How Much is That Doggy in the Trash Can? – THE DROP
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I became a Tom Hardy fan from his role in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (click for T&T post), which wasn’t a big role for him, but there was a sexy indolence about the way he played that character that caught my notice. My sister fell for him in This Means War, (click for T&T post) not the best spy rom/com, but I agree he’s rather adorably charming in that flick. I still have to catch up on Locke, (click for T&T blog contrib post). Lawless (click for T&T post) remains one of Tinsel & Tine’s most read posts, where Hardy plays the un-kill-able bootlegger, Forrest Bondurant. Bottom line, if you need an actor…

Why no Tinsel, mostly Tine?
It has been almost a month since our last film commentary, part of the reason is because I have been caring for my ailing mother, who by the grace, is self-sufficient again, not quite herself, but doesn’t need me like she did the last few weeks. During this time, however, I only missed one PFS sneak preview – Disney’s Secretariat. Understandably, there have been a few less films and events offered while gearing up for the Philadelphia Film Festival (October 14-24).
