    Movie Blog Post: I, TONYA

    January 7, 2018 /

    Tinsel & Tine Welcomes Back Contributor Terri L. Heard Smashdance: ‘I, Tonya’ Revisits the Crash-and-burn Celebrity of Figure Skater Tonya Harding At the climax of the film I, TONYA, Margot Robbie, starring as infamous figure skater Tonya Harding, graces us with a rictus grin – both horrifying and heartbreaking – as she applies her makeup before taking to the ice at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. Staring at her, you can’t help but think of Glenn Close’s disgraced Madame Merteuil at the end of Dangerous Liaisons or the late Kurt Cobain’s psychotic grin at the end of his video for the song Smells Like Teen Spirit.

    FREETOWN: Interview with Director Garrett Batty

    April 14, 2015 /

    Interview with Garrett Batty   By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor – Terri Heard Every so often, I lose myself in the fantasy of making my own films. Somewhere in the fantasy-land that frequently floods my head, I see myself sitting in the director’s chair, calling out “Cut” or “Print” and then flash forwarding to whatever awards ceremony will have me as the awed audience applauds. Yep. Easy peasy. …Hear that? Somewhere God – however you define God (or don’t) – is laughing. Hysterically. And why wouldn’t He?

    Have You Heard: THE WEDDING RINGER

    January 19, 2015 /

    May the Best Man Win By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor TERRI HEARD Okay, here’s how the story was supposed to go. I was supposed to go to med school, become a doctor, make six figures, have a big, suburban house, get married and have the requisite 2.3 kids. All of it would be accompanied by fabulous hair, a fashion-forward wardrobe, a fit physique, and vacations in far away locales. Here’s how the story actually goes. I went to college a year early, spent three years as a Biology major, dumped it in exchange for a journalism degree and now toil away as a low paid writer in a crummy…
