You’ve seen this before — it’s your standard “girl falls in love with someone else on her wedding day” romantic comedy. But here’s the twist: the someone else is another girl! Insufferably cutesy, this twee British flick acts like it invented lesbianism — Isn’t it adorable how women can be gay, too? — and pats … more…
My regular monthly article is up in the new issue of the Internet Review of Science Fiction… this one’s about movies that bend concepts of time.
I am curious (yellow).
Just so’s you know, I’m still futzing with the code for this new iteration of FlickFilosopher.com — like, I just noticed that the “email a friend” function wasn’t working… but it’s fixed now.

Oh, sure, there are a bunch of new extras that were not on the original DVD release — behind-the-scenes footage … more…
I mean it as the highest of compliments when I say that the return of the campy 1960s daytime serial is deliciously, histrionically goofy: the performances are hilariously awful, the plot ridiculously soapy, the general outrageousness of it just gloriously absurd. This is the entirety of the short-lived 1991 NBC series, 12 episodes of steely-eyed … more…
