Movie Review: Thelma and Louise (1991)

A film by Ridley Scott One thing that I have never understood is that Thelma and Louise has been marked as this huge feminist movie (which happens to be directed by a man) that is taking aim at men and shows them all as pigs.

Movie Review: Princess Mononoke (1997)

A film by Hayao Miyazaki This is probably the best Miyazaki film that I have seen. It rivals Kiki s Delivery Service for having a story that I could get involved in and truly enjoy, but it also surpasses Spirited Away in terms of quality and storytelling craft (in my view). Kiki s Delivery...

Movie Review: Kissing Jessica Stein (2002)

A film by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld I hope that this movie does not get dismissed or categorized as that cute lesbian movie because Kissing Jessica Stein is much better than that. Jessica Stein (Jennifer Westfeldt) seems to be channeling Woody Allen (in his Annie Hall days), as a neurotic,...
