Philadelphia Film Society “Save Our Screens” Campaign
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor POST UPDATE: 7/21/2020 Thanks to our community, we have successfully reached our SOS Campaign goal of $150,000 with a total of $151,004 raised… Posted by Philadelphia Film Society on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 There’s hardly an industry that hasn’t been affected by the Pandemic, but the film/movie industry has been truly hard hit across the board, and close to home. I’m glad to see The Philadelphia Film Society (PFS) COVID-19 Fundraiser taking off, as it would be devastating to our city if when life returns to normal they were no longer around. (Worried about the Ritz Landmark Theaters in Philly too). For those that don’t know,…

Movie Blog Post: HOW TO PLAN AN ORGY IN A SMALL TOWN
Awkward Sex Abounds in Comedy “How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town” By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I could picture How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town as a Christopher Guest movie, with the addition of Eugene Levy and Fred Willard to this nutty mix of small town neighbors, friends and ex’s determined to have a night of unabashed sex – Orgy style.How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town is actually written and directed by Jeremy LaLonde, who was raised in a small town and had planned to do a movie with that as the focus, but found himself wondering one…

21st Annual Philadelphia Film Festival Coverage (Part I)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I think I may have seen less films this year than any previous. it wasn’t so much my day job that interfered, which by the way, generously let me come in 2 hrs late for work a couple of days during the festival. No, this year, I didn’t count on my new relationship being affected by my film festival-ing or vice versa. If you’re a regular reader, you will have seen recent posts where I’ve mentioned my new boyfriend James – he wrote the Argo review, and one on the Gotti movies; I mentioned him in a few other posts and I’m in the midst…

Vertigo: The Artist As A Filmmaker
As I’ve mentioned before, I didn’t see many contemporary films/movies in my youth. Starting at about age 10 through my 20’s, I spent much of my viewing hours watching old movies, with Hitchcock’s Rebecca, Marnie, Vertigo & Notorious at the top of my list of favorites.
