    Set in the 50’s Flicks: BROOKLYN and TRUMBO

    November 25, 2015 /

    Quick Look at 2 Period Movies In Theaters Thanksgiving Weekend BROOKLYN & TRUMBO By Tinsel &Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Thought I’d do a combined post on these two movies as both have single word titles, are set post-WWII, and both have strong leads torn between what’s comfortable and taking risks. BROOKLYN stars Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, Grand Budapest Hotel) as Eilis a young Irish woman who can’t find decent work in their small town of Enniscorthy, so her older sister who treats her almost like a daughter, even though they both live at home with a loving mother, arranges for her passage to America through a priest in New York…

    Movie Blog Post: MISTRESS AMERICA

    September 2, 2015 /

    Noah Baumbach’s Second film in 2015 Mistress America 30’s Too Soon For Desperation, Or Is It? By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Ok, so I haven’t watched “Margot at the Wedding” or the “Squid and the Whale”, since I said I would, after declaring Noah Baumbach one of my favorite writer/directors based on my enjoyment of “Greenberg”, “Frances Ha” and “While We’re Young”. Believe it or not, I don’t watch very many movies at home, but those films are next on my queue. (Post Update 12.23.17:  I’ve watched both movies in the last 2 years and can now definitively say, Noah Baumbach is my favorite white, male director).…

    Film Bite: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

    June 26, 2015 /

    Comparisons of course are being made between Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Fault in Our Stars (click for T&T post) They're both books to movies aimed at a young adult audience using humor to defuse the bleakness of staring mortality in the face at such a young age.  But Fault is a straight up story about falling in love and Earl tries to pretend it's not...

    MOVIE “KETCHUP”: Far From the Madding Crowd

    June 22, 2015 /

    Most everyone thinks the title is Far From the "Maddening" Crowd, once upon a time, I used to think so too.  In researching the title, it's not too far off - the word "madding" means to make wild or insane, derived from the word "madden" to drive to distraction. ..

    TRUE STORY

    April 18, 2015 /

    Yes, the movie is based on journalist Mike Finkel's book "True Story: Murder, Memoir, Mea Culpa" - still, I don't like "True Story" as a title for the movie, it's too generic.  And even though it's a compelling and somewhat odd series of events coming together at the same time, it's not so unbelievable that you need to preface the fact that this is a 'true story'....
