Alita Battle Angel
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Directed by Robert Rodriguez written and produced by James Cameron, based on 90’s Japanese cyberpunk manga series created by Yukito Kishiro. I often think about all these post-apocalyptic worlds created for our entertainment, and cringe at the possible self-fulfilling prophecy of it all. History shows us the collective conscious can create, shift and build our societies and environment, so what does it mean that we’ve been steeped in movies like: 12 Monkeys, The Road, Mad Max, Children of Men, War of the Worlds, World War Z, The Day After Tomorrow, District 9, Zombieland, Blade Runner, Ready Player One, Planet of the Apes and so many…

Movie Blog Post: BLACK PANTHER
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at BLACK PANTHER By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I don’t follow comic books, but I do consider myself a “Blerd” (Black Nerd). I’m all about superhero movies, Sci-Fi Flicks, Game of Thrones, totally love Fantasy, so I see every MCU & D.C. movie that comes out, but the excitement for BLACK PANTHER starring Chadwick Boseman was palpable, building since Captain America: Civil War. Whenever I’d get depressed about something, I’d console myself by saying, but Black Panther is coming out soon! I took a day off from work to see the press screening, I bought a T-shirt, I even bought a comic book during the @AmalgamPhilly…

Lionsgate’s: REMEMORY
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I was sent another screener by Lionsgate, this time for a Sci-Fi Mystery called Rememory starring Peter Dinklage, best known as Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones. Writer/director Mark Palansky (co-writer Michael Vukadinovich) wrote this movie with Dinklage in mind, having nothing to do with his size, other than the size of his talent – discovered after working together on Palansky’s first movie Penelope (2006) which also starred Christina Ricci, James McAvoy & Reese Witherspoon. I’m not familiar with this movie at all, but it’s BTT (before Tinsel & Tine) so I wasn’t as plugged in. In Rememory Dinklage just plays a loner type guy…

Best & Worst Movies of 2016 (Top 10 List)
TINSEL & TINE QUICK YEAR IN REVIEW By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor It was a busy, fun year in Philly/Foodie Events too, but you can see a wrap up of those posts on the #PhillySpotlight page. So this is just a run down of some movie highlights from 2016: 1. The First Movie I Saw in 2016 was 45 YEARS starring 2 actor’s actors Charlotte Rampling & Tom Courtenay (it was part of last year’s Awards season, but in Philly it was released in January). 45 Years is one of those unassuming, quiet, yet very powerful and memorable films about an older couple examining their marriage in light of some…
