Blog Contributor: MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN
I’m a fan of Jason Reitman’s films: Thank You for Smoking (2006) Juno (2007) Up in the Air (2009) Young Adult (2011) Labor Day (2013) there’s always a bit of melancholy mixed with subtle humor and a side of social commentary not far beneath the surface. So I’m not really sure why I haven’t made a point yet to see Men, Women & Children, although, The Rotten Tomatoes meter reading is 23 critics / 53 audience, which makes me think, no rush, see it eventually on Netflix. However, Monique, who has previously submitted reviews to Tinsel & Tine, loves the movie! See her reasons why below. – Le Anne Lindsay,…

Food in Film: CHEF
Jon Favreau's (writer, director, lead) succulent new film Chef this one's on my front burner. I've gotten a chance to see it twice already! What's great is, the second screening proved to me I really do love the film on its own merit, and not because it's a foodie movie, or because I took a day off from work to see the first screening, or because it features Food Trucks and Social Media, two things I'm in to. No, it's because Favreau understands good scenes. Good scenes with fun actors...
