Simply Marvel-ous: The 4 Comicbook Movies You Don’t Want to Miss
I’m psyched to see “The Wolverine” and the first “Thor” wasn’t bad, so I’m looking forward to that too. Chris Hemsworth was my choice for sexiest superhero until the new Superman “Man of Steel” Henry Cavill came bursting onto the screen last night! Now he’s got my vote. I’ve always preferred dark haired guys anyway, but when Hemsworth came on the scene, he toppled Robert Downey, Jr who is now #3. Hugh Jackman lost a tinge of sexiness for me after doing Broadway, it’s been a while since he was my #1, alas Wolverine has now fallen to 4th place. With Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) taking up the rear as…

These types of interviews are one of my favorite things about writing Tinsel & Tine. You have direct access to filmmakers and actors in a deluxe Center City hotel conference room, but because 3 or 4 other journalists are involved with the interview it takes the pressure off and allows for a light-hearted, fun atmosphere, as long as no one steals your question before you can ask it 😉 Epic is a tale about the magical worlds that may co-exist with…

Sumptuous: Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s
Writer/Director Matthew Miele, husband to WNBC anchor Sara Gore and new father to a baby boy, admitted he’s something of a classicist when it comes to New York. He’s a devoted follower of the AMC series Mad Men and thinks of post-World War II era up to the mid ‘60s as New York at its most creative. To him, Bergdorf’s represents New York at its best and brings back memories of Truman Capote writing Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Leonard Bernstein composing West Side Story… READ MORE Steve Ramos Upcoming Movies.com If you are a follower of Tinsel & Tine you know nothing makes me happier (aside from cake) than the…
