Trigger warning on this film for threats of sexual assault. Until Patrick’s review of Ghosts of Mars a couple of weeks ago, It’s been on the negative side at Heroine Content lately. I actually caught myself thinking “Are we done with this blog? Does the world really need an endless parade of posts about things that suck?” I watched 28… Read more »
I saw Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D but I was so bored that I have not been able to write a review. All my husband came up with was “There wasn’t much T&A for a Milla Jovovich movie” and “The black guy sure lived for a long time.” Both of these were considered good things. My thoughts were “The 3D effects… Read more »
I am still desperately in need of self-education on the perspectives of people with disabilities, and I probably always will be. I still suck at seeing discrimination and checking my own privilege. So thank goodness for the blogosphere. Reading The Gimp Parade and Ballastexistenz for quite a while was a real eye-opener and I recommend them both highly. My current… Read more »
(Trigger warning here for a joke from the movie concerning sexual assault, which is mentioned briefly at the end of this post.) Ah, Machete. What I remember best about Machete, unfortunately, is the phone call I got as the credits started to roll. It was my mother in law, telling me my three year old had fallen off a love… Read more »
Allright people, let’s talk Scott Pilgrim. On the one hand, we’ve got three ass-kicking ladies: Ramona, Knives, and Roxy. Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) carries something in her purse you totally wouldn’t expect, and for those of you who haven’t seen it, I’m not going to tell you. Knives (Ellen Wong) is a woman of color in the under 18 category… Read more »
What can I say about Predators? Probably nothing terribly coherent, but here goes. The scariest thing about it is probably the poster. I’ve never seen any other Predator movies so I don’t know if these things were more intimidating in their previous incarnations, but they lose a lot of their mystery once they ditch their cloaking devices. While I had… Read more »
I’m going to pass on linking to anything about The Last Airbender because the internet is now exploding with good writing about how that film is not only chock full of racist casting, but also quite bad, and I imagine you can find some of that writing for yourself if you are interested. We didn’t get out to see Splice… Read more »
TRIGGER WARNING for this film. Really. This film contains explicit scenes of graphic sexual violence. I almost walked out, so please be careful. I am going to mention that it happened in this review, though not discuss any specific details. A while back, Heroine Content reader -J- shared a trailer link in the comments and wondered what we would think… Read more »
I knew nothing about the comic before I went to see the Jonah Hex movie. I hope I still don’t. Because if the comic is anything like the film, it goes something like this. Once upon a time there was a man name Jonah Hex. He fought for the Confederacy because he was a libertarian, not because he supported slavery…. Read more »
I’m off to see Jonah Hex this weekend, which may or may not be a good idea. I will let you know. In the meantime, I give you a collection of links to more about Prince of Persia. If you missed Patrick’s review, do go and catch up now! (Also, if anyone can explain to me the appeal of Jake… Read more »
