s a delicious love letter to the tastes and smells that turned a young boy into a lifelong foodie. Nigel’s mother (Victoria Hamilton) appears to have been the world’s worst cook, boiling unopened cans of food to a soggy pulp and…

    Food in Film Blog Post: THE TRIP

    June 23, 2011 /

    Perhaps it doesn't matter, as truly the scenes involving Coogan & Brydon's banter across the table from each other are the meat of the movie and even more appealing than the actual food preparation. As well as some of Brydon's dry asides, like -  A waiter describes the latest dish brought to the table as cooked in it's own juices- Brydon: If I were cooked in my own juices, I'm sure I couldn't manage a thimbleful.
