    RESPECT (Aretha Biopic)

    July 30, 2021 /

    RESPECT is a very music driven biopic. We get to hear almost in their entirety, so many iconic hits and see so many wonderful concert recreations. The costume designer Clint Ramos will definitely get an Oscar nom along with hair and makeup. I wanted to ask Jennifer Hudson during the Press Conference, if she got to wear any of the Queen's actual clothing, but my question...

    Who Knew? THE SPARKS BROTHERS

    June 16, 2021 /

    It's also not your typical music biopic cause there's no surly ex-band members talking about how things went terribly wrong.  Nope all ex-members only have the highest regard for both brothers and their experience with SPARKS on the whole. Peppered through are interviews with famous fans of the group, like Jane Wiedlin, Patton Oswalt, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino and Jason Schwartzman. ..

    ROCKETMAN

    May 31, 2019 /

    Tinsel & Tine’s #MiniMovieReview ROCKETMAN (Dir Dexter Fletcher) is a creative mix of biopic / musical theater / music video, which I felt suited the subject. The blending of fantasy and reality also allows for some creative license. Because as much as I enjoyed Straight Outta Compton and Bohemian Rhapsody, they’re written as if everything is 100% accurate, which of course is impossible with a screenplay, that’s why there are documentaries, which typically are still only about 85 – 90% accurate. That being said, I read this Slate.com article – which takes some of the movie’s scenes and compares them to actual accounts in Elton John’s life and according to…

    Movie Blog Post: ALL EYEZ ON ME

    June 23, 2017 /

    Tinsel & Tine’s Look at ALL EYEZ ON ME By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I didn’t really grow up on hip hop like my younger brother and older sister did, so I came at the movie, ALL EYEZ ON ME, rather neutral about Tupac Shakur, who still holds deity status in the rap/hip hop culture. Of course, I have basic knowledge of the players & East Coast / West Coast feud, mostly because I’ve seen the Biggie biopic NOTORIOUS and the N.W.A biopic STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON,  but that doesn’t give me the authority to speak back to the critics who say it may be a fine biopic for the uninitiated,…

    An Outside Look at : F. Gary Gray’s N.W.A Biopic STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON

    August 14, 2015 /

      By Tinsel &Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay If you’re thinking, I don’t wanna see STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON cause I’ve never been a fan of “Gangsta Rap” or “Reality Rap” as N.W.A referred to it in the late 80’s early 90’s, think again, cause you don’t have to know anything about any of the players to appreciate the fact that an American story, defining a time period in the now accepted mainstream culture of hip hop, has been well documented. F. Gary Gray’s movie is a feast for hip-hop connoisseurs and novices alike as it charts the West Coast rap superstars’ meteoric rise, fractious in-fighting and discovery that the music…
