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: Disney's Ice Princess

I saw Ice Princess on Friday night in a pretty empty theatre. I think there were 6 of us, including the party of 3 I was in. I thought it was a wonderful movie. Some funny parts, some touching parts, an all around family (with a more girl-type) friendly movie. I'd recommend it, especially for Mom's...
