Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I think most of us would agree, although the movie’s opening scene takes place at the crux of the battle which occurred in Superman: Man of Steel (click for T&T post) Batman V Superman is really another Batman (Ben Affleck) flick, with a Superman (Henry Cavil) guest starring role and a Wonder Woman cameo. Gal Godot, by the way, is okay. I like that she’s of indeterminate race, and she looked fierce fighting Lex Luthor’s Doomsday… but Linda Carter with her amazing figure and sparkling eyes will always represent Wonder Woman for me. Director Zack Snyder states, “We felt an interesting way of beginning this story was to examine…

Uncle Bob: THE INTERN
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I really hope this movie THE INTERN encourages more mixing of the generations in the workplace. Last year a temp agency sent me on a job interview at a tech/web company; I think when sent by an agency the company hiring doesn’t really have all the details of who you are – so when the young interviewer came to greet me in the reception area, I saw a noticeable look of dismissal on his face, the moment he laid eyes on me. You could see he saw over 40, and was like, not happening. Being black and female didn’t help either. Of course he had…

BLACK MASS Fantasy Departure for Johnny Depp
Highlight: Johnny Depp as James “Whitey” Bulger By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I’m not really big on gangster films, although I do think, like most people, that Goodfellas is excellent. Despite my aversion, now is the time when the movies that will most likely be nominated for a Golden Globe or even an Oscar start hitting the theaters, so I try to see the ones with buzz, like BLACK MASS. Although, I’m not putting myself through SICARIO, thankfully, Blog Contrib Mikhail Revlock’s covering that one. Johnny Depp over the years has chosen roles where he’s disguised – starting with Edward Scissorhand, to the fey Pirate Jack…

MAGIC MIKE XXL: Review and Interview with Stephen “tWitch” Boss at Sofitel Philadelphia
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor 2012’s Magic Mike (click for T&T post) took most of us by surprise. Sure, Steven Soderbergh is an amazing director, but it just seemed like such a throwaway summer movie concept – well, we were wrong – it turned out to be a pretty darn good movie, Matthew McConaughey was fantastic and for those of us who didn’t know Channing Tatum’s background, we were amazed by his moves. Three years later we’re given the sequel and this one, under the direction of Gregory Jacobs with it’s very loose plot and limited dialogue is more or less a throwaway, but a really HOT, SEXY, SUPER FUN…

A Revlock Review: RUN ALL NIGHT
Liam Neeson’s Latest Thriller By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor Mikhail Revlock I’m probably the wrong person to be reviewing the latest Liam Neeson actioner, having observed Neeson’s ascent to action stardom at a distance and with some skepticism. To me, Neeson will always be Oskar Schindler or some prestigious variant, a habitual player in period pieces lauded by critics and reluctantly consumed by audiences, the cinematic equivalent of the Brussels sprout. I find it surreal when I spy flashes of Schindler on TV toting automatic weapons and growling murderous threats. I am not by any means an action movie snob–I have seen the vast majority of Sylvester Stallone’s…
