    Favorite Moments: BOYHOOD

    August 7, 2014 /

    How I wish I could have filmed the last 12-15 years of my life, because I swear it often feels like I've done nothing, barely enjoyed myself, have made no progress, can't think of a single anecdote to tell and the small significant moments of in-significances, just don't seem to be stored in my brain...

    Biopic Full of Funk: GET ON UP (James Brown)

    August 1, 2014 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I know biopics often get a bad name, they can be cliched and predictable or the reverse, so creatively told that you lose the gist of the story and the heart of the intended subject.  I tend to like them good or bad, from offerings like The Runaways (Cherie Currie & Joan Jett) which didn’t quite hit the mark, to Ray (Ray Charles) and Walk The Line (Johnny Cash) that rightfully became critically acclaimed films.  I’m just fascinated with the whole rise and fall aspect of telling life stories.  When it comes to director Tate Taylor (The Help) efforts to tell the beginnings, middle and…

    THE PURGE ANARCHY: Quick Chat with Actor Frank Grillo in Philly

    July 14, 2014 /

    Post Update 7/18   Some of my readers may know I was a huge fan of the daytime soap Guiding Light (click for post) Frank Grillo played an important character on the show (1997-1999) Hart Jessup who was involved with another favorite character, wickedly wonderful Dinah Marler (Wendy Moniz)  I never knew until this week, when I saw a tweet from Wendy Moniz Grillo about The Purge: Anarchy that she and Frank Grillo got married!  Which means they’ve been together for about 15 years.  I love that 🙂 In terms of a really quick review of the movie: It’s definitely more the mayhem and mass chaos movie I imagined for…

    Cut Print Film: GODZILLA

    May 16, 2014 /

      I got to virtually meet a fellow Philly film writer this week!  Jeff Rollins of the awesome site Cut Print Film, their site design is so contemporary, it really make me want to redesign T&T.  We got to talking and decided it would be cool to do a cross promotion of each others sites. CPF did a fantastic job of promoting my Belle post and I’m super happy to post their Godzilla review!  It’s everything I wanted to say about the movie, yet now I don’t have to write it: By Chris Evangelista  Godzilla arrives with all the fanfare and hype possible for the King of the Monsters. Essentially…
