    Movie Blog Post: So Proud of Nate Parker and his film The Birth of A Nation

    October 9, 2016 /

     STILL TIME TO RALLY AROUND THE REAL ISSUES OF THE BIRTH OF A NATION By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I’m certainly not trying to be insensitive to the horrors of rape or suicide. But come on people, this movie is not the platform for that discussion. Nate Parker was not convicted of a crime and has grown up to have a beautiful family and a seven year journey to bringing forth his film – The Birth of a Nation. It is time to rejoice about hard work, dedication, patience and talent paying off –  to Research/Write/Act/Direct/Secure Funding/Go Broke etc.. takes a lot of stamina and heart and…

    Art, History, Race, Romance, Politics: BELLE

    May 12, 2014 /

    by  Le Anne Lindsay I’m sure there are people born and raised in Nebraska who are Francophiles, Gingers who love the sun and Dutch who wear Kimonos and collect things from the Ming Dynasty and on and on, you never know why people have an affinity to, or identify with, things that don’t seem to fit who they are or should be. I’ve always been drawn to the British Aristocracy and fancy the idea of living in a sprawling country estate. I began reading historical Harlequin Romance novels about the age of 11 or 12 and absolutely loved all the etiquette, intrigue, wealth, entertaining and most importantly, no one worked.…

    You Said a Mouthful Gleiberman – 12 YEARS A SLAVE

    October 26, 2013 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Normally, I try to only read interviews and behind the scenes info before writing my reviews, and leave reading other’s reviews til after, so as not to taint my originality. I should have kept to that policy, because now that I’ve read Owen Gleiberman’s CNN Entertainment/ EW.com review on the Steve McQueen much anticipated movie 12 Years A Slave,  I feel I should just write my agreement to every word Gleiberman offers; words my heart were crying to write, but would never have been so eloquently expressed: Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave is an agonizingly magnificent movie: the first great big-screen dramatization of slavery.…

    The Rittenhouse Hotel Interview – Lee Daniels & Cuba Gooding, Jr: LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER

    August 11, 2013 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Since April, anxiety has been my constant companion. I’ve been out of work and living on my savings, trying to figure out how to make what I love, writing this blog and the social media aspects of it, what I do.  I’m no closer to figuring it all out, but sometimes you get a sign from the Universe that says you’re on the right track, keep going! That sign came in the form of an email from Allied-THA which asked me if I’d want to interview director Lee Daniels, actor Cuba Gooding, Jr and actress Yaya Alafia at the swanky Rittenhouse Hotel, to discuss Lee…

    Candyland White Cake Showdown: DJANGO UNCHAINED

    January 1, 2013 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I always say I would have enjoyed the Antebellum South were it not for the total degradation, abomination and heinous practice of slavery. However, I like to imagine taking color and race out of the equation and instead put in robots or an alien race who truly live to serve. Then, I couldpicture myself with a pretty sweet life of sipping mint juleps on a colonnade porch, attending balls in fancy gowns, sleeping in the afternoon heat and entertaining suitors in the parlor. Writer/Director Quentin Tarantino likes to rewrite history, imagining some kick ass retribution that levels the playing field. First annihilating the Nazi’s in…
